Oreo Balls

These are soooo good, and really easy to make. I made these for a baby shower so I drizzled them with pink chocolate, but you can buy almost any color chocolate you want at Joann's.

1 package Oreo cookies
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 package almond bark (I buy the "candiquick" from Target)

Use an electric chopper or blender to grind Oreos until they are a powder. Mix in the cream cheese. Form small balls with the mixture. Melt the almond bark in the microwave. Dip the balls into the almond bark until they are covered, and place on wax paper to dry.

Broccoli Salad

2 heads broccoli chopped in small pieces
1/2 cup bacon pieces
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1/2 cup Craisins

Dressing:
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sugar
1 Tbsp. vinegar

Mix dressing and add to all other ingredients in a large bowl. Stir well and chill in fridge for at least an hour before serving.

Strawberry and Cream Cheese French Toast

1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cinnamon
