Shrimp in Sherry Cream Sauce
Microwaving is not my idea of "cooking", so I totally re-did this recipe: 1 cup Cooking Sherry 1/2 cup Milk 1/4 cup Milk 1/2 cup Fresh Chives 2 teaspoon Dried Parsley 1 tablespoon Ranch Dressing 1 Teaspoon Olive Oil 2 Tablespoons Butter 2 Tablespoons Corn Starch Salt to taste Melt butter in sauce pan over Medium heat, in separate bowl mix together 1/2 cup Milk, Corn Starch, Sherry and Parlsey. Add to sauce pan, and stir, do not let boil. Add Chives and stir. Once sauce starts to thicken continue to simmer and add ranch and 1/4 cup Milk. Stir to mix well. Add Shrimp and simmer for about 2 minutes. Drizzle with olive oil and stir. Serve Immediatly. This version is really good over Ribbon noddles. I basically re-did it completly though

Mint Chicken
This turned out pretty well, I used Crisco (butter flavor) instead of margerine and that was probably not a good idea. The chicken turned out really greasy. I also used 1 tsp garlic powder in the flour instead of real garlic. and it wasn't enough. (we love garlic) So next time, I'll use margerine and extra garlic.

One Bowl Brownies
These brownies where good, nice basic recipe for when I am running low on ingredients and craving! I also subsituted the cocoa powder for chocolate squares (what a money saver! I wish I would have know about this before) My oven runs hot and I only cooked them for 30 minutes and it was still too long. Maybe next time just cook for 27 minutes and see how that is.
