Today I made Toffee Bar Crunch Biscotti and Brownie Biscotti. We have company coming this evening and other company stopping by Saturday. I’ll be serving these both times. The leftovers will be frozen for Christmas. Brownie Biscotti (Recipe is from Taste of Home, though I modified it slightly.) 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted 3 eggs […]
With all the pears we’ve been gifted with, I decided to make some pear butter. It took six quarts of pear sauce to make 12 cups of pear butter. I apologize for the quality of the pictures. I took them with my iPhone. It doesn’t do the greatest job. But it does take a pic […]
We finished canning the peaches today. Thanks to our friendly peach supplier, we were able to can 169 quarts of sliced peaches this year. Not all in one day, thankfully! The first 124 will be divided between us and our son’s family, as he and our DDIL helped with the canning. Little slices of summer, […]
My dear daughter-in-law made some refrigerator pickles a few weeks ago. I was inspired to try my hand at it, as well. SO easy and they are delicious. I made two jars of dills slices, three jars of sweet pickle spears and a jar of pickled radish slices with a few cucumber chunks thrown in […]
This Crock Pot Chicken Taco Chili was a new recipe for me. See the link for the original recipe. I did change some things, so I’ll show those changes below. I had planned to make the chili in the crock pot as the original recipe does, but didn’t have all the ingredients in time to […]
I’ve been trying some new recipes and gave Chicken Linguine a try last night. Everyone gave it a thumbs up, so we’ll be having it again. I did make changes to the recipe, though. You can find the original at the link, and I’ll post what I did below. Spaghetti with Chicken and Broccoli (See? […]
Our church family makes apple butter each fall. The canned apple butter is sold to raise money for mission projects. DH brought home four quart jars, like this one. I decided to recan it in 8-oz. jelly jars. A better size for us. The only issue with recanning is to be sure the apple butter […]
When I make a pie, I usually have some leftover dough. If the kids don’t gobble it up first, I make cinnamon roses with it. Just for fun. Just because. To make cinnamon roses, roll any leftover dough out as though you were making another pie crust. I found these pictures while browsing my older […]
I’ve made cookie sheet pie for at least 25 years. I came up with the idea when making pies to take to church dinners. A cookie sheet pie serves more people than two pies will, and it’s easy to transport. And it’s always well received. 🙂 I use a 13x18x1-inch pan (called a half sheet […]
Oldest Daughter asked for tacos for supper. I decided to make Homemade Flour Tortillas. They were delicious! I made two modifications to the recipe. First I used Crisco instead of lard. I have never cooked with lard and didn’t want to buy it for the small amount needed in this recipe. Second, I used hot […]
