It's no secret that I love to bake... mostly cookies and sweets. Anyway, I'm often asked for my recipes so I thought I would start taking pictures and posting the recipes on our blog. You can quickly view all the recipes that I post by clicking the label located at the top right of the blog.
With any recipe that I post, please feel free to post comments about what you liked or didn't like about it. And if you try one of the recipes, please comment as to it's difficult and result.
Below are Oreo Truffles, they are delicious and pretty easy to make... albeit a little time consuming.
1 pkg. (1 lb., 2 oz.) OREO Chocolate Sandwich Cookies, divided
1 pkg. (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
2 pkg. (8 oz. each) BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate, melted
CRUSH 9 of the cookies to fine crumbs in food processor; reserve for later use. (Cookies can also be finely crushed in a resealable plastic bag using a rolling pin.) Crush remaining 36 cookies to fine crumbs; place in medium bowl. Add cream cheese; mix until well blended. Roll cookie mixture into 42 balls, about 1-inch in diameter.
DIP balls in chocolate; place on wax paper-covered baking sheet. (Any leftover chocolate can be stored at room temperature for another use.) Sprinkle with reserved cookie crumbs.
REFRIGERATE until firm, about 1 hour. Store leftover truffles, covered, in refrigerator.
I used low fat Oreo's and 1/3 less fat cream cheese and the taste was still great. I try to substitute lower fat products when I can.

Craig was having fun experimenting with the new lens that I bought him.
He shot this of me and I really like it... I'm 26 weeks.
Look at Ma, isn't she pretty!
Here is Chrissy with her best friend Wendy. Turns out that Wendy is a real person, which was quite a relief... you see, I've heard about her for years, but had never actually met her.
And here is the bride!
