Mississippi Mud Bites....

I needed 1 inch square bites of deep chocolate today for a party so I bake the Mississippi Mud Cake in a glass 9x13 inch pan.  I buttered the pan well, then spread out the batter....baked it at 350 for about 25 min. and let it cool completely!  Then rubbed the top with confectioners sugar and cut it in tiny bite size piece!  Honestly...it was so rich and good and looked great piled on a square white plate (dusted with a bit more sugar.)  I admit that I ate SEVERAL pieces while I was cutting....I couldn't serve anyone a corner piece or one that fell apart it in the middle!  I call that quality control AND I call it delicious!

I've just had one of our new Sassy Chicken Sandwiches for lunch - after everyone else left of course - but I just have to tell you.....that sandwich is soooooo good! We use our Deliciously Dill Dip on it instead of mayo or mustard and it is just the best combination...the heat of the Sassy on the sauteed chicken breast! Just yummy!

Yummy Sweet Potato Muffins....

I have Sweet Potato Muffins on the brain right now!  I made some at breakfast this morning, had one for a snack a little while ago and I"m going to make Sweet Potato Pancakes with the rest of the batter tomorrow morning when Sage and Prescott come over!  That's right......the batter HOLDS perfectly in the refrigerator so you can have a few at a time for several days!  (Try the pancakes for sure!)

Our March Product of the month is Sweet Potato Muffins....so when you buy one this month for $7.95....we give $1.00 to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.  We change the product each month and we have people who always buy 3 of the Products each month.....all the products are good for over a year....so they stock up and the children of St. Jude benefit!   Two precious little boys from Indianola are patients of St. Jude.....they go for regular check ups ....and we pray that they will keep getting good reports.  Little Noah had a brain tumor and Riley (Prescott's best friend) had leukemia.  The research on children's cancers and catastrophic diseases that is being done at St. Jude in Memphis, TN is shared worldwide so children everywhere benefit!

White Bean Chili and Rice.....

I've "talked" often about the joys of having meals tucked away in the freezer!  Just to whet YOUR appetite...last night I pulled out a 2 cup container ofWhite Bean Chili I made before Christmas....Put on a 1/2 cup of brown rice (Uncle Ben's is a good one) and sat down to watch the news for 30 minutes.  Then I piled a LOT of fresh spinach in the bottom of a bowl, added a scoop of rice, divided the chili between Tony and I ......then popped a little more rice on top!  SOOOOO good...and healthy and quick and economical!
Can't talk about the BONUS meals often enough with our good products! 
A Thought.....why don't we start serving White Bean Chili at The Crown?????
