Chicken Pot Pie Empanadas

1 can Cream of Chicken
1 ½ cup your favorite frozen veggies
2 Cups cubed or shredded Chicken
2 Tbs Cream Cheese
A pinch of Seasoning Salt to taste
1 box of Pie Crust

Mix all the ingredients and heat in the microwave until cream cheese is melted.
Roll out your pie crust just a little thinner. Use a bowl to cut out circles. Fill the crust with a heaping spoon full of your chicken mix. Fold over the crust and pinch the sides of the crust (use a little water or egg white to seal the ends) and use a fork to give it that fun edge.
Brush on egg whites on top to give it a lovely gold color when cooked.
Bake in the over at 375 for about 20 mins, or until golden brown.

Tangerine Bunt Cake

This cake is SO yummy! fluffy, zesty, sweet, and fun to make. If you dont have tangerines on hand Im sure a few Oranges would work fine. I give this a 4.5 out of 5.

Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 cups cake flour, stir before measuring
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 4 ounces butter (1/2 cup)
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons finely grated tangerine zest
• 1 cup tangerine juice
• 4 large egg whites

Preparation:

Grease and flour a 10 or 12-cup tube or Bundt cake pan, or spray with a baking spray. Heat oven to 350°.

Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into a bowl; set aside. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter until light. Gradually beat in sugar; beat until light and fluffy. Add the tangerine zest and stir to blend. Add the sifted dry ingredients to the batter about 1/3 at a time, alternating with half of the tangerine juice, ending with dry ingredients. Beat until smooth and well blended. In another bowl beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold the egg whites into the batter until well blended.

Spoon batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, or until a cake tester or toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center of the cake. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes; turn out onto a serving plate to cool completely. Glaze with the tangerine glaze (instructions below) or dust with powdered sugar.

Tangerine Glaze: Combine 1 cup of sifted powdered sugar with 1 tablespoon of melted butter, 2 teaspoons finely grated tangerine zest, and enough tangerine juice to make a glaze which can be drizzled over the cake with a spoon.

Oatmeal Coconut Chewies

OK, so I kind of consider myself a bit of a cookie connoisseur. I have made a LOT of cookies in my days, and I have to say this cookie recipe is in my top 3 go-to cookie. I give this one a 5 out of 5! SO GOOD!

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened to cool room temperature
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 1/2 cups flour
• 1 cup shredded, sweetened coconut
• 1 cup quick oats
• 1 Cup Chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl cream together the sugar, eggs, butter and vanilla until light and fluffy. Add the dry ingredients and mix until combined. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto a greased or lined (silpat or parchment) baking sheet.
2. Bake at 350 degrees for 9-11 minutes, until the cookies are set but not overly browned (bake a few minutes longer for a crispier version).
