MOMS Club® of Madison - Southwest

In late October, four MOMS Club of SW Madison and Verona members go together to make Cream Chicken Taquitos ( http://www.annies-eats.com/ 2011/04/27/creamy-chicken- taquitos/ ). Our member Sarah B brought these as a meal to another member this summer after that family's house was damaged in a tornado. They are delicious and easy to make in large quantities and freeze. We quadrupled the recipe and we each took home 10 for a total of $7.00 in supplies for each person. The host of the event precooked the chicken so the process was speedy.  We are looking forward to a November food adventure, when one of our members Jenna is going to teach us about making artisan bread at home.

Do you have a kiddo who likes to stir or likes to eat Peeps? Or both? Then this is for you! It'll only take 10 minutes and I promise you'll thank me. Err, well, if you eat them all then maybe not, but they are yummy! http://www.redbankchocolateshoppe.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=144 You'll need: Chocolate almond bark Peeps Wax paper Melt the almond bark. Dip the Peep into the chocolate halfway. Lay on the wax paper to cool. Eat!

A few members of the MOMS Club of SW Madison & Verona gathered together this month to make one freezer meal main dish. Freezer-friendly meals can take the stress away from coming up with yet another dinner plan and help on those nights when you just don’t have time to do anything except turn on the oven. Tools: 3 shallow dishes Tongs Parchment Paper Metal Pan Ingredients: Chicken Breast Strips (you can cut your own from chicken breasts or purchase them) Flour (season with Italian Seasoning, salt, and pepper) Eggs (1 or more depending on the quantity you are making. Probably one for each pound of chicken.) Bread crumbs (we used seasoned Italian Style Bread Crumbs. ) Instructions Place seasoned flour in one dish, beaten eggs in a second dish, and bread crumbs in a third dish.  Using tongs, dip chicken (a piece at a time) first in flour, then in egg, and then in bread crumbs. Place breaded chicken in a single layer on metal pan lined with parchme...

I had the awesome luck of having frozen fruit salad last week and it was delicious! Seriously, so good. I know it's getting to be fall, but maybe there's still time for you to enjoy this!

Bag of frozen fruit (I chose berries, but you can pick whatever you like) One can of Sprite 1 package of condensed orange juice 1 large can of pineapple juice Mix all ingredients into a large bowl. Freeze overnight. Thaw in the morning then serve once it gets slushy. THEN EAT IT UP! I may have made it last night so I could enjoy it this morning.

I decided this easy would be an easy treat to make for an after school treat! I got the idea  here . This is a great idea to do with your toddler or young child. Daredevil wasn't in the mood to help, but he sure liked eating the ingredients! You need: Hugs and/or Kisses M&Ms in your color of choosing Pretzels You place your pretzels on a baking sheet, add an unwrapped hug or kiss. Bake at 200 degrees for 20 minutes Stick an M&M in the center Let cool and enjoy! So easy! And seriously, your kids would love unwrapping the candy, sorting the M&Ms, helping put the hugs or kisses on the pretzels... so much fun! Nothing better than some sweet family bonding time!

A club member loves this easy recipe that provides a good amount without ending up with a ton of leftovers. I bet you have all of the ingredients in your kitchen right now!! You'll need: 1 banana 1/2 t baking soda 1/2 cup flour 1/4 cup sugar 1/4 cup mayonnaise Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees. Spray a small loaf pan or a 8x8 cake pan with cooking spray. Mash the banana and baking soda together, then add the rest of the ingredients and mix thoroughly. Pour into pan. Cook for 15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.  Let cool, then eat and enjoy!

Tasty Tuesday is ready to give you a quick, fun and easy recipe to try with your kids this week! Cupcake cones! You need: 1 box of cake mix (grab what's in your pantry or let your kiddos pick their favorite flavor) 1 cup of water 1/3 cup canola oil 3 large eggs 24 sugar cones Icing and/or decorations Directions: 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. 2. Mix the eggs, water, cake mix and oil together until well blended. We tend to use the hand mixer because my toddler loves to help me use it. 3. Put the cones in muffin tins to bake. Then, fill the cones about 2/3 full with batter. 4. Bake for about 20 minutes. 5. Let cool (if you poke a hole in the bottom of the cone it helps keep it crisp). 6. Decorate! I need to make a special note about transportation. I used a mini muffin tin and mine ended up like this. It was a wonderful comedic moment, but completely avoidable. For a dollar, you can make one of these holders. You can find the easy details h...
