Merry Christmas! I hope you have all enjoyed my 25 days of sweet treats and good eats. I've enjoyed sharing some of my favorite holiday recipes with you. Today is the final day of sharing, so I'm ending with my family's favorite sweet treat of all time. If you know my family at ...
It's Christmas Eve! I woke up this morning to freezing cold temperatures (it was only 10 degrees), and decided that today I needed to make a warm breakfast treat for me and Corey. Today's good eat is a yummy breakfast bread that you can quickly make for your family on a holiday ...
This is a tasty loaf to make for breakfast or brunch. Ingredients: 1/2 pound of turkey sausage 1/4 cup diced onion (can substitute 1/2 t onion powder if you don't like onion) 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese 2 eggs 1 teaspoon hot sauce or 1/4 t ...
Day 23! How can that be? It's almost Christmas! Woo hoo! I'm getting down to the end of my 25 days of sweet treats and good eats. Today I'm sharing one of my very favorite sweet treats - Best Ever Blondies. These are so yummy and chewy and very easy to make. Whip up a batch this ...
On this second official day of winter, it truly feels cold outside! It's 28 degrees and it even snowed again this morning. To help fight of the cold, today I'm sharing a "good eat" with you at the request of my son. This is his all-time favorite soup, and he's been asking me to ...
Today's sweet treat is a fun breakfast treat that you could make for Christmas morning. Any recipe with "monkey" in the title has to be fun, right? And even though we often associate pumpkin recipes with fall, I think it lends itself very well right into the Christmas holiday season. ...
This morning when I got up, it was 61 degrees. When I left school this afternoon, it was 31 degrees. Welcome to December in Missouri! Because the temps have dropped back down into the winter range, I figured it was time for another "good eat" to share with you. It is definitely ...
Since I've already shared a holiday "tea" recipe that doesn't have tea in it, today I thought would share one that does. After having two weeks of super cold temps and lots of snow, this week has been incredibly warm with highs of about 60 each day. But tonight, the temps are dropping ...
Today's sweet treat comes to you via my next-door-neighbor, Joy! :) She and her boys made these fun holiday mints to share with us. Thanks for the goodies, neighbor! Whip up a batch of these for your next holiday party or to give as a gift to your neighbors. Cream Cheese Mint ...
Great for showers, holidays, etc. Ingredients: 4 oz. cream cheese, room temperature exactly 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract 3 cups powdered sugar Directions: Bea the cream cheese with a mixer until smooth, add the extract and some of the powdered sugar and mix until combined ...
Often during the holidays we find ourselves in need of appetizer recipes for holiday parties and celebrations. Today's good eat falls into that category. These tasty appetizers have a great Tex-Mex flavor, and even though they are a bit messy to make, they are yummy to eat. Make ...
These are tasty little appetizers, but are a bit messy to put together. :) Ingredients: 1 lb. ground beef 1 medium onion, minced 3 tablespoons taco seasoning 1/2 cup water 8 slices PepperJack cheese 2 cans (8 oz. each) 8 count crescent rolls 3 plum tomatoes, chopped 2 ...
Many people like to make special breakfast treats at Christmas time, so here's a yummy coffee cake for today's sweet treat. This is not a recipe for those counting calories, but it is definitely a yummy treat when you want to splurge a little. It is especially yummy when it warm ...
Here's a great holiday cookie for the chocolate lover out there. They are rich and chewy and definitely will take care of any chocolate cravings you might have. And, they're made from a cake mix! How fun is that? Enjoy these cookies with your family tonight! Double Chocolate ...
Cookie baking is a standard for many people at holiday time, and I know several people who place Snickerdoodles at the top of their cookie favorites list. I would NOT be one of those people. There's just something about that cookie that I don't like. BUT, these Snickerdoodle Blondies ...
Today is National Hot Chocolate Day! What a perfect day for my fifth, yes, fifth snow day of the year. Unfortunately, this was more of a freezing rain day. Yuck! But, I got to spend the day with Corey since he's back from MU, and that's awesome! So, in honor of National Hot Chocolate ...
Today's recipe comes to you via my friend Juli. She made this bread on one of our snow days and posted a picture of the finished product on Facebook, and I knew I just had to have the recipe. This is the best banana bread you will ever eat. How can it not be when it has a whole ...
I got this recipe from one of my friends at school. This is the most incredible banana bread I've ever eaten. The fact that it is moist is enough to make you try this recipe, but the streusel topping puts it over the top. Yum! Ingredients: 3/4 cup butter, softened 8 oz. cream ...
It's time for another sweet treat. These are a super simple way to get the flavor of chocolate/white chocolate covered pretzels with the hassle of the dipping. They are one of my favorite holiday treats. Make a batch for your family and friends this holiday season. Pretzel H ...
Sometimes when I make this, I use a bag of broccoli and a bag of cauliflower instead of two bags of broccoli. I have to admit, it's not the best broccoli cheddar soup recipe. It has too many carrots for my taste, and the texture is pretty grainy. It would probably be less grainy ...
