O' CHOCO CAFE CAKE - SEMI-HOMEMAKER RECIPE

Steps:

• Set the ice cream out on counter for about 30 to 45 minutes to soften, but not melt.
• Crush the cookies in a food processor along with the butter.
• Spray a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray and line it with waxed paper so that the paper covers sides and is taller than pan. The paper should fall over the sides of pan. Press the crushed cookies into the bottom of the pan to make a thick layer. Do not allow the cookies to go up the sides.
• Layer the ice cream in the order you prefer. (I usually do coffee, chocolate, and then the vanilla.) Smooth out each layer before pouring in the next flavor of ice cream to make a level surface for the next layer. Fill the pan with the last layer so that the ice cream is level with the sides of the pan.
• Cover with plastic wrap and place in the freezer until the ice cream is firm and solid, at least 5 to 6 hours. (I usually start this in the morning to serve as a dessert after dinner.)
• Once the ice cream is firm and solid remove the plastic wrap. Dip pan into warm water to make it easy to remove, but do not let water get inside the pan. Invert onto a decorative plate, using the waxed paper to ease the cake out of the pan. Remove the waxed paper and serve.

LEBOO'S BUFFALO POPPERS - SEMI-HOMEMAKER RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Slice the chicken tenders into cubes. Place the coating mix into a large bowl and add cubed chicken. Toss so that all of the chicken is evenly coated. Place the coated chicken onto a sheet pan and bake in the oven for about 20 minutes.
• Three minutes before the chicken comes out of the oven, combine hot sauce and honey in a large bowl. Microwave on high for 2 minutes.
• Add the chicken to the hot sauce and mix to ensure all the chicken is evenly coated with the sauce. Place on a platter with a small bowl of ranch and/or blue cheese dressing.

CHICKEN CHERRY BAGUETTE BURGERS - SEMI-HOMEMAKER RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Bake bread according to package directions, then cool. Cut loaf horizontally.
• Combine ground chicken, cherries, cherry peppers, rosemary, and salt and pepper in large bowl. Stir well to combine. Shape into 4 patties. Mist a large nonstick fry pan with cooking spray. Place over medium heat until hot. Cook burgers for about 5 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
• Stir preserves into mayonnaise in small bowl. Spread on cut sides of bread. Cut the loaf into 4 equal sections. Top the bottom bun with burger then tomato slices and 2 pieces lettuce. Place top bun on lettuce.

AUTHENTIC MEXICAN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Snap the tops off of the dried chilies, and place in a saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and simmer for 15 minutes. Drain the water, and place chilies into a food processor or blender with the garlic and salt. Puree until smooth. Press sauce through a strainer, and set aside.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Soak each tortilla in the sauce, then place in the hot oil. Turn over almost immediately, and fry for about 5 seconds on the other side. Remove to a plate that is lined with paper towels. The easiest way to do this is to fry the tortillas and stack them directly on top of each other until you have fried them all. This will keep the tortillas pliable until you are ready to fill them.
• Take one fried tortilla at a time, and fill with about 2 tablespoons of the queso fresco. Roll up, and place seam side down on a plate. Place three of these on each plate. Top in the following order: Start with a layer of sour cream, then a small handful of lettuce, three tomato slices, 2 more tablespoons of queso fresco, and finally, 1 tablespoon of green onions.
