Chocolate Lasagne from RS Activity May 16, 2013

INGREDIENTS
1 package regular Oreo cookies (Not Double Stuff) – about 36 cookies
6 Tablespoon butter, melted
1- 8 ounce package cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 Tablespoons cold milk1- 12 ounce tub Cool Whip, divided
2 – 3.9 ounce packages Chocolate Instant Pudding.
3 1/4 cups cold milk1 and 1/2 cups mini chocolate chips
DIRECTIONS
1. Begin by crushing 36 Oreo cookies. I used my food processor for this, but you could also place them in a large ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin. When the Oreos have turned into fine crumbs, you are done.
2. Transfer the Oreo crumbs to a large bowl. Stir in 6 tablespoons melted butter and use a fork to incorporate the butter into the cookie crumbs. When the butter is distributed, transfer the mixture to a 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Press the crumbs into the bottom of the pan. Place the pan in the refrigerator while you work on the additional layers.
3. Mix the cream cheese with a mixer until light and fluffy. Add in 2 Tablespoons of milk, and sugar, and mix well. Stir in 1 and 1/4 cups Cool Whip. Spread this mixture over the crust.
4. In a bowl, combine chocolate instant pudding with 3 and 1/4 cups cold milk. Whisk for several minutes until the pudding starts to thicken. Use a spatula to spread the mixture over the previous cream cheese layer. Allow the dessert to rest for about 5 minutes so that the pudding can firm up further.
5. Spread the remaining Cool Whip over the top. Sprinkle mini chocolate chips evenly over the top. Place in the freezer for 1 hour, or the refrigerator for 4 hours before serving.

Bottled Meat Recipes from Linda P.

BOTTLED MEAT RECIPES FROM LINDA P

Use just turkey breasts. Thaw. Cut the two sides of breast off (save the rest). Cut breast meat into pieces to fit into half pints or pints. Add ½ teaspoon salt to half pints and 1 teaspoon salt to pints. Then pack meat into bottles to within ½ inch of top. Don’t add any liquid, it will make it’s own juice. Put lids on the pressure for 75 minutes at 10 #’s pressure for pints and half pints.Depending on size of turkey breast one will fill 3 to 4 pints ( or 7 to 8 half pints).

Soup StockUse the bones from turkey breasts, put them in a large pan and cover with water. Add a large onion and a few stalks of celery. Boil until the meat falls off the bones. Put a hand full of meat in a quart jar with 1 rounded teaspoon of chicken bouillon. Strain the juice and fill the bottle to within 1 inch of the top. Seal and pressure 25 minutes at 10 #’s.Bottled

Elk or Deer I do it the same way as I do the turkey except that I use beef bouillon in place of the salt.
