Sara's breadsticks

-I got this recipe from Sara, but I LOVE it. I make these all the time.

Here is that recipe for the breadsticks....

1 1/2 C warm water
2 TBSP sugar
1 TBSP yeast
1/2 tsp salt
3 1/2 or 4 C flour
1/4 C butter
3/4 C moz. cheese
Johnny's garlic seasoning

Mix water, sugar, and yeast together in mixing bowl. Let it sit for 5 mins. Add salt and flour, one cup at a time. Mix for 5 mins. Let rest for 5 mins. Melt butter and pour half of it in the cookie sheet. Place dough in center of cookie sheet and sit for 2-3 mins. (just in a ball) Spread dough out flat on the pan. Pour other half of butter on dough. Spread around. Sprinkle Johnny's all over the top. Sprinkle cheese on top of that. With a pizza cutter, cut in 3 rows lengthwise, 12 rows heightwise. Put pan in oven at 170 degrees for 7-10 mins. Breadsticks will rise about 1 inch. Then turn oven to 350 degrees and bake for another 12 mins, or until golden brown. (I don't take them out while I wait for the oven to preheat to 350) Let sit for 5 mins out of oven and recut.

-Im sure you can use any kind of garlic seasoning. You can buy Johnny's at Costco. It is delish, and we use it in all sorts of stuff.

Apricot Chicken

1 sm. jar Smuckers apricot preserves
1 env. Lipton onion soup mix
1 (8 oz.) bottle French salad dressing
8 boneless skinless chicken breasts

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place chicken in shallow pan. Mix apricot preserves, onion soup mix and French dressing in bowl. Mix well. Pour mixture over chicken. Bake in oven for one hour and serve.

-I will make this if I have to bring someone dinner, or I will just half the recipe. It sounds kind of gross, but it is so yummy. It's kind of like a sweet and sour chicken.
