Turkey and Avocado Wraps

 

Turkey and Avocado WrapsThis is a great recipe to make for any party or picnic this summer. I have made, or at least thought about making, this delicious wrap for every party I have hosted for the last 10 years! I even took these wraps on several picnics last summer, since they are easy to make and take in your cooler or picnic basket. Feel free to omit the avocado or to substitute your favorite meat for the turkey. So…let’s get wrapping!

Let’s start by mixing the light sour cream and cream cheese together.

BBQ Country Style Ribs

BBQ Country Style ribs wThis BBQ Country Style Rib recipe is baked in the oven, not on the grill, so you are set rain or shine. My husband loves the tangy, honey sauce on the BBQ ribs and is always thrilled to see them on the menu. These are outstanding leftover! I recommend making a double batch to enjoy the locked-in flavor and juiciness the second day! 

Here are the ingredients you will need: brown sugar, ketchup, worcestershire sauce, pepper, salt, garlic salt, spicy brown mustard, honey and boneless country style ribs.

ingredientsIn a bowl mix your ketchup, brown sugar, honey, spicy brown mustard, worcestershire sauce, garlic salt, and pepper.

Butterscotch and Chocolate Chip Cookies

butterscotch-and-chocolate-chip-cookies-wHere’s a delicious cookie that combines two of my favorite things: butterscotch + chocolate = Awesome!  It has a super sweet flavor that you can’t resist.  This cookie is yummy and it’s easy to make, so lets get started. Note: this cookie really is awesome, so if you don’t want to eat a bunch of them, you need to have a plan to share them with your friends and neighbors.

Mix together two sticks of softened margarine, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup brown sugar. Cream them together until they have a light fluffy texture.

Now here’s a little trick to guarantee that the cookies have picture perfect chips on them: when the cookies come out of the oven, while they are still warm, place some butterscotch chips and chocolate chips on top of them.  Now sit back and enjoy a cookie with some cold milk.