We ended up getting two more inches of snow last night, so I am home again for snow day number 4. It was a perfect day to make some soup, so today you get a good eat. This shrimp and corn chowder is quick and easy to make, and it is very hearty and tasty. Make a batch for the seafood ...
A simple, hearty soup that's great on a cold, winter day. Ingredients 2 teaspoons unsalted butter 3 stalks celery, thinly sliced 2 bunches scallions, chopped 3 cups frozen diced potatoes 3 cups frozen corn 3 sprigs thyme 2 bay leaves Kosher salt and ...
I took advantage of my snow day today and tried a new cookie recipe, so today you get a sweet treat. These Andes Mint cookies are easy to make and are very tasty. The chewy chocolate cookie topped with tasty mint chocolate is a great combination. Be sure to try these with your ...
These are a very nice chocolate mint cookie, perfect for holiday time. Ingredients: 3/4 cup unsalted butter 1 1/2 cups packed light-brown sugar 2 Tbsp water 1/2 tsp salt 2 cups (12 oz.) semi-sweet chocolate chips 2 1/4 cups + 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour 2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa ...
Looks like tomorrow is going to be snow day number 3, so I'll have some time to do some more cooking. My son comes from college on Tuesday, and he requested that I make ham and beans while he was home for Christmas. So, today's good eat is my favorite ham and beans recipe. It's ...
I always love the wonderful treats that people make at Christmas time, but some of them stress me out when I try to make them myself. One of these items is Turtles. You know, those tasty candies made of pecans, caramel, and covered in chocolate? No matter how hard I try, mine always ...
It's snow day number 2! We probably have 6 or 7 inches of snow on the ground now, and it's still coming down! It is definitely a winter wonderland at my house. I decided to treat myself with a warm coffee cake for breakfast this morning, and thought it would make a great sweet ...
This is one of those "doctored cake mix" recipes that turns out fantastic. This cake is delicious served warm and goes great with a cup of hot chocolate. I guess I should call it a "hot chocolate cake" since I don't drink coffee. ;) Ingredients: 1 yellow cake mix1 box instant ...
Winter weather has arrived in southwest Missouri! We had our first snow day of the year. It started off with some sleet, but then changed over to beautiful snowflakes. We probably have about 3 inches on the ground now, and it's still snowing. I have to admit, I'm kind of hoping ...
We are predicted to get some nasty ice and snow in southwest Missouri starting tomorrow. Winter weather in our area can be very diverse. For example, today's high was 68 degrees and the low tonight is supposed to be 22! As the temperatures drop and my hopes for a snow day increase, ...
With extremely cold temperatures and frozen precipitation predicted for later in the week, I thought I would share a "good eat" today. Cold days always make me crave soups and stews. My Cowboy Stew recipe is a wonderful, hearty meal that warms you up and fills you up on blustery ...
Today is one of those days that I just need chocolate, and lots of it! So, I'm going to share another sweet treat with you. My family's favorite cake is chocolate chip pound cake. It's so yummy and moist that it has no need for frosting (which is good for me, because I'm not a ...
Since I haven't been great about posting my menus lately (truthfully, they just aren't that exciting since there are just two of us at home), I thought I would post some of my favorite holiday time recipes. My goal will be to highlight one recipe each day in December until Christmas. Today, ...
Now that we are empty nesters, I've noticed that we've changed our eating habits a bit. I will make a meal, and we will eat that same thing for a couple of days. Both of us love leftovers, so it never bothers us, and it makes it easier to eat at home instead of eating out when ...
A yummy, rich treat! Ingredients: For the Chocolate Chip Cookie Layer: 3/4 cup butter, melted and cooled slightly 1 cup packed light brown sugar 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1 large egg 1 large egg yolk 2 tsp vanilla extract 2 1/8 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 ...
This is a very yummy chicken and rice soup. It makes a huge pot, so I freeze individual portions for my lunches. Ingredients: 1 tbsp butter 1 small onion, diced 1 tbsp flour 6 cups less-sodium chicken broth 3 cups water 2/3 cup chopped carrots 3 garlic cloves 2 celery ...
It was another great fall weekend, and it was made even better by the fact that Corey came for a visit. We were supposed to go to MU to visit him for parents weekend, but it actually worked out better for all for him to come home. We did our yearly apple pie baking and delivered ...
What a wonderful fall weekend! Cooler temperatures finally reached the Ozarks, and the weekend was perfect - lows in the 50s and highs in the mid 70s. Eric and I rode the motorcycle about 600 miles this weekend and saw some amazing sights. This week the cooler temperatures are ...
Yes, I realize I haven't a posted a menu plan since my son left for college mid-August. I've been adjusting to life as an empty-nester. ;) The hubby and I have been saving for our "fun vehicle" for a while now, not really knowing what we wanted - a camper, a jeep, etc. We just ...
