FIVE INGREDIENTS FRIDAY!!!



Ok it's friday and time for another Five Ingredients Recipe. Run on over to Overwhelmed, especially if you're hungry and don't know what to make.....the ladies all have great recipes to share.

Did I ever tell you how obsessed and addicted I am to recipes and cookbooks??? No??? Well I am, so if you ever see me next to you grabbing a cookbook, please, don't try to take it, I would hate for someone to get hurt LOL Just kidding, I'm not a violent person at all!!! LOL

This recipe that I'm sharing, doesn't have 5 ingredients, it actually only has 4, but I'm sure that's not a problem.
I picked this one because it's the season for camping and hiking and everyone is outdoors. This is great for a camp out.

Dutch Oven Campfire Cobbler

1 box white or yellow cake mix
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
2 cups water
2 cans cinnamon apple pie filling

Line Dutch oven with foil. Empty pie filling into Dutch oven. Empty cake mix on top of pie filling and spread evenly. Add butter and water. DO NOT MIX. Place Dutch oven on 10 coals. Place 8 coals on lid of Dutch oven. Bake for about 1 hour.

NOTE: Any type of pie filling can be used. Cherry filling with chocolate cake makes a good combination.

SHRIMP EGG ROLLS!!!

Last night I made Shrimp Egg Rolls, using the same recipe I did for my Chicken ones. They were DELISCIOUS. I remember when I posted the other Egg Roll recipe I didn't have any pictures to show you how to make them, especially the folding etc.

So last night, camera in hand, I took pictures every step and now I'm sharing them here for you. Just follow the recipe for the Chicken ones, but substitute the Shrimp for the Chicken.

The filling ready to go


Place your Lumpia Wrapper this way:


Place the filling in the middle


Fold over one side:


Fold over the next side, it's like folding an envelope:


Fold up:


This is what it looks like when done:


Here they are ready to fry:


Frying:


Yummy Egg Rolls all ready to eat.

RED, WHITE AND BLUEBERRY PIE!!!

This pie is just delicious, and it may look difficult to make, but it really is not. It's perfect for today's celebrations, so if you want a beautiful dessert to show off, this is the one :)

It's from one of my Pampered Chef books, so you'll notice that it will tell you to use their products, but you can easily adapt to the utensils you have in your own kitchen.
