If you haven’t caught on yet, I really like being in my kitchen. I spend a great majority of my time in there – experimenting, baking, burning, spilling, etc. I have several kitchen tools that I really love….and I have a really long list of kitchen tools that I would like to love – as I have extra money here and there, I buy something and remove it from the list. And yet, my list doesn’t seem to get any shorter. Hmmmm. Last year I gave you my five of my favorite kitchen tools – so this year I’m going to do it again. [Read more…]
Chocolate Sugar Cookies
Let’s end this cookie series with a bang, what do you say? Chocolate Sugar Cookies. Why not also check out these Chocolate Shipped Cookies baskets for delivery here? These are a delightful, soft, slightly sweet cookie….almost like a brownie in consistency. But I will NOT call them brownie cookies due to the strict guidelines that Barry places on brownies, which you read about yesterday. If you’re looking for a super sweet cookie, this is not the one for you….the sweetness is about the same as a muffin – not like a Great American Cookie Company cookie sugar-coma. [Read more…] |
Crock Pot Sour Cream Cake Brownies with PB Frosting
Just because we’re having a cookie series doesn’t mean I can skip Fix and Forget Friday…..it just means I have to make cookies IN the crock pot. Brownies and bar cookies always rank really high on my list – especially if they’re gooey in the middle. It is really easy to make brownies in the crock pot – as long as you remember to set a timer and don’t run off and start doing things upstairs where you can’t hear the timer. Ahem. [Read more…] |
Chocolate Granola Cookies
These cookies sorta happened by accident. I was trying to make a different cookie (not sure what kind that was either) and I ended up saying, “Hey! Let me see if I can make these taste like granola.” And guess what….I did. I think brownies were invented by accident too. I’m a culinary genius. *Cough* Anyway, these cookies are soooooooooooo good. They’re not your typical type of cookie. They’ve got a bit of crunch to them, and they are a tad bit crumbly – just like granola. Bingo! [Read more…] |
Pumpkin Chip Cookies
Are you tired of cookies yet? Because I’m not! And I’m the one eating all of these….okay, so only part of them – most of them are going into the freezer for gifts……but several are making their way into my tummy (I lost count). Who’s counting anyway? Leave me alone, gosh! ;-)These get a 10 out of 10 from me. They rank right up there with Oatmeal Raisin cookies…..probably because they sorta taste like Oatmeal Raisin cookies, but different. The same, but different. Got it? [Read more…] |
Peanutty PB Cookies
Peanut butter cookies are my Daddy’s favorite. I really should make them more often…..but I have this problem – I eat them. Admitting it is the first step in getting well. However if loving cookies is wrong, I don’t wanna be right. Can I get an amen? These are delightfully peanutty….a tad less sweet than most other cookies since I used natural peanut butter with no added sweeteners. I actually like them better than the overly sweet version. It means they pair well with ice cream. Barry says they taste VERY peanutty….hence the name. Let’s bake! [Read more…] |
Kitchen Tip Tuesday (12/6/11)
Almost every recipe for baking a cake tells you to bake the cake until it tests done in the center. I have this lovely little Pampered Chef do-hickey that does the job for me. It’s handy to have around. But what if you don’t have one? What if you don’t have a toothpick either? Hey, it could happen. I mean, you could be baking a cake in the hotel – or in the woods – or in the back yard. Of course there aren’t any Pampered Chef cake testers in there…..or toothpicks. What’s a girl to do? Use dry spaghetti! (There is no need to tell me that there is not dry spaghetti in a hotel, the woods, or the back yard.) [Read more…] |
Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Welcome to A Very Cookie Christmas! All this week I’m going to be giving you some awesome cookie recipes that you can make and share for the holiday….or make and eat for the holiday. Sometimes when it comes to cookies, sharing is highly overrated. Around my family I’m sorta known as the Cookie Queen – my cookies rock. However, don’t worry about me getting a big head…just when I start to think that I’m really something, I spill an entire jar of kefir down the drain and then pour maple syrup all over the kitchen table. I’ll give you a few of my cookie baking tips as we go along, so that you too can make awesome cookies. Today I’m sharing my #1 favorite cookie – Oatmeal Raisin. |
Before we get started, I want to let you in on a little secret…..all these recipes use whole wheat flour. I know that most of you don’t own a Nutrimill, so I wanted to make sure these recipes worked with regular, store-bought flour. For all these recipes I’ll use King Arthur White Wheat Flour. King Arthur is my favorite brand of store flour. It just seems to be of the best quality. [Read more…] |
Butternut Ice Cream
Let’s get serious here for a minute. If you’re going to be making and eating all these wonderful holiday goodies, shouldn’t you have some awesome ice cream to go with it? I think so. In fact, missing out on the ice cream part would totally put a damper on your holiday celebration. Christmas without ice cream is like Stacy without an accident….it just doesn’t happen. So, in honor of you and to help you celebrate correctly, I created an ice cream recipe that would pair well with any holiday delight – pecan pie, apple pie, pumpkin pie, chocolate cake, any cake, any cookie, dirt, macaroni, etc. Let’s make Butternut Ice Cream Y’all! [Read more…] |
Crock Pot Curried Sweet Potato & Carrot Soup
I’m just going to tell you, the name of this soup is really weird….and kinda gross. If I had seen it in a cookbook, I would have made a nasty face and passed it by as quickly as possible. Curried? Sweet Potato and Carrot curry? EWWW! My great friend, Erinn sent me this recipe with the recommendation that it was awesome. I trust Erinn. I trust her enough to make her nasty sounding Curry Soup – that’s love. And guess what? I loved it! It has an amazing blend of flavors and they all pair together wonderfully! [Read more…] |
