Blackberry Cobbler

Posted on August 12, 2008 by Jenni| Leave a comment

My kids are not huge fans of fruit desserts, pies and such. So I thought I would try this cobbler recipe from my “Best of Country Pies” recipe book that I got from my mom a few years ago. The kids loved this dessert! It was pretty cakey and less juicy/fruity :)  So if you are looking for a cobbler recipe that is chalk full of fruit this would not be the one you are looking for, although the cake part is so good, you can always double the fruit part and put a bunch on the bottom, it would be delicious either way!

Frozen Fruit Sorbet-Homemade

Posted on May 27, 2008 by Jenni| 4 Comments

Homemade frozen fuit icecream

This ice cream or sorbet was perfect! The kids had a blast making it with our new juicer and it was so fast and easy. The best part about it is that it’s so healthy, you could eat it for breakfast lunch and dinner. Nothing added, just frozen fruit. Half the fruit I froze myself and the others, I bought at Costco. It really is a simple and quick dessert, the whole thing (without kids) could be made and cleaned up in about 15 minutes! All the kids loved it and they always love to help me in the kitchen so that was an added bonus!

My New Green Star Juicer 1000

They are really impressed with the new juicer

For those of you who know about juicing, this juicer is amazing! The pulp is totally dry when it comes out and I’m getting a lot more juice for how many vegetables I am juicing. Tonight we made ice cream from frozen fruit, it was absolutely amazing! We are going to get years of use out of this machine and will probably use it daily if not multiple times a day! I can make juice, nut butters, ice cream, soup, and if I had the other attachments I could make pasta and bread sticks (among many other things). Anyway, this tool is going to be a great benefit to the health of our family, thanks for letting me get it hon!

Green Lemonade, before I mixed it-isn't it beautiful?!

Green Lemonade Just wait until you see the ice cream we made tonight, simply from frozen fruit, that’s it! It was delicious, although I think it gave the kids a bit of a fruit sugar high, they were really wired before bed time! :) You gotta live a little right?!

Delicious Homemade Brownies, yum!

Delicious Homemade Brownies
Tonight I was really craving something sweet. I may have broken down and drug the family to Cold Stone Creamery if we had had any extra cash. But we didn’t, so I had to be creative. So what is the first thing that draws the creativity out of me when I am pregnant and tired? Chocolate. These brownies were really amazing. I have never made homemade brownies before, and now I’m pretty sure that I will never again buy a mix (okay, don’t say “never” Jenni!) I adjusted this recipe a bit, that I found from Allrecipes, they turned out wonderfully!

Chocolate and Peanutbutter – a Service of Love

Chocolate Peanutbutter Cheesecake
My dear friend Rene made me a Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheesecake for my birthday. I must add that she is 13 weeks pregnant and really sick (and she can’t eat peanut butter while she pregnant because it makes her sick!). Thank you Rene, it was a beautiful cheesecake and tasted so good! A few of my lady friends met me at a Starbucks in Marysville to have coffee for my birthday, it was so nice visiting with them. I have some really great friends, God has blessed me :) Thanks ladies, and thanks again Rene for the sweet cheesecake, I know that it was a sacrifice for you to make it. Bless you!

Whole Wheat Carrot Cake

My mother made this recipe and for all the healthy stuff in this cake, it was delicious!  This cake is very moist, and the neat thing about this recipe is that you can really adjust it to your own preferences. I will definitely be making this cake, one day!

Orange Ribbon Cheesecake Recipe

Posted on November 4, 2007 by Jenni| 2 Comments

I had a lot of fun making this cheesecake, actually a confession, I just really love cheesecake! For some reason I always seem to find an excuse to try a new recipe for a special occasion. The candied orange slices were different and yet very tasty. I will make this again, with just a few alterations next time. I think the only thing I would suggest ahead of time is to be sure to cut the orange slices very thin, otherwise the orange flavor is overpowering, otherwise it was delicious.
