In all honesty, I never saw my mom make this…I have never had this…but OMG, this is right up my alley, and likely was made for my dad (who was a big peanut butter fan). I just can’t imagine this not working — it has brownies (you don’t have to even do them from scratch, …
I remember HATING these cookies as a child…why? Well, as an adult, I can’t really recall, because I made them and ate them; and they were AMAZING! The carrots added some wonderful depth to the sweetness of the cookies, and the orange icing adds a tartness that really makes this cookie a worthy addition to …
My dad loved peanut butter. It was his favorite ice cream, cookie, pie, and bar…my mother knew this, so we often had peanut butter things laying around specifically to make him happy. This recipe was one of my favorites. It must have been my dad’s too, because every time I went home there were a …
I’m not always about shortcuts…but some days, guys – some days you look at flour and sugar and think, “That is too damn much work!” AND IT IS. I was having one of those days the other weekend, but we had guests coming! Why, oh why, do these days have to come calling when friends …

Because they are EVERYTHING and they have EVERYTHING!!! And they ARE everything! These cookies are just a wonderful mix of flavors, and I can’t get enough of them. They are simple to make and they look so pretty — see: Ingredients: 1 cup softened butter (2 sticks) ½ cup sugar ½ cup firmly packed dark …
So, last time we explored Pinterest we determined that I have a love for things that are gooey. So, Vanilla Custard Cake – right up my alley, RIGHT? Especially after the Chocolate Cobbler success. Yeah, let’s make this thing! Here it is (I can’t bring myself to link it, I’m trying to save you …
So, with my new kitchen beckoning I have decided to make ALL THOSE RECIPES on Pinterest that I’ve always wanted to make but never had the time or dishes to really invest. With that being said, I’m going to take some time to review these recipes as I make them – some of them …
Here is the recipe I was talking about in my previous post: It says: They cure any illness: mumps, cramps, head colds, flu, earache. We should know because Mom (her mom, my grandma) fixed these when we were sick. Serve with hot tea, per Aunt Jan (my aunt, her sister). So here it is, in …
