Sandra Lee has made a living sharing recipes that are “Semi-Homemade.” This means you don’t have to start from scratch to come up with something that tastes like it’s homemade! Box cake mixes are really versatile and useful. Some of them are really better that the consistency of a cake made from scratch!
Well, here’s a biscotti recipe made from a brownie mix. Biscotti looks really impressive and intimidating. Impressive, it is! But there’s no reason to be intimidated by this treat. This cookie is baked twice, giving it its pretty shape and crunchy texture. A sweet friend of mine shared her recipe with me and it is soooo yummy! Take a peek…

8 T butter
2 lg eggs
1 C all-purpose flour
3/4 C nuts

Chicken and Rice Soup:
In a saucepan mix a can of Cream of Chicken soup
1 can of chicken stock (instead of milk)
1 cup of cooked Rice (I usually cook up extra and keep some in the freezer for this soup)
If you have cooked chicken from a Rotisserie chicken or leftovers from another meal, you can add that too, if desired. Heat until hot.
