When my kiddos were small, making cut out cookies was something we did a couple of times a year. They enjoyed it. They’d pitch in and help and then get ready to go off to play before all the cookies were iced and I would finish a lot of them myself. I didn’t mind, because […]
Acorn Cookies
Aren’t these the yummiest acorns you-done-did-ever-see-in-all-your-born-days? I thought so!!! I tore the magazine page out of my All You magazine containing pictures and ideas for this tasty treat. They are so simple, so easy-breezy, so cute, and PEANUT BUTTER and CHOCOLATE!!!! Winner, right there. That’s what it is. Here’s what you need: Chocolate Kisses Nutter Butter […]

Stuffed Pork Chops
This is a simple and yummy recipe. It’s a have-the-oven-on and enjoy-the-aroma type of recipe and goes well with fall weather! My Mother made these when I was growing up. Two of my aunts also made them and at least one of them would make them for her family’s Christmas dinner. When we got […]
Gourmet Chocolate Chip Cookies
These cookies are a fun chocolate-chip variation. And they have a LOT of chocolate in them. Perfect for fallish type weather approaching. Cooler days and chilly evenings make the heat of the oven and the smell of fresh baked cookies sound oh-so-delishio! They have chocolate chips in them AND they have grated chocolate. Thus, Gourmet […]
My Pie Crust
It’s Pie crust day! Or post pie-crust-recipe-day anyway! One big reason to add this is because I have a three-ring binder that contains all the recipes I’ve posted on my blog. I print them out and stick them in it. They are my well-used, often-used, go-to, loved, favorite or family recipes. My pie crust recipe isn’t […]
Homemade Salsa
I had a friend asking me about my salsa recipe. It’s one I have planned on adding here sometime. I needed to rewrite it with the changes and tweaks I’ve done and it struck me that it would be almost as quick to simply add it here. Then it would be here and she could […]
Corned Beef Cheeseball
Cheeseball. It’s just a yummy snack. It intrigues me how cream cheese can be so tasty as a salty type snack and so delicious in a sweet recipe. It’s all about what you add to it! We tend to fix cheeseball around the holidays, it seems. But, I also fix it some in the summer […]
French Bread
I kept thinking about making French Bread. It had been a long time since I’d pulled out flour and yeast and butter and salt and mixed up dough for French Bread. My family loves Butterhorns. Especially my son, so that’s what I make the most often. Still, it just sounded fun to bake French […]
Three Things {Cakes}
Today I bring you three favorite cake recipes! Vanilla Rich Chip Cake This is a McCormick recipe and you can print it out by clicking on the cake name above and hopping over to their website. I ate this at a friend’s house and she sent me the link, so I could make it too. […]
Marshmallow Peeps Surprise Cupcakes
I clicked over to Pinterest a few weeks ago to browse for a bit. Pinterest has started doing that whole picked-for-you bit and selecting pins for your feed. I hadn’t paid that much attention and probably really wouldn’t have realized they were doing this, except a few days earlier I had read a sarcastic humor comment […]
When Cookie Dough and a Kitchen Aid Mixer Catch Your Eye, This is What You Get
I walked away from my mixer. Not always the smartest thing for a cook to do. But then I’m far from the smartest. Fact is, I’m pretty simple. I knew that my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe was a big one. I knew it filled the mixer up pretty good. But the dough needed to […]
Chocolatey Butterscotch Topped Treats
We have this much loved Rice Krispy treat recipe over here… This is another favorite recipe with Rice Krispies. Different texture and different ingredients, but still pretty simple to make and if you love sweets, these are yummy! We sometimes put this recipe in a jellyroll pan and cut out shapes. This was fun back […]
Sweet and Sour Meatloaf
Meat Loaf and Macaroni & Cheese. This was a very favorite combination for a meal when my sister and brother and I were the kiddos in our home. I still think of the two together when I go to fix one or the other. We liked both things and they were comfort food. This Sweet and […]
Peanut Butter Cup Cookie Bites
Peanut Butter recipes are probably a favorite around here. At least, peanut butter and chocolate together recipes. While I like plain peanut butter cookies, I like chocolate with the peanut butter much, much better! I do love these Peanut Butter Rice Krispies and they don’t have chocolate in them. This recipe for Gooey Bars has […]
Applesauce Jello Salad
I would not say my family is a jello-salad crazy family. I can think of three jello salad recipes off the top of my head, that I, myself, like to eat and have made. I’ve never been fond of carrot salad and I don’t think I’ve ever made it. I also tend to be […]
