Blue Cheese Date Wraps

This came out of Taste of Home.  Beth and I like it but Dan isn't very fond of it even though he's the one who really likes dates.

Cafe Rio Chicken

I have never been to Cafe Rio, but I understand it's the bomb.  Everyone always makes this for Stake things or for other big dinners.  It is very good and very easy.  Serve it on a tortilla with cheese, black beans, salsa, onions, sour cream, cilantro, and anything else you like.

Raspberry Rhubarb pie bars

I got these from Taste of Home and I thought they were yummy.  They're kind of a take on the apple pie bars that Nathan loves and they make a lot (2 dozen) cause they're made in a large jellyroll pan.

Good Morning Smoothie

I was just throwing in stuff one morning and Dan asked me if I was going to put anything funny in it, so I told him I'd make a normal one.  It turned out so well I decided I'd better write it down before I forgot it.  Remember on any of my smoothies, everything is just an approximation.  Play with it yourself.  If you're not into blueberry yogurt, try peach or whatever you have on hand. This makes about 8 small or 4 large smoothies:
