This cookie has been requested a few times by the “customers” at church every Sunday. (Where I sell a few dozen cookies to make money for a youth group fund.) I finally got around to using the recipe on the back of my 72oz bag of chocolate chips (also known as “morsels”). The cookies are […]
Oatmeal Cookies
I have always preferred a “pure” oatmeal cookie to one including raisins…or even chocolate chips. I love the texture of the oats combined with the spice of the cinnamon. De double licious. I have just one “plain” oatmeal cookie recipe so I wanted to try a new one–especially since I think the recipe I have […]
Harvest Soup
I found this recipe on Stephanie’s famous blog–A Year of Slow Cooking. If you ever need ideas for what or how to cook in your crockpot, you must check this site out. She has just recently published a slow cooking cookbook–way to go, Stephanie! Anyways, I was searching for (wonderful) ways to utilize the massive […]
Spicy Homemade Salsa
This is an incredible use of your garden tomatoes! I found this salsa recipe over at Annie’s Eats and as I’ve mentioned before, she never fails me. :) I had all the ingredients on hand–though I did substitute a few items (like lemon juice for the lime juice). You’ll want to be very very careful […]
Banana Bread
I’m not sure I’ll ever stop trying new banana bread recipes. I just love almost every results and each of them is slightly unique. Therefore I cannot stop. So if you have a favorite banana bread recipe please please share it with me! I would LOVE to try it! I whipped the up the other […]
Chocolate Chip & Pretzel Cookie Bars
I stumbled across this recipe as I was browsing the Brown Eyed Baker’s recipe blog. She has some amazing photographs and even better recipes and I never doubted that anything I tried by her recommendation would not fail to impress. When I showed Kevin the picture of these cookie bars he immediately declared, “You have […]
Soft No-Roll Sugar Cookies
Once again, the Betty Crocker Cookbook has passed with flying colors. I have made cut out sugar cookies many times but never an unfrosted round simple sugar cookie such as this. I love this recipe! Quite fast and easy to throw together–even with the addition of oil and powdered sugar (two additions I don’t normally […]
Crockpot Corn on the Cob
This is by far the simplest meal you could ever think of preparing. And not only that but cleanup involves…ummmm…throwing away the tin foil and putting your crockpot away. How awesome is that?! I had a thought the other day as I watched the weather forecast for the week. The temperatures were skyrocketing and taking […]
Garlic Deviled Eggs
These deviled eggs are not for the faint of heart. I set about making this lovely little appetizer in hopes of making my husband very happy. He loves deviled eggs! I do too! However, I have never made them before (which is weird actually) and I wasn’t exactly sure what the protocol was for deviling […]
Overnight Cinnamon Rolls
I have been dying to try my hand at homemade cinnamon rolls for quite some time now, but I knew making them when just Kevin and I were home was probably not the best idea. :) So when six of my best girl friends were spending Friday night at our house I decided it was […]
