Becoming the Wife God Created Me To Be
Back around Christmas time, we made a batch of cookies, that we are still eating on! I thought you would be interested in the Monster Cookies recipe! Why are they called monster cookies? Well, they are big, and the recipe makes a big batch. If you don’t believe me, just realize that I cut the recipe in half before I posted here! Monster Cookies Recipe. Ingredients: 6 large eggs 2 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1 lb. Light brown sugar 1 [...]
I’ve been trying out a number of crock-pot recipes, and maybe it’s just me, but I have the worst luck with food burning around the top. It doesn’t burn anywhere else usually, but the top part is a mess. Now the whole point of using a crock-pot is to save time. But how much time are you saving, if you spend 20 minutes scrubbing the pot? I needed an easy way to clean my crock-pot. After trying a few experiments, [...]
Holiday food: one thing that comes to mind would be a cheese ball. After all, would it really be a family gathering with out a cheese ball? I don’t think so! So, when I held my Christmas Open house, the cheese ball certainly made the menu! I promised I would share the recipe, but, I only got one good photo. The cheese ball got dug into before I remembered to take a picture. Oops! Recipe for Cheese Ball: 1 8oz [...]

I’m honestly not a big fan of soup, most of the time I could take it or leave it. But there are a few I make a lot of just because it’s easy and tasty. A favorite is Cheddar Chowder. I will usually make this at least once or twice a month in the winter time. Besides, there is always leftovers and this soup is just as good the 4th and 5th time. Recipe for Cheddar Chowder Soup: 2c. Water [...]
Who likes Italian? Me! Me! Recipe for Creamy Fettuccine Alfredo That photo above is the only one I have of the finished dish. I was so busy eating I forgot to take a pretty, staged photo.

Earlier this month, I shared my recipe for Basil Pesto. I got a couple questions asking what I use my pesto for. Today I am over at Royal Daughter Designs, sharing my recipe for disaster, I mean my recipe for stuffed mushrooms!
I made meatloaf the other day, and we ate it for two meals. No kids means a lot of leftovers for us. Then the remaining meatloaf sits in the fridge for three days, not enough for two people but more than enough for one. Then, as I am making a fresh batch of tortillas, inspiration strikes! Easy peasy, meatloaf wraps! I put a tortilla in a pan with hot butter. Added a slice of cheese and some crumbled up meatloaf. [...]
Two of our favorite things, cookies and pizza. What happens when we mix the two? Cookie Pizza! A yummy cookie crust with all sorts of goodies sprinkled on top! Above is a picture of two different cookie pizzas ready to go into the oven. The one on the left has nuts, coconut, and mm’s while the one on the right is for picky eaters and only has mm’s on it. These are super easy to make so I thought I [...]
Today’s quick tip is how to cook pasta with out it sticking together. Nothing is worse than draining that pan of cooked pasta and finding clumps of pasta sticking together that didn’t get cooked through. There is a very simple remedy for that. Pour about a tablespoon of oil into your pan of water. Lovely picture right? Once the water starts boiling the oil mixes with the bubbles on top and as you slide your pasta into the pan, the [...]
Last week at a blog hop I came across the most delicious sounding recipe ever! It was for Chipotle Strawberry Jam, it sounded so good that the next time I went to the store I bought strawberries to make some. I ended up with about 8 pint, I say about because I kept “sampling” while I was making it. It ended up a little sweeter than I like jam to be, so next time I will not use so [...]
