Canning & Preserving

by @ Thursday, July 22nd, 2010. Filed under In the Kitchen, On the Home Front

So harvest season is upon us and I’ve been reading and talking with lots of folks who have been or are planning to can and preserve their favorite berries and garden vegetables. Have you ever done any canning? I vaguely remember some canning from my childhood – but I remember mostly the canned salmon (GAG) [...]

Peach Muffins

Oooooh do I love muffins.  Quick & Easy to make.  Portable & Tasty.  And they can be savory or sweet!  Of course, I prefer the sweeter versions, but like to try to make them a bit healthier when I can.  Here’s a recipe I stirred up last week: Peach Muffins 2 cups flour (I used [...]

This project is RIGHT up my alley!  I’ve actually seen the end results from friends making these – and they are SO cute!  Think about it the next time you visit a yard sale, a thrift store, or get some hand-me-downs that you don’t know what to do with! Teacup Candle What a sweet gift [...]

I was so excited to receive a copy of two cookie recipes from my sweet friend, Donna, on Sunday morning.  She’d read my post about wanting the PERFECT Sugar Cookie recipe and found a couple to share with me.  This recipe isn’t exactly a sugar cookie, but I had to share it anyways!  She said [...]

No Fail Sugar Cookies

Do you have a favorite sugar cookie recipe? The kind you can roll and cut and frost to perfection.   I don’t.  I haven’t been able to find one that was “perfect” for such a purpose.  They’ve either been too crunchy (which ruins the frosting effect) or too bland (which is NOT a good quality in [...]

Healthy Snack for Kids and Moms!

Do you enjoy cool treats when the sun starts to shine more?  Yep – we’re big fans of ice cream, but let’s face it – it’s just not healthy to eat ice cream every day.  Here’s an alternative treat that might satisfy your craving while offering some good nutrition! Crunchy Frozen Bananas 4 firm ripe [...]

Ahhh, what a fun day to celebrate:  Chocolate Cake Day!  It was actually Wednesday, but we can still celebrate it today with one of my all time favorite family cakes.  We called it Texas Sheet Cake – but it goes by other names as well.  You can try to make it without the pecans, but [...]

If you happen to not like cottage cheese, these are gonna sound odd, but this recipe makes some great fudgy-chocolate cookies.  My mom made these while I was growing up and they were some of my favorite cookies as a kid.  It’s been awhile since I made them myself, but Chocolate Friday is inspiring me [...]
