My wife works on Wednesday and Thursday nights, and that's what my two sons consider "Boys Night!". Here is a "recipe" the three of us came up with one night. It has been a staple of boys night ever since.

SLOPPY DOUGHS

Ingredients:

• 1 lb. Ground Beef
• Sloppy Joe Mix or Prego Spaghetti Sauce
• Shredded Cheese (Chedda makes it Betta!)
• 2 cans of refrigerator biscuits

Preheat oven to 375-400

Brown the ground beef and drain. Mix the sauce or sloppy joe mix into the ground beef. While you are preparing the meat filling, the kids can open the biscuits. Their favorite part is when the container POPS open. Have them flatten out 10 biscuits onto a cookie sheet.

This is a recipe for my favorite winter-time dessert, "tarte au sucre" (sugar pie), a sweet French-Canadian favorite:

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 cup brown sugar
• 3 Tablespoons flour
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 pastry shells and 8-inch pie plate

 PREPARATION:
1. Place the brown sugar, flour and the cream into a saucepan.
2. Turn the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil for 2 minutes, remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
3. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
4. Line an 8-inch pie plate with one of pastry shells. Pour the filling into the shell.
5. Place the remaining pastry shell on top and crimp the edges to seal. Cut some steam vents in the top and bake at 375 F for 40-45 minutes.

Top it off with some vanilla ice cream and you'll be in 7th Heaven!
