"Gorp"

I made this over the weekend for the (Kim) Hansen Family Halloween party, and there were requests for the recipe, so here it is! I wish I had taken a picture of it to post that too.


10 cups Golden Grahams
10 cups Rice Checks
1 bag slivered almonds
1 bag shredded coconut

Syrup:
1-1/2 cups light Karo Syrup
1-1/2 cups sugar
1 cup + 2 tablespoons butter

Combine syrup ingredients, and cook over medium heat. Bring to a boil, and let boil for 2 minutes. Pour over mixture.

You can add things to the mixture for variety. For example, I added Reese's Pieces, for the orange and brown colors. You can add M&M's, pretzel pieces, or really anything you want.

Enjoy! Erin

Cafe Rio Salad

Cafe Rio Salad: 8 flour tortillas, uncooked and large enough to cover bottom and sides of dish. Can be purchased at Macy's or Bajio grill. 2 cps. cooked spanish rice (lipton), bbq pork or chicken, Pico de gallo (chopped tomatoes and cilantro), 8 lime wedges, Creamy Tomatillo dressing, 2 cups canned black beans or Pinto beans, 2 bags romaine lettuce, Gaucamole, and corn tortilla strips. (Purchase at Bajio's)

Barbequed Pork: Place 3 lbs. Pork Roast in crock pot with 1 cup water and cook on high heat overnight of for several hours until tender. Shred with two forks. Season with 1 tsp. Garlic salt 1/4 cp. barbeque sauce, 3/4 cp ketchup, 1/2 cp sugar. These measurements are relative, of course, to your taste and the size of your roast. The Pork at Cafe Rio is very sweet, and I think it adds to the taste of the salad. Leftover Pork roast can be frozen.

Creamy Tomatillo Dressing: 2/3 cp. tomatillo salsa verde (can), 1 1/2 Tbs. sugar, 1 tsp. salt, 1 cup salad oil (vegetable or canola), 2/3 cp mayo, 2 Tbs. lime juice, 1/4 tsp. pepper, 1/4 cp. cilantro or to taste.

Apple Crisp

The apples are on so try this yummy, easy Apple Crisp. *Savanna*

6 medium apples- peeled & sliced and put into Lemon Juice

3/4 c. packed brown sugar
1/2 c. flour
1/2 c. oats
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 c. butter or margarine

Put apples in bottom of a 9x13 pan and then put the mixture on top.

Easy Caramel Apple's-Lori Hansen

Caramel Apples

1 1/2 cp. Sugar
1 1/2 cp. Brown Sugar
1 1/2 cp. Butter
1 1/2 cp. Corn Syrup
1 can sweetened condensed milk

Small bag of apples - about 8-12 depending on the size of the apples.

Combine and Stir constantly until a rolling boil appears. For those of you who have candy thermometers keep stirring until it is at soft ball. For those of you like me, get a glass of cold water and trickle a little bit in the glass. If it stays together it is done. If it immediately spreads keep stirring and try again.

Then the trick: My sister said you wait for the caramel to cool until it is just barely warm and then you get your apples on a stick and dip into the caramel. I did it and it was so easy and so yummy. I never thought I could do this.

If your going to decorate, decorate immediately after dipping other wise they won't stick. Enjoy.
