Apple Enchiladas.....are muy bien!! :)

Who knew you'd receive a great, simple, delicious recipe today and a small Spanish lesson. For FREE!!! Who says things in life are never free?? Not me, I just proved them wrong. Of course, I may charge you if you don't offer me a tasty treat when you make these.....or if you don't speak in your best Dora the Explorer accent when serving them to your family tonight. What's the Spanish word for apple, anyway? Anyone? Anyone? :)

Seriously, enjoy.

• 1 (21oz.) can apple fruit filling
• 8-10 flour tortillas (less if bigger, more if they are the smaller ones)
• 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 1/3 cup butter
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar
• 1/2 cup water

Spoon fruit filling evenly down center of each tortilla; sprinkle with cinnamon. Roll up and place seam side down in a lightly greased 9x13 baking dish. Then as you can tell from the photos of cooking camp with the kids, here, that we also sprinkle some cinnamon on top of them as well once the dish is full! :)

Bring butter and next 3 ingredients to a boil in a medium saucepan; reduce heat and simmer, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes. Pour over enchiladas and LET STAND FOR 30 minutes.

Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes.

Oatmeal Scotchies

I was having a bad Monday. So I made cookies. Now I feel better. And my tummy does too. I found this recipe in a Christian Family magazine publication while waiting in the doctor's office. The Lord is so sweet!! :)

• 1 and 1/4 cup all-purpose flour


• 1 teaspoon baking soda


• 1/2 teaspoon salt


• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon


• 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened----**I only used 1 1/2 sticks


• 3/4 cup granulated sugar


• 3/4 cup light brown sugar


• 2 large eggs


• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract


• 3 cups quick oats


• 1 and 2/3 cup butterscotch morsels (which is an entire 11oz. pkg)---**next time I won't use the whole bag, I think you can get by with just 3/4 of it.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a small bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Beat butter, sugar, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla in a large bowl with a mixer. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in oats and morsels. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased baking sheets.

Bake for 8 minutes for chewy cookies, or 10 minutes for crisp cookies. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; then you can remove to wire racks to cool completely. Or not. I don't. I eat one hot off the pan. Burn my tongue and then put them on a plate. Let them cool a few minutes and eat another one so I can taste it! :)
