0:52
you know when I go out of town a lot
0:56
sometimes people will have gift baskets
0:58
waiting on me in my hotel room and it's
1:02
usually got a lot of food in it and I
1:03
love it I love gifts from the home and
1:06
from the kitchen especially I love
1:10
giving gifts from my kitchen in fact I
1:13
just found a couple of things over there
1:15
that I'm gonna be using later on in the
1:18
show the first thing I want to show
1:20
y'all is a wonderfully simple easy
1:24
recipe and it's great to give to
1:27
somebody look right here
1:31
the recipe that I'm fixin to share with
1:34
y'all is all right here in this jar and
1:38
in this little bag and these are called
1:42
a five layer bar I'm gonna start with
1:46
one and a half cups of graham cracker
1:49
crumbs and I crush these up myself which
1:53
I have right here in the little baggie I
1:58
think I'll have to supply their own
2:00
butter because I think that could get
2:01
messy but I'm gonna add one cup of
2:04
melted butter to our graham cracker
2:07
crumbs and I'm just gonna make sure that
2:12
all those crumbs are moistened with that
2:16
butter and then we're just gonna dump it
2:19
into a 13 by 9 by 2:00 p.m. and then
2:27
we're just gonna press that into the
2:31
bottom of our pan and then we're gonna
2:35
start layering our five ingredients so
2:42
there you go on the first layer I'm
2:46
gonna add one cup of butterscotch chips
2:52
my next layer is gonna be two cups of
2:56
semi-sweet
2:59
chocolate chips and then my next layer
3:11
is gonna be a half a cup of chopped
3:14
pecans mmm oops I left some chips down
3:21
in there want to get every one of them
3:25
alright and then my next layer is gonna
3:28
be one cup of sweetened flaked coconut
3:33
so how good does that look
3:36
alright now my very last ingredient that
3:40
goes into my dish is one can of
3:43
sweetened condensed milk and I'm just
3:47
gonna drizzle that over the entire top
3:50
of our five layer bars mmm you know I've
3:58
got recipes in my cookbook for sweetened
4:00
condensed milk
4:01
it's sugar in regular milk and boil it
4:05
till it thickens you know sometimes you
4:08
you think you've got everything when you
4:11
start a recipe and come to find out you
4:13
don't have any sweetened condensed milk
4:15
but it's very easy to make your own in
4:17
fact you can make them a homemade order
4:20
of sweetened condensed milk and packaged
4:23
it in a separate jar so that would be
4:28
nice just to make sure or you could just
4:30
pick them up a store-bought can and
4:32
bring it along with the five layers that
4:36
you're going to put on top now we're
4:38
gonna put this in a 350 degree oven and
4:41
we're gonna bake it for 30 minutes and I
4:44
couldn't stand waiting that long so I've
4:47
got y'all one ready here in this oven
4:50
that I want you to see look at that
4:58
oh it looks so good that first one may
5:06
be ugly coming out oh but it's not too
5:11
ugly mmm I love the flavor of the pecans
5:24
and the chocolate and the coconut and
5:26
then that butterscotch barring it oh
5:29
it's so good you know it's just the
5:31
perfect kind of sweet cookie that you
5:35
don't need much but it sure does satisfy
5:38
that craving mmm I'm really really good
5:42
I'm gonna take a break for a second and
5:45
while you're gone I'm gonna be gathering
5:47
up the ingredients for my next dish a
5:49
taco chili and I'm gonna show you an
5:52
adorable way to package that and give it
5:55
as a gift and later I'm gonna be showing
5:58
y'all another great gift idea
6:00
a spicy southwestern dip so I'll meet
6:03
y'all back in the kitchen in two minutes
6:07
[Music]
6:15
hey y'all welcome back come on down here
6:19
let me show you the next gift that
6:21
really bags up nicely a spicy taco chili
6:26
I've got one pound of ground beef in my
6:30
cast-iron skillet
6:32
so that's browned off nicely now I had
6:35
called out a bowl in a strainer just in
6:38
case my beef was fatty but it's really
6:41
not so you know I don't want to drain it
6:43
because that's gonna leave a lot of
6:45
flavor in it so I'm not gonna need this
6:47
now to our ground beef is gonna add four
6:50
cups of water I'm gonna add one can of
6:56
tomato sauce one can of diced tomatoes
7:04
you can see it's got green chilies in it
7:07
wonderful wonderful tomatoes alright now
7:11
I'm gonna come over here I've got 1 cup
7:13
of red kidney beans and I've got 1/2 a
7:16
cup of pinto beans that I soaked
7:17
overnight these are dry you can find
7:21
them in the right section in the bean
7:22
section at your grocery store now I'm
7:25
gonna just pull these out like I said
7:28
I've had them soaking it'll make them
7:30
cook a little bit quicker rather than
7:32
not soaking them the soaking just helps
7:34
their cooking process all right so into
7:36
the pot this goes alright now to our pot
7:44
I'm gonna add one envelope of buttermilk
7:48
dressing and you can find that in your
7:52
salad dressing section you know in the
7:54
powder in the envelopes and then I'm
7:56
gonna add one package of taco seasoning
7:59
which is really gonna give this pot a
8:02
lot a lot of kick in flavor and then I'm
8:06
gonna add a third of a cup of dried
8:09
onion flakes and then one tablespoon of
8:13
chili powder and then last I'm gonna add
8:17
in 1/4 of teaspoon of dried cumin
8:21
we're just gonna stir all these
8:22
ingredients up ooh this is gonna be
8:25
delicious okay so I'm gonna let this
8:29
come to a ball then I'm gonna cover it
8:32
and I'm gonna let it simmer on a rather
8:34
low heat for like two hours so now let
8:39
me show you how I'm gonna package this
8:42
up for a friend so let me get these
8:46
things together I try mix our dried
8:49
beans taco chips and I'm using a little
8:55
Croker sack I always have plenty of
8:58
Croker sack fabric around my house
9:00
because I have to tell you I keep big
9:03
old bags that we do sack races in so
9:08
I've always got Croker sack around my
9:10
house I'm just gonna gather these up
9:13
kind of put them in the center pull this
9:17
together
9:18
and this looks like a kind of
9:26
south-of-the-border package doesn't it
9:29
it's just got that feel to it all right
9:32
now I've got some ribbon and because I
9:38
don't want to take anybody dead flowers
9:40
I'm gonna be using an artificial flower
9:45
but it's gonna work up very very pretty
9:48
so just in here with my ribbon and then
9:55
I'm gonna come in here with my flowers
9:58
and my piece of greenery and every cook
10:03
needs a spoon a good wooden spoon I just
10:08
love them so I'll make sure that they
10:11

