So I made these today
Oreo Truffle's
about 40 oreos (make that 38- Evan scored 2 off the table)
8oz of cream cheese
dipping chocolate
I threw the oreo's in my food processor and then mixed the cream cheese in. Then made them into balls and put them on wax paper. Then I put them on a cookie sheet and threw them in the freezer for a little bit until they got hard and then melted chocolate and dipped them. Delish.
Something else that's amazing?
Chicken Piccata
Chicken
Juice of 1 lemon (3Tbsp)
3 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp minced garlic
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp basil or oregano
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Pasta
2 cups dried penne pasta
2 Tbsp butter
Juice of 2 lemons (6 Tbsp)
1 Tbsp minced garlic
1/2 cup half and half (or heavy cream)
2 tsp dried basil
2 Tbps capers
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
Chicken
Combine first 6 ingredients and mix well. Place chicken in a ziplock bag and pour marinade over chicken. Marinate overnight in the refrigerator (I only marinated for like 2 hours). When ready, grill until done. Allow chicken to rest for a few minutes and then slice into strips to serve over pasta.
Pasta
While chicken is grilling. Cook pasta according to directions (10-12 minutes). Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water and drain. In same sauce pan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in garlic and lemon juice. Pour in half and half and whisk until hot. Add some salt and pepper to taste. Add the parmesan cheese, basil and capers, and heat until cheese is melted. Check the consistency of the sauce and add some of the reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce if necessary. Toss in pasta.

Greg: I feel like I should pay you to eat this! It's so good!
I'd call that a wife win.
We love Oreo truffles. I actually heard the recipe from Missy and then made them to take to work. It's hard to stop at one!
