Pear Tart

3/4 c. flour
1/4 tsp vanilla
2/3 c. finely chopped macadamia nuts
Cream together butter and sugar, add remaining ingredients; mix well. Press into a greased 8x8 baking dish. Cook at 350 for 2o min or until brown.

1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla
Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, egg and vanilla; mix well. Pour over the crust.

Slice pears and arrange in a single layer over filling. Mix sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle over pears. Cook at 375 for 28-30 min.
Center will be soft set and will firm upon cooling. Cool on a wire rack for 45 min. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
This sounds like a lot of work but it didn't seem like that much work when I was making it.

Olive Garden Fettucine Alfredo
8 oz. cream cheese- cut into bits
3/4 c. Parmesan cheese- shredded
1/2 c. butter or margarine
1/2 c. milk
8 oz. Fettuccine, cook--drain
In large saucepan combine cream cheese, Parmesan, butter and milk; stirring constantly until smooth. Toss pasta lightly with sauce, coating well.
Leftovers freeze well...so the recipe says, but reheating this in the microwave just isn't the same as the fresh alfredo. Just to give you an idea of how much sauce this makes...I tripled this recipe for us 12 girls and went heavy on the sauce.

Salad
Here's the salad we had too! Thanks for asking Karin!
1-2 bags Romaine lettuce (or chop Romaine hearts up...it's cheaper that way!)
Craisins
Bacon Bits
Candied Pecans (I didn't do these this time)
Shredded Parmesan Cheese
Croutons
Good Seasonings Italian Dressing (requires vinegar and oil to make)
Toss everything together right before serving. I make the dressing (according to pkg directions) beforehand and put the salad together and mix right at the end.

BBQ Ribs
Here's the recipe for the ribs. Brooke actually gave it to me so the credit goes to her :)
1-2 packages country style ribs (you can use a rack of ribs, but you have to cut it up. Brooke told me it's just easier to buy country style)
KC Masterpiece Original BBQ Sauce (I buy the big one so I have plenty!)
Place ribs in large pot and just put enough water in to cover the ribs. Season with garlic, salt and pepper. Boil for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
I spread a little BBQ sauce on the bottom of a 9X13 pan first. Place ribs in pan and generously pour BBQ sauce over each one. Sprinkle ribs with garlic. Cover and bake at 325 for 1 hour.
After the hour of cooking, take out and pour a little more BBQ sauce on them. Put back in oven for about 10 minutes. For the last 5-10 minutes of cooking, take tin foil off.
So easy and yummy!
