April Fool's lunch- Faux nuggets & fries

(originally 4/2011)

I had planned this for dinner tonight, but since we had an unexpected snow day I had to make it on the sly and serve it for lunch instead  :)    I got the nugget idea from here on the site-

but I just cut my poundcake out and dipped mine in warmed up honey and then graham cracker crumbs since Jake's allergic to nuts.  



The fries are from Family Fun, I should have cut them a little smaller but he was fooled anyway-

 Does anyone else pull pranks on their kids on April Fool's?

Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake

Image
My guys are very susceptible to advertising.   They've seen the new Papa John's commercials advertising the Mega Chocolate Chip Cookie and they asked if I could make one.    I don't have an oven proof skillet or pizza pan, so I scoured the web for one I could do in a cake pan.    I found this recipe on That's So Yummy and it was perfect since I only had 1 egg.

This is a great fix for a chocolate chip cookie craving without making a huge batch, scooping dough and then babysitting cookie sheets!

Absolutely no changes to the recipe.    Well, that's not exactly true, it said to let it cool for 4 hours and we just couldn't wait that long!

Grilled Apple Tossed Salad

**This is a sponsored post. I received products to use in recipes for this event. All opinions are my own.**

There are days in September that even though the calendar says it's fall, the thermometer screams summer!  This recipe is perfect for those days.  Very little prep, very little grilling time.  . I made a lot of little modifications.  I don't do cilantro, so I used parsley. Someone drank the last of the OJ, so I used apple cider instead.   Due to nut allergies, I don't keep walnuts in the house, so I used sunflower seeds instead.  Pumpkin seeds would be awesome too!  I omitted the cheese.  You really just can't go wrong with this one.  For a more filling dish, use the same dressing on chicken and grill it too. Thank you so much to Paul S. for the recipe!

I just am amazed with all the great dishes the others have come up with this week, I thought I had a great collection of apple recipes going, but I'm adding to it like crazy!  Don't forget about enterin…

Grilled Potato Skins

Image
(originally made 8/2010)

I have a million potato recipes.   We like them all kinds of ways.   I've done potatoes on the grill before, but always in a packet or a grill pan.   I saw this recipe on TOH while poking around one day and put it straight on the to-try list.     There's a few steps involved, but overall if you've got things laid out it all comes together fast.   I didn't get out a ruler when I cut the excess off the potatoes, but I'm sure I left a little more than 1/4", so I microwaved mine the full 10 mins.    I browned the bacon while waiting for the potatoes to come out of the microwave.   The butter mixture comes together in just a few mins.  

When I go out to eat, I will often get an appetizer as my meal...  This fits that bill perfectly.   The crisp skin and the fluffy potato, topped with melty cheese, crispy bacon, and a dollop of sour cream.    I did intend on swapping the green onions out for chives, and then totally forgot.    …
