I got this recipe from Pinch My Salt, and I altered it from her recipe. She made it with all-purpose white flour and I decided to try it with whole wheat and I was surprised at how much I liked it. I like dry crumbly scones and these turned out lovely. Instead of glazing my […]
I will always think of my husband’s Grandma Eva whenever I taste a good peanut brittle. She makes it just right and yet somehow can never admit that it is just perfect. Grandma Eva lives in a new place where she doesn’t have access to a kitchen and was unable to bring her counted-on-peanut-brittle to […]
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 […]
I made this last week and I actually didn’t have the peppermint flavoring and I thought it was too sweet. Next time I would add the peppermint flavoring and I think it would be better, I’ll let you know when I try it! :)? Got lots of compliments though.?
Crushed candy canes, to yield […]
Made this one tonight after the kids went to bed. It’s really easy to make, the hardest part for me is chopping up 2 cups of almonds, but in my opinion this recipe is well worth it!?
Ingredients
1 (10 ounce) package saltine crackers
1 cup butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 (12 ounce) packages semisweet chocolate chips […]

These turned out really yummy, the only one in the family who didn’t really care for them was Aidan whom we are discovering doesn’t really like chocolate (I don’t see how that’s possible, but I guess it’s better for him anyway right?!) I will definitely make these again.?
Ingredients
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 cups creamy peanut […]
I made this for our Christmas Eve dinner and it turned out really good. I like it because I am not too crazy about all the spices in some spiced cider recipes, this one is a little more mild than some of the others. I actually just put all the ingredients in a crockpot and […]
