I am a fan of most any breakfast food, but for Kevin waffles are near the top. On one of his days off, I decided to find a new recipe for waffles. I came across this hearty sounding oatmeal waffle recipe in a collection of Taste of Home recipes I found at a garage sale […]
Anadama Bread Recipe (Bread Machine)
Anadama Bread was a new term for me, but when I saw the recipe in an old bread machine book I had, I knew I wanted to give it a try. Molasses was listed in the ingredients and though it’s not normally an ingredient I would think of adding to bread, I was almost certain Kevin […]
Rustic Beef Stew Recipe
Lately our weather has been refusing to reach a temperature above the single digits, and often in the negative with the wind chill. Yes, brrrrr. On one particularly blustery day, I decided beef stew was the best solution to warm me inside and out. Normally I would brown the beef and the the rest […]
Apple Bars Recipe
At a fun evening with friends, Kevin and I were able to enjoy a piece (or two or three) of this amazing, partially good-for-you apple bars. Molly and her husband are pretty health conscious, but I knew they enjoy delicious foods, which told me I would totally love this dessert. She told me they were […]
Iced Oatmeal Cookies Recipe
My Grandma always kept her snack cupboard stocked with sweet, crunchy store-bought cookies like biscotti, windmills, gingersnaps and iced oatmeal cookies. They were perfect for dunking in her mid morning cup of tea or enjoying just before bed. Though most kids probably wouldn’t choose these type of cookies as their favorites, I have to say […]
Salted Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
These may be my new favorite cookie of all time. I can’t tell you how delicious the combination of sweet chocolate chips cookies is with that perfect sprinkle of salt on top. *dreamy* Additionally, the addition of only brown sugar (no white) and the melted butter makes these chewy and irresistible. Thank you, Gaby, for changing […]
Jalapeno Cheddar Cornbread Loaf Recipe
originally posted March 19, 2009 Ever since I made this loaf of bread (nearly 4 years ago!) my husband has been occasionally asking me to make it again. I give him my sincerest apologies (and I don’t know what I was thinking waiting this long. This bread is AMAZING. So moist, but also light. And […]
Saltine Crackers Recipe
Kevin and I have been making a conscious effort to eliminate over-processed foods from our cupboards. This is mostly an issue for me, as I am somewhat of a pretzel fiend and must keep crackers of all kinds around “just in case.” Maybe you can related. In an case, we opted to try to make our […]
Perfect Granola
originally posted May 4, 2011 I’ll always love the Peanut Butter Banana Granola and the Crunchy Almond Granola, but I have to say this is really the *perfect* granola recipe. It goes together SO quickly with so few ingredients–all of which you’re likely to have on hand (you can easily swap for other nuts or mix-ins.) […]
Sugared Sugar Cookie Recipe
I have finally found the secret to easy Christmas Cut-Out Cookies —eliminating the frosting. *gasp* I know, I know, it’s not the same, but friends if you despise the frosting process as much as I do then this method is your ticket to Christmas cookie happiness. All the deliciousness of the sugar cookie with the […]
