My review:
I am on my 3rd pitcher of this, so I decided to come write a review.. My 1st pitcher, I used French Vanilla coffee and regular sweetened condensed milk. The 2nd pitcher, I use regular coffee and regular sweetened condensed milk. The 3rd pitcher, I used Chocolate coffee and fat free sweetened condensed milk. All 3 were terrific, but since I am watching my weight, I will stick with using fat free sweetened condensed milk. I can't tell a difference between the two. This is definitely my new favorite summer drink.

Baked Cinnamon Chips

I found this recipe at Our Best Bites.

All you need are flour tortillas, cinnamon sugar and butter.

Brush one side of the flour tortilla with melted butter, then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar on top. Use a pizza cutter to cut into wedges. Place them on an ungreased cookie sheet (sugar side up)and bake in a 350 degree oven for 10- 12 minutes. Yum!

Salisbury Steaks

From the Cooking for your Family board on Babycenter:

Salisbury Steak
Katie (Katiedid) from Taste of Home 2007

2 eggs
1/2 c milk
1/2 c dry bread crumbs
2 envelopes brown gravy mix, divided
2 tsp dried minced onion
1 lb lean ground beef
1 c water
2 T prepared mustard

In a bowl, whisk the eggs and milk. Add bread crumbs, 2 T gravy mix and onion. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into six patties about 3/4 in. thick. Broil 3-4 in. from the heat for 6-7 minutes on each side or until meat is no longer pink and a meat thermometer reads 160. Place remaining gravy mix in a small saucepan; stir in the water and mustard. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened. Serve the gravy over the beef patties.

These were very delicious!
