Sheetz "Gobbz" Cookies for #SundaySupper
Copycat recipes are the fun theme for today's #SundaySupper, and I knew immediately what I wanted to create! Sheetz "Gobbz" cookies. Sheetz is a gas station and convenience store near my home that I frequent occasionally, and along with gas they sell made to order food, and bakery items called Shweetz that are delivered daily. One of their bakery items is a cookie called Gobbz. It is quite tasty, slightly addicting and sort of resembles a whoopie pie. I made my cookie a little smaller, and I used buttercream for the middle. I think they are yummy!

Banana Pudding Icebox Cake
I think know it is Banana Pudding Icebox Cake time! Why?
Because It is HOT, HOT, HOT!
I grew up eating vanilla wafers and pudding, as I am sure, you probably did too. It is the first recipe I remember learning from my mom, and I make a birthday cake version of it for every one of my son's birthdays. So, my mind went to making a Banana Pudding Icebox Cake as we enjoy another heat wave here in the south, and I only want to cook if an oven or stove are not involved!
This Banana Pudding Icebox Cake recipe is so close to the original. The only major difference is that you mix the pudding with whipping cream instead of milk.

Vegetable and Chicken Shish Kabobs/#SundaySupper
I used large chunks of chicken breast mixed with colorful purple onion, red and orange peppers, and some pineapple chunks. The difference with this recipe is that I grilled the veggies separately from each other. They all need different amounts of time on the grill to bring out their optimum flavor. Then after they were all grilled, I put the shish kabobs together, glazed them with a special homemade tropical sauce, and put them back on the grill. They came out beautifully grilled, with the flavors complementing each other perfectly. I served the kabobs on a bed of whole grain rice, with a drizzle of homemade tropical sauce.

Chicken and Veggie Stir Fry/#WeekdaySupper
This Chicken and Veggie Stir Fry is a meal that is always being served in our house. We probably have it twice a week. It is a super quick meal that is good for you, and just perfect for a summertime family meal. One of the reasons it is quick to make is because I almost always have 2-3 chicken breasts cooked and ready to eat in the fridge. You can substitute those for the raw ones in the recipe. My son lives with us and he has the type of job that requires him to be in tip top physical shape, so chicken is his friend. Which means that it is pretty much all we eat. A really good aspect of this recipe is that it can accommodate a lot of different likes and dislikes when it comes to what goes in it. For instance, for this particular meal, everyone has the rice, chicken, corn and broccoli. Only my husband and I want the onion and only I want the zucchini and squash. So I cut up them up and set them aside. I did the same with the onion. When I start putting everything together, it goes quick.

Smoked Baby Back Ribs for #SundaySupper
Today #Sunday Supper is talking about food that travels. You know the kind of food I mean. The dishes you take to pot lucks, company picnics, and family reunions. Or maybe it's the casserole you drop off at your neighbors house when you know they need a helping hand. When I want to make something to take and share with others, I always take Smoked Baby Back Ribs. I love smoking ribs! It is enjoyable watching through the glass as the meat cooks,
and the aromas are heaven! Another thing about smoking these ribs~it's so easy! Wash, rinse, season and smoke. The smoker does all the
work!
