Homemade Sugar Cookies

02/25/13 | 5 ingredients or Less, Desserts, Recipes

Homemade Sugar Cookies: I'd like to begin by sharing with you that I made the Homemade Sugar Cookies featured above, with the intention of decorating them, so I wanted them to be a flatter cookie. When I want flatter cookies for decorating, I gently flatten the dough balls with the bottom of a small plate (or glass). When I want them fluffier, I leave them rounded on the sheet before baking. I ...

Sopapilla Cheesecake

02/18/13 | Desserts, Recipes

This Sopapilla Cheesecake recipe is perfect for a Cinco De Mayo Dessert, or for any other day! It's delicious and easy to make. Just after Thanksgiving, we had some friends visit us, and one of them was celebrating their birthday. Well, since they were staying in a hotel, they couldn't very well bake a cake, and you know we can't let anyone NOT have a cake on their birthday, it just isn't right. ...

Homemade Sweet & Sour Chicken

02/11/13 | Chicken, Dinner, Recipes

Homemade Sweet & Sour Chicken Recipe: My family loves to eat Sweet & Sour Chicken, but there aren't any Chinese Restaurants close to our house, and it gets expensive to purchase enough to fill up these growing boys. I went on a mission scouring the internet for recipes, so I could try to re-create this meal at home. I found one that looked like something I could manage over at Joyful ...

Mississippi Sin Dip in a French Bread Loaf

02/02/13 | Recipes

I saw several friends over the course of the fall football season discussing their love of Mississippi Sin Dip. Some like it served stuffed inside a french bread loaf with croutons, others bake it in a bowl and serve it with chips, and some use it as a topping for baked potatoes or burgers. I was intrigued, so I scoured the internet to find the recipe for Mississippi Sin Dip in a French Bread ...

Slow Cooker Chicken Teriyaki

01/31/13 | Chicken, Recipes, Slow Cooker

Slow Cooker Chicken Teriyaki The kids have found a new favorite meal at school during "Hot Lunch", Chicken Teriyaki. This isn't something I've ever made before, so I started looking around for a recipe, since they think the school doesn't serve it often enough. I came across a Freezer Cooking post on Ring Around the Rosies that looked like it contained ingredients the boys love, so I thought I'd ...

Loaded Roasted Potatoes and Chicken

01/29/13 | Chicken, Recipes

I don't generally take pictures the first time I try out a new recipe. Often, I need to make changes to suit my family's preferences, and sometimes it takes a few times of making a dish to really get it just right. This recipe, inspired by Cook Lisa Cook's Loaded Potato and Buffalo Chicken Recipe is no exception. I can't tolerate hot sauce, not even a little, it kills my tummy. So, I knew I wanted ...

New York Style Cherry Cheesecake

01/23/13 | Recipes

Nick has been asking me to make a New York Style Cherry Cheesecake for weeks, since I first made a Sopapilla Cheesecake for our friend Sean's birthday. I don't know why, but I've always been too intimidated to make Cheesecake. I finally gave in and started searching for recipes. The one that sounded best to me was over at Honey and Butter. It looked easy enough to do, and she said no cracks, no ...

Cream Cheese Scrambled Eggs

01/13/13 | 5 ingredients or Less, Breakfast, Recipes

It's national egg month, and in honor of that I made Cream Cheese Scrambled Eggs for Brunch today. I may be the pickiest egg eater on the planet, aside from eggs that are included in a recipe, I'll only eat Scrambled Eggs, and I have to be the one to cook them. I like my eggs dry, and in itty bitty pieces. I have tried to eat them out before, but people look at you weird when you order your eggs ...

No-Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies

One of the kids favorite cookie recipes for me to make, are No Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies. These are also known as: Preacher Cookies, No Bake Sunbutter Cookies, No Bake Oatmeal Cookies, No Bake Chocolate Cookies, No Bake Peanut Butter Cookies, No Bake Nutella Cookies, and infamously (probably only to us) as Poop Cookies. Why that? Because of the oatmeal in these cookies that helps with ...
