family recipes, frugal tips and an occasional random post
The problem with searching for the "perfect" chocolate chip cookie, is that opinions are subjective. What I like in a cookie, maybe you don't. A recipe that one person raves over may seem blah to the next. When I saw America's Test (read full article)
I don't know about you, but I am all about easy in the summer. We sleep in, we stay up, we go to the pool, we forget that in a mere two weeks, we will be getting up between 5-5:30am to get ready for school...until next June. (UGH). Cooki (read full article)
Frankly, I would like a food chemist to tell me why these cookies turn out. Egg, peanut butter and sugar. That's it. No flour, no soda, no vanilla, no butter...it's not what I have been making for 20 years, but I wanted simple. &nbs (read full article)
I had most of a can of Eagle Brand milk leftover from making the homemade Samoa Girl Scout cookies this week, so I needed a yummy way to use it up. Enter the Eagle Brand Milk website. These bars whipped together in a flash and were big h (read full article)
As promised, here is another homemade version of a favorite Girl Scout cookie: the Samoa. This is probably my boys' favorite GS cookie. It is a shortbread cookie with a layer of chocolate on the bottom and a layer of ooey, gooey coconut (read full article)
The old saying goes, "When life hands you lemons...." my new version goes something like, "When neighbors hand you bananas, make blog posts!" Actually, that isn't a very good saying, but bloggers know what I mean. There are blog p (read full article)
I can never find lady finger cookies when I need them. I don't know if they are only in specialty stores or if they are in a very special, very secret section of chain grocery stores, but when I want them, they are impossible to find. No (read full article)
Through Foodbuzz's taste-makers program and courtesy of Kellogg's, I received the above three boxes of Kellogg's All-Bran products in the mail this week. It was serendipity. About a month ago, I had found a recipe for Chocolate Chip Cook (read full article)
I waited to post these until after the wave of Girl Scout cookie salesladies had left their tables outside the grocery stores. I would not want to put a dent into their sales. Frankly, though, I can't afford those ever shrinking lovely (read full article)
Pillsbury bake-offs have been happening for over 50 years. We are so used to hearing about them, that other than looking at the little cookbooks by the grocery check out, I bet not many of us even think about them. I found a newspaper cli (read full article)
In my opinion, this type of cookie is the epitome of old fashioned. The fork pressed edges, the filling ranging from raisins to jam, everything screams slower-paced, apron clad homemakers. The unusual thing about this particular cookie is (read full article)
It has started to occur to me that anything I can buy, I can make. Well, almost anything. I still haven't figured out, nor do I ever expect to figure out how to make shredded wheat (triscuits, mini wheats, etc.). But everythi (read full article)
Big soft oatmeal cookies loaded with raisins, I love these homey treats. A while ago I went on a cookie dough spree and made up a ton for the freezer. I made oatmeal, sugar and peanut butter cookie dough, divided it all into logs that re (read full article)
For the National Cookie Network Baking Challenge, I had to come up with a cookie using Ginger as the main flavor. In December, gingerbread is the normal cookie of choice, but I took it in a different direction. I made gingerbread drop c (read full article)
The Sweet and Simple Bakes group were challenged to bake this recipe. The biggest challenge for me was to convert the measurements from ounces to cups. I have said and continue to say, math plays a huge part in cooking. Doubling, h (read full article)
These cutout cookies came into our family during my grandmother's reign. Every Christmas she made these delectable goodies. Mom carried on the tradition and soon these cookies were simply known as "Christmas Cookies." Sure, we had (read full article)
My son, the Musician, is taking biology this year in school. His teacher assigned the class to form groups and then make edible cells. Some of the groups are making cakes, some are making pizzas. The Musician's group chose to make a (read full article)
I missed my Saturday Story this week because I was camping...so this post is a sort of combination recipe/story. My grandfather was an identical twin. He and his brother had a ball fooling people when they were young. I never thought they looked a (read full article)