16:50
a simple Southwestern dip that's what's
16:55
coming up next
16:57
[Music]
17:05
remember I promised y'all a couple of
17:07
minutes ago that I was going to be
17:09
sharing a wonderful tip that you can
17:12
make up and give us a gift it's so good
17:15
so simple and all I'm gonna do is add
17:19
dry ingredients to my bowl and I'm gonna
17:22
start with 1/2 a cup of dried parsley
17:26
1/4 of a cup of ground cumin 1/4 of a
17:33
cup of dried chives 2 teaspoons of salt
17:38
1/3 of a teaspoon of dried minced onion
17:43
and 1/3 of a cup of chili powder and
17:48
we're just gonna mix this up we're gonna
17:52
store this in a jar and when we're ready
17:54
fuddy up all we have to do is pull this
17:57
out of our pantry and mix it with 1 cup
18:02
of mayonnaise
18:06
1 cup of sour cream so all we're gonna
18:13
do now is we're gonna take our cup of
18:15
mayonnaise our cup of sour cream and
18:18
we're gonna add 3 tablespoons of our dry
18:22
mix and then I'm gonna stir this
18:26
together and I'm gonna put it in a
18:28
refrigerator and let it sit for a couple
18:30
of hours because it's gonna take a
18:32
little while for all those flavors to
18:36
develop okay now look at that dip it
18:39
really needs to sit for a couple of
18:41
hours but I can't wait that long and
18:48
this is great with vegetables or a
18:51
veggie potato chip mmm it's really
18:57
really good
18:58
so let me share with you how I like to
19:01
package this little gift up for friends
19:03
you can see I've taken just an ordinary
19:05
can in jar and I've tied a ribbon around
19:08
it and I've simply just taken some of my
19:11
little thank-you notes with my name on
19:14
them and
19:15
I've jotted down the recipe in the card
19:18
makes a great little gift
19:21
[Music]
19:24
gosh I can't believe it's or any time
19:26
for us to go I could stay in here all
19:28
day long thinking of gifts that I could
19:31
make to give to friends now when I left
19:34
you a few minutes ago with the English
19:36
toffee I told you I was gonna fill up
19:38

19:39
cute little tin box and I did you can
19:41

19:44
English toffee and I tied a bow around

just perfectly with the 10 this is a
19:54
great little gift
19:55
