Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Pan Cookie

I tried this recipe yesterday, and it was SO good! I don't see myself making chocolate chip cookies anymore. These are way easier!

2-1/4 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 pkg chocolate chips
1 cup chopped nuts, optional

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 15x10-inch pan.
Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl. Beat butter, both sugars, and vanilla in a large mixer. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Gradually beat flour mixture into butter mixture. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts. Spread into prepared pan. Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

*I used a 9x13 pan, and I baked it for 28 minutes.

Salsa Chicken

2 1/3 cups Original Bisquick® mix
1/2 cup water
3 eggs
3 cups shredded Cheddar cheese (12 oz)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
6 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 3/4 lb), cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 1/2 cups Old El Paso® Thick n' Chunky salsa

Heat oven to 400°F. Spray 3 (8- or 9-inch) square pans with cooking spray. In large bowl, stir together Bisquick mix, water and eggs. Spread evenly in pans. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of the cheese over batter in each pan.


In 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook chicken in oil, stirring frequently, until outsides turn white; drain. Stir in salsa; heat until hot. Spoon evenly over batter in pans to within 1/2-inch of edges.

Bake 22 to 25 minutes or until edges are dark golden brown. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of the remaining cheese over each pan. Bake 1 to 3 minutes or until cheese is melted. Loosen from sides of pan; cut into squares.
High Altitude (3500-6500 ft): Increase first bake time to 25 to 30 minutes.



I'm trying this tonight. I got it from Betty Crocker's website! ;)

Coleslaw

This is a Paula Deen recipe for Coleslaw. I made this with Kelli when I was in Alabama, and it is YUMMY! My idea of coleslaw is KFC (I know, total hill-billy) but this was a million times better!

1/2 bell pepper, chopped
1 green onion, chopped
1/2 large carrot, chopped (or shredded)
1/8 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
1/2 cabbage head
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 tsp seasoning salt
1/4 tsp corasely ground black pepper
2 TBSP sugar
1/4 tsp lemon-pepper seasoning
1 TBSP white vinegar

Using a food prcoessor, gently process the bell pepper, onion, carrot, and parsley, being careful not to over process. Cut 1/2 of the cabage into chuncks and place in food processor and process lightly, making sure the cabbage doesn't become mushy. Slice remaining cabbage thinly. Mix the cabbage together with the processed vegetables. In a separate bowl, mix the remaining ingredients together and allow to stand for a few minutes. Combine the mayonnaise mixture with the vegetables and toss. Chill for 1 hour.
