This recipe is great!  I thought, for sure, this recipe was already on our blog until I looked for it the other day and realized it was NOT!

Okay, this one has been a great dessert hit since college!  As many of you know, cookies are my faves (raw and cooked!)   Here's a little twist to it.  And it's OH so yummy! Preheat oven to 350 Ingredients: One tube of cookie dough chopped pecans caramel sauce (like for ice cream) Directions: Spray bottom of a square pyrex pan.  Place 3/4 of cookie dough patted out flat on the bottom of the pan in oven for 4 minutes.  Take out of oven and layer the caramel on top of the cookie dough.  Then, place however many chopped pecans you would like on top of caramel.  Pat out the remaining 1/4 tube of cookie dough.  It won't cover the whole thing, so don't worry.  Place back in the oven for 12 minutes. 

This one is a real hit with the kiddos!  Easy. Ingredients: chicken tenders shredded parmesan cheese pepper olive oil Directions: Heat skillet on stove.  Add oil and let heat for 3 minutes.  Pepper chicken and roll in cheese (be generous with cheese).
