Fun new food website

I found this fun website today. The food looks D.E.L.I.C.I.O.U.S. and the music reminds me so much of my mission to West Virginia that I am ready to pack my bags.

Recipes from our August Meeting

We (my fam) made a snap decision to head to Idaho for week, so I missed my own group again...but I heard the recipes were delicious. I was going to try my hand at Ceviche, which I have been wanting to try for some time. If and when I do I will add it to this post.

Thank you Sybil for hosting at your lovely home!

So, without further chatter, here they are:

Sybil brought Mexican Cobbler

12 flour tortillas
1 stick butter
1-1/2 cups water
1/4 tsp nutmeg
21 oz can apple pie filling
1-1/2 cups sugar
1 tsp cinnamon

Chop apples in the pie filling. Fill each tortilla with 1 Tbs filling and roll up. Place in a 13x9 inch pan with rolled end down.

In saucepan add remaining ingredients and heat until sugar is dissolved and butter is melted. Pour over tortillas. Cover and let sit in refrigeratore for at least 8 hours. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-45 minutes. Serve warm.

Sherry Kennedy brought Brigaderio

3 Tbs cocoa
1 Tbs hot chocolate mix
1 Tbs butter
14 oz can condensed milk

Cook in heavy pan on medium-low heat (the lower the heat, the longer it takes) 20-30 minutes or until mixture starts to come loose from the pan. Pour into a glass bowl that has been sprayed with Pam. Let cool. Grease hands, form into balls. Roll in cocoa powdered sugar, cinnamon, nuts, whatever desired.

Makes approximately 20
