Chocolate Drop Cookies

March 10, 2011 by Tiffany

I’m going to guess that you have everything to make these cookies in your pantry right now. Recipes that satisfy your chocolate cravings quickly and cheaply cannot be underrated.

This recipe was shared by Loy in the comment section of last week’s Ingredient Spotlight: Cocoa. My kids were scavenging in the kitchen for a snack when I saw the recipe. It didn’t take long until we were pulling warm, chocolatey cookies from the oven. Loy’s recipe calls for nuts, but I tossed in some Heath chips instead.

Cornbread Muffins

February 24, 2011 by Tiffany

Does anything round out a meal as well as cornbread? Maybe it’s just my Kentucky roots. (My mom’s family is from Kentucky, so I can claim that.) Or the fact that we’ve lived here for 20 years.

Or maybe cornbread just really does round out a meal better than most anything else.

Usually, I make Southern Cornbread or Cheddar Muffins or sometimes, Hoe Cakes. This time I wanted a muffin without the cheddar. And I wanted a little sweetness. (I actually put a bit of sugar in the cornbread. Like a Northerner!)

Raspberry Filled Brownies ala Mode

February 3, 2011 by Tiffany

If you’re looking for a special dessert for Valentines Day, this is it. Your sweetie will love you for making this!

The raspberry filling dresses up the brownies. Chocolate and raspberry mingle so well together. A scoop of vanilla ice cream with extra raspberry sauce adds decadence.

As a side note, I think I could use some food styling help. I sprinkled cocoa powder on the white plate and set the brownie in the middle. So far, so good. A round scoop of vanilla bean ice cream on top of the brownie. And then I warmed the raspberry sauce and spooned it over the top. Instead of drizzling down the ice cream in rivulets, it melted the ice cream and slid off in an un-pretty way.

Oh well. Once we dug our spoons in, it didn’t matter how pretty it looked. It tasted divine!

Oatmeal White Chocolate Chip and Cranberry Cookies

December 16, 2010 by Tiffany

Last year, I saw recipes for cookies like this floating around the internet. A friend brought some to my house and they were so good. How can you go wrong with white chocolate chips and cranberries?

I decided to make them yesterday, but didn’t want to look up the recipe. Googling is so hard, you know?

So I tweaked the Oatmeal Chocolate Chip recipe from the back of the Walmart brand oat box. As soon as I finished making them, I noticed the recipe on the back of the Craisin package. Oh well. My tweaked recipe tasted buttery, with the sweet-tart flavors of the white chips and cranberries. And the recipe made a lot. Enough to munch and freeze some for later.

Ham, Broccoli and Cheddar Soup

December 7, 2010 by Tiffany

Have I mentioned my freezer full of cubed ham? We bought 1/2 a hog (my niece’s 4-H project). The place my sister takes the pig to be processed gives us whatever they decide they’re in the mood to make. Last year we had more Italian sausage than I’d ever seen. This year it’s cubed ham.

So of course, when I decided to make a cheesy broccoli soup, I had to put some ham in it too. It’s a combination that works well and makes for a filling soup. I based the recipe on the Cream of Cauliflower Soup from More With Less Cookbook.

White Chocolate Brownies and Tate’s Bake Shop Giveaway

December 2, 2010 by Tiffany

My name for these bars would be White Chocolate Cranberry Bars, but the Tate’s Bake Shop cookbook by Kathleen King calls them White Chocolate Brownies.

By either name, they are delicious. The bars are dense and sweet, but not too sweet. You can definitely taste the white chocolate in these and the cranberries are a perfect complement.

Gingerbread Pancakes with Sweet Cider Syrup

November 18, 2010 by Tiffany

I made these pancakes for dinner last night and they quickly bumped to the top of my “recipes to share” list. Please schedule a breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner or snack time to cook up a batch. You’ll thank me later.

The pancakes are sweetened with molasses and spiced with ginger, cinnamon and allspice. But it’s the Sweet Cider Syrup that steals the show.

Chicken and Drop Dumpling Stew (and Free Thanksgiving Menu eBook!)

November 16, 2010 by Tiffany

(There’s a free Thanksgiving Menu eBook to download at the end of this post, but first I’ve got a delicious dinner recipe for you.)

I love a good bowl of comfort food. Don’t you? This is adapted from a recipe in an Amish cookbook I have. The rich broth is full of chicken, carrots, celery and easy drop dumplings. This is the first time I’ve made drop dumplings. I usually roll and cut them. We enjoyed this version. I’ll be making it again.

Caramel Apple Pie

October 28, 2010 by Tiffany

Thanksgiving means pie. This apple pie fits right in with the required pumpkin and pecan pies. Using brown sugar instead of white makes the filling rich, dark and caramely.

The recipe comes from a small cookbook my Aunt Gerry put together years ago. I bet if she’d had computers and internet, she would have had a food blog! [Read more...]

Peach Crisp in the Slow Cooker

September 9, 2010 by Tiffany

This is the first time I’ve ever made dessert in the slow cooker. We had a busy night with a soccer game for one child and practice for another child, so dinner was leftover ham sandwiches. But I did take a few minutes to throw this into the slow cooker.

Warm, cinnamony peach crisp made the quick supper seem special. The best part is, the ingredients are simple pantry staples.
