I was searching for flourless muffin recipes and stumbled upon an Oatmeal blueberry muffin recipe. I tweaked it to suit my tastes and the results are perfectly delicious, quite satisfying, and very healthy. I have experimented with a few different add-ins, so feel free to remove blueberries entirely or replace with chocolate chips, strawberries, nuts, […]
Oatmeal Butterscotch Cookies
Aldi has just gotten their supply of seasonal baking items, and when I spotted the butterscotch chips, I knew a batch of oatmeal butterscotch cookies were necessary. I figured I could use another one of my oatmeal cookie recipes and just throw in the chips, but I decided to find an “official” obc recipe. When […]
Mocha Cookies
I set out to bake my second batch of weekly church bake sale cookies and wanted something new. Something different. I had already made Oatmeal Butterscotch Chip cookies so I wanted a chipless cookie. I opened up my trusty Betty Crocker Cookbook and decided to try the Mocha Cookie recipe. I had all of the […]
Dutch Apple Pie with Oatmeal Streusal
Oh. my. word. This streusal topped apple pie is aaaamazing. Everyone loved this version of a classic. The crunchy cinnamon topping is a perfect addition to the tart crisp sugared granny smiths piled beneath. And bonus…you don’t have to use 2 pie crusts! :) Roll out the Never Fail Pie Crust. Place in pie pan […]
“Baked” Potato Soup
I found this potato soup recipe I had copied out of Southern Living’s Slow Cooker Cookbook. It looked easy enough and would require little preparation right before the meal. I set the crockpot to high for 4 hours the night before. Refrigerated the whole insert full of soup overnight. Set back to high on Sunday […]
Banana Cream Pie
Today is our Pastor’s birthday so I got some great dessert ideas from his wife. Banana cream pie made the list and since this is another dessert I hadn’t tried my hand at before (and I had a crust in the freezer) I figured “why not”? I used Betty Crocker’s recipe for the filling and […]
Polenta Pizza
This specific recipe was found on another favorite foodie site: BrownEyedBaker. I fell in love with the idea of a (simple!) gluten free alternative to a Friday night favorite. And knowing Kevin has a bit of an obsession with cornmeal (which is the base for polenta), I figured there was nothing to lose. As predicted, […]
HERSHEY’S “Perfectly Chocolate” Chocolate Cake
oh. My. GOSH. They are NOT kidding. This cake is perfect. Perfectly chocolately. Amazingly moist. Chocolately. Not too dense not to light. Perfectly frosted. With perfectly chocolately frosting. The frosting was so good, in fact, that I might just admit to licking the bowl clean. *sigh* Amazing. I’m not sure I’ll try another chocolate cake […]
Onion Pepper Bread
This was the softest loaf of bread I have ever made. And it was absolutely scrumptious–assuming you like the spicy bite of onion, garlic and pepper. Kevin and Ben really loved this intense white bread–it disappeared quite quickly. Ingredients for 1 pound loaf 1 cup chopped onion (I used more like 1/4 to 1/2 cup […]
Sweet & Spicy Vegetable Chili
This fantastic recipe was found on Simply Recipes. I wanted a way to use all the fresh eggplant and zucchini and tomatoes in my fridge and I wasn’t looking for an “eggplant showcase” recipe. This was perfect. It was just spicy enough. Suprisingly sweet. Healthy. Perfect. Might be one of my favorite new meals. :D […]
