WEEKEND EDITION

This weekend’s sweet treat is by far my favorite thus far. Hope you enjoy too!

Lemon Yogurt Cookies

• 2 1/2 c. + 2 T. flour
• 1 t. baking powder
• 1/2 t. baking soda
• 1 t. salt
• 2 eggs
• 1 1/2 c. granulate sugar
• 1/3 c. vegetable oil
• 1/2 c. low-fat lemon yogurt
• 1/2 t. lemon zest
• 1 t. lemon juice

Pre-heat oven to 350°. Lightly grease a cookie sheet and set aside. In a medium bowl, mix together dry indgrients. In a large bowl, beat together the wet ingredients. Add the dry to the wet and mix well to incorporate completely. Drop by rounded teaspoons onto the cookie sheet (TIP: Coat the spoon with non-stick cooking spray for the batter to slide right off) and bake for 11-13 minutes, or until just starting to brown. Cool on the sheet two minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Ice with Lemon Butter Icing (recipe below).

Lemon Butter Icing

• 1 1/2 c, confectioners sugar
• 2 T. butter, softened
• 1 T. milk
• 1/2 t. lemon zest
• 1 t. lemon juice

Mix together until smooth and spreadable.

Stampede Chili

Tonight, I threw together chili, which I LOVE! I made it a little different this time. I used stew meat instead of hamburger.

What You Need:

• Stew Meat
• Marinade
• 2 cans of chili beans
• 1 large can diced tomatoes
• Toppings (shredded cheese, green onions, sour cream, whatever you like)
• Pillsbury Cornbread Twists (Yum!)

What You Do:

Marinate the stew meat for a couple of hours. Heat a Dutch Oven on medium heat and throw the meast in. Brown on all sides. Add the beans with liquid and the can of tomatoes, with or without liquid-depends on your preference. Let cook for an hour or so. Serve with toppings and cornbread twists.

Hope you enjoy! Thanks for having Dinner at The Hampton’s and see you around the table next time!

Lunch is Served

I don’t normally blog about lunch, but I made a yummy one today, so I have to share. It started out as just turkey sandwich, until I opened the frig and saw a piece of left over KFC chicken. I know…I know, but it’s so good.

Anyway, I picked the chicken (and, yes I threw away the skin, though my husband would have passed out if he saw that), I added a little chopped turkey, because it wasn’t much. Next, some diced red onion (I buy mine pre-chopped at the store) and a half a chopped avocado. About a tablespoon or two of Miracle Whip and a little salt and pepper. I had mine on a toasted cracked wheat bun with a couple of thin slices of mozzerella. Mmmm!

Hope you like this one too!
