DIRECTIONS:

1: Heat oven to 425°F. Spray 15x10x1-inch pan with cooking spray.

2: Beat eggs in a shallow dish or pie plate. Place cracker crumbs in another shallow dish or pie plate.

3: Cut chicken breast into strips. Dip each strip into eggs then coat with cracker crumbs and place in pan. Drizzle with melted butter.

3: Bake 12 to 18 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in center (165°F). Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

Darlene’s Tips:  Place the crackers in a plastic bag and use a rolling pin or mallet to crush them. You could also cut the chicken into nuggets. Want them spicy? Add some cayenne pepper to the crackers! Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

INGREDIENTS:
check for ingredient coupons here
3 tablespoons butter
4 medium Golden Delicious apples, cored, cut into 3/4-inch wedges (about 2 lb)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup apple cider
1 tablespoon cornstarch
(see my tips below)

See my Darlene’s Concoctions videos here!

DIRECTIONS:

1:  Melt butter over medium heat in a 12-inch nonstick skillet. Add apples, sugars and spices and stir to coat. Cover and cook 11 to 14 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Transfer to serving dish. Cover to keep warm.

2:  Beat cider and cornstarch with whisk in a small cup.  Add to same skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly to blend. Simmer 30 to 60 seconds or until thickened. Pour mixture over apples and serve.

Darlene’s Tips:  You could swap out the cider for apple juice (less expensive). Add any other ingredients you like. Chopped pecans or walnuts would be great! Want something chewy? Chopped date or raisins might do the trick!

Easy Cake Mix Cookies Recipe

Check Out My New eBay Store!

INGREDIENTS:
check for ingredient coupons here
1 box Betty Crocker Super Moist cake mix
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
(see my tips below)

See my Darlene’s Concoctions videos here!

DIRECTIONS:

1:  Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Mix cake mix, oil and eggs in a large bowl with spoon until dough forms.

2:  Refrigerate dough 15 to 30 minutes or as needed for easier handling. Shape dough into 1-inch balls and roll in sugar. Place balls about 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.

3:  Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until set. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. Store tightly covered.

Darlene’s Tips:  You can roll in powdered sugar instead of granulated sugar for a crinkle cookie effect. If your dough is too soft, add a bit of flour, just a spoonfull at a time, until you can roll balls easily.  Or just try dropping soft dough into the sugar and covering gently and placing on the cookie sheet as a dropped cookie. I bet that would still turn out great! Experiment!
