Iced Coffee

Need an iced coffee the way the fast food places make it? This recipe hits that nail on the head but you have to make your own vanilla syrup.

Iced Coffee:

1 cup cold coffee
1/4 cup vanilla syrup
1/4 cup half & half cream
Lots of ice cubes

Vanilla Syrup:

2.5 cups water
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
4 T. vanilla

Heat the water and the sugars until the sugar is all dissolved. Remove from heat. Once cool, add the vanilla.

One Pan Chicken Dinner

Great recipe that uses what's on hand for an easy dinner!

3 chicken breasts
6 potatoes
bunch of carrots and maybe some onions (or other vegetables of choice; green beans or broccoli might be good)
1/2 cup butter
1 pkg. onion soup mix

Place the chicken down the middle of a 9x13 pan. On one side arrange the potatoes and on the other the carrots and onions. Slice the butter into little slices and lay over the whole thing, then sprinkle with the onion soup mix (you don't have to use a whole package; it works with less). Cover with foil and bake for an hour at 350.
