Five Ingredients

Here are two recipes I tried on Wednesday that are absolutely soooo yummy! They are both from this month's Taste of Home Magazine. They both contain just five ingredients--my kind of recipe! (Sorry, no pictures this time, it was all eaten too quickly!)

Moist and Tender Turkey Breast:
1 bone-in turkey breast (5-7 lbs)
4 fresh rosemary sprigs (or dried, they're both yummy)
4 garlic cloves, peeled
1 Tbsp. brown sugar
1/2 tsp coarsely ground pepper
1/4 tsp salt (salt and pepper kind of count as one ingredient w/this one)

Place turkey in a 6 qt slow cooker. Place rosemary and garlic around turkey. Combine the brown sugar, pepper and salt, sprinkle over the turkey.

Cover and cooke on low for 4-6 hours or until turkey is tender.

Not only is the turkey SUPER moist, the gravy that you can make w/this tops all others!!!


Gooey Chocolate Cookies:
1 pkg (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1/2 c. butter, softened
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 pkg (18.25 oz) chocolate cake mix

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Add cake mix and mix well (dough will be sticky!). Cover and refrigerate for 2 hrs.

Roll rounded tablespoonfuls of dough into balls. (Your hands will get messy!) Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for 9-11 mins or until tops are cracked. Cool for 2 mins before removing from pans to wire racks.

Yum, those both sound great. Definitely trying the turkey... that is of course if I can get hands on a turkey breast (it's pretty slim pickins at the commisary around here!)
