Grilled Cheese - For Dessert?

Doesn't that look WONDERFUL???

This recipe is perfect-I have been looking for new recipes to use with all of my FREE Cream Cheese I've received over the last 2 months. Nothing But Country just posted this awesome & unique recipe. You can check out all of her yummy recipes HERE

Ingredients:

4 slices of your favorite bread
Soft Cream Cheese
Nutella (If you haven’t heard of this wonderful spread at your local grocer- check out www.nutella.com)
1 banana
Powdered Sugar for dusting


You will create 2 sandwiches. In each sandwich spread 1 slice with cream cheese, the other slice with nutella and 1/2 of a banana cut up in and assembed into the sandwich. Create a 2nd with the rest of your banana.


Heat up a grill pan, and spray with cooking spray. Toast/Grill both sides of your sandwich till everything is warm/melted and gooey!


Remove and cut in 1/2 and dust with powdered sugar.

By the way did you know that April is National Grilled Cheese month?

Yummy, Easy & Frugal Recipe!

I don't know about you, but in the last 2wks I have gotten a TON of canned biscuits for free or super cheap!! Wasn't exactly sure what I was going to do with so many, and I remembered my best friends recipe for Chicken & Dumplings! It's SO easy and is SOOO good! I usually have it when the weather is cooler, but it looks like that won't be happening any time soon here in Central Florida!

MB's Chicken & Dumplings:

INGREDIENTS

* 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
* 2 tablespoons butter
* 2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed cream of chicken soup
* 1 onion, finely diced
* 2 (10 ounce) packages refrigerated biscuit dough, torn into pieces
* 6 Boiled Eggs sliced
* Chicken Broth or water and chicken bullion
* Lots of black pepper

DIRECTIONS

1. Place the chicken, butter, soup, and onion in a slow cooker, and fill with enough chicken broth (or water & bullion) to cover. (I put alot of pepper to taste)
2. Cover, and cook for 5 to 6 hours on High. About 30 minutes before serving, carefully fold in 6 sliced up boiled eggs and place the torn biscuit dough in the slow cooker. Cook until the dough is no longer raw in the center.

I usually add the pepper twice. Once at the beginning & again about 1/2 way through. I didn't have onions tonight, so I used onion powder.

Thanks again Mary Beth! My family loves this dish!
