Chocolate Chunk Peanut Butter Blondies

December 21st, 2020Tina0 Comments

I always include at least one peanut butter and chocolate cookie in my holiday cookie boxes because it’s a delicious flavor combo. How much do I love peanut butter and chocolate? Let me count the ways… chocolate peanut butter surprise cookies, peanut butter chocolate cup cookies, peanut butter blossoms, and peanut butter cup cookies. Phew, that’s quite a list that I’ve got going on my blog and to be honest I’m sure there are more that I’m not remembering. It’s hard to go wrong with a classic (assuming that you don’t have a nut allergy, of course). Now I’m adding …

White Chocolate Chip Gingerbread Cookies

December 18th, 2020Tina0 Comments

It’s that time of year! Cookies 24/7. I love baking cookies so I’m totally taking advantage of the holiday baking season and am baking up a storm. You know I mean business when our fridge consists of more cookie ingredients than “real food” ingredients. I’m starting off the holiday cookie season with these amazing cookies. I think we’re all familiar with the traditional gingerbread man cookies. But have you had white chocolate chip gingerbread cookies? If you’re a fan of the traditional gingerbread man cookie, then you must make these (especially if you don’t like all the fuss of rolling …

Christmas 2020

Merry Christmas! I usually start decorating our home during Thanksgiving week, but this year I started even earlier. Maybe right after Halloween? I started with a few pine cones and pine branches in the kitchen and assured my husband that I was only decorating for winter. In truth, that is how it started. I was inspired by this Santa and so I thought I’d go just go with the flow and move him here (and hope that maybe my husband wouldn’t notice Santa made an appearance mid November). Since our dining room has become puzzle central and we’re not entertaining …

Green Beans with Bacon Recipe(Makes 4 to 6 servings) Ingredients: 12 ounces of fresh green beans 3 slices of bacon 1/2 small onion, finely chopped salt and pepper, to taste Directions: Trim the ends off of the fresh green beans (if needed) and rinse and drain them.

Popovers

What are popovers? I had never heard of them until my husband introduced me to them a few years ago. Popovers are kind of like a crepe shaped muffin. Or maybe a souffle? Essentially they are a tall airy omelette. Well, whatever they are, they are really tall and a lot of the time the bottom isn’t flat enough to let them stand up. Neat, right? My husband has a tale about popovers. As a kid, his mom used to make popovers from time to time and they always failed to pop over. To this day no one is really …
