Chocolate Lush

My friend Nicole T. gave me this recipe for the holiday's.  I tried it and it was the BEST! She said she never used the nuts, so I decided not to either, it was great without them =D I also used lemon pudding instead of chocolate.  You can also use banana, and put sliced bananas on top before you spread on the cool-whip.

Ingredients:

2 Cup flour
2 Stick margarine or butter
3/4 Cup chopped walnuts
1 Cup confectioners sugar
1 Cup Cool Whip (from a 12 oz. container)
1 8 Oz pkg. cream cheese, softened
2 small Pkg instant chocolate pudding
3 Cup milk

Directions:

Combine margarine, flour and walnuts. Press into bottom of a 9" x 13" baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees 1/2 hour until lightly browned.

Beat softened cream cheese with confectioners sugar. Blend in 1 cup Cool Whip. Spread on top of cooled crust.

Mix pudding with milk with electric mixer. Let stand until thick. Spread on top of cream cheese filling. Spread remaining Cool Whip over top and sprinkle with nuts if desired.

I really wished I had taken a picture of it! If I make it again I will be sure to post one!

Egg Drop Soup

I never really liked the recipes I have found for egg drop soup, so I basically read over dozens of them and came up with my own.  But its not too original!

Ingredients:

Large sauce pan 3/4 of the way full with chicken broth

3 Tablespoons Soy Sauce

2 Tablespoons Sesame Seed Oil

Dash of salt and pepper

1 Teaspoons of dried ginger

4 beaten eggs

3/4 cup rice optional

Diced Onion optional

Directions:

Bring broth and first 5 ingredients to a simmer.  Add the rice and onion, and cook until rice is tender.  Then slowly pour the eggs into the simmering pot, turn off heat.


Serve with dinner rolls =D
