Wontons

Do you want to make friends?

These wontons are AMAZING! I'm always the hero on poker nights when I make and serve these to the guys. Emma gets upset if I don't save some for her breakfast the next day.

Wontons
1 pkg. Wonton wraps
1 lb. pork sausage, browned and drained
1 c. mayonnaise
1 envelope of Hidden Valley Ranch dressing mix
2 c. cheddar cheese, shred
½ c. red pepper, chopped
1 small can of black olives

Mix mayonnaise, dry dressing, sausage, olives, pepper, and cheese. Place a small amount in the center of each wrap and set in a mini-muffin cup. Bake at 350* for 10-15 mins. Serve warm.

Dutch Letter Bars

Oh, so yummy! These were a new recipe I tried from a "Our Iowa" magazine at G'ma Munson's. Katelynn went NUTS over these! (and admittedly, so did I!)

Dutch Letter Bars
1 stick of butter
1 stick of margarine
2 eggs
1 can/roll of almond paste (7-8 ozs.)
2 c. sugar
2 c. flour
additional sugar/almonds to place on top

In a large mixing bowl, cream margarine, butter, and eggs. Beat in the almond paste. (This may be difficult.) Add sugar and flour; mix well. Spread into a greased 9x13 pan. Sprinkle the top with sugar and almonds. Bake at 350* for 30-35 minutes until the top is browned.

**I left the almonds off the top

I hope to be posting many recipes soon as I'm typing them for an upcoming wedding present.

My girls love these and although I don't make them often, they are nice for veggie variety!

Cooked Baby Carrots

16 ozs. Baby carrots

1 c. apple juice

¾ c. water

1/3 c. honey

Combine all and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 10-14 mins. until tender.
