<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am slightly obsessed with salted caramel. Homemade of course. I can't get enough of it lately. Last weekend I was trying to come up with something new to make for dessert when we had the grand-kids overnight. I spotted the salted caramel sauce I had in the freezer and these bars came to mind. I had the 4 year old take a lick of the caramel sauce and she said she didn't like it. Uh oh. But, I decided to forge ahead in hopes she'd like the finished product. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I think my son said it best when he said "Mom, these are ridiculously, insanely delicious!" They really are. They are decadent, rich and filling - so I would suggest cutting into smaller size servings. The four year old took a bite and said "Mmmm, these are good. I guess I do like caramel!" Then she asked for seconds, and while eating that she said "Grammy can we take some of these home tomorrow?" I guess she <i>really does </i>like caramel after all! As you can see, these were a hit in my house. </span>☺<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Caramel Sauce (<a href="http://littlebcooks.blogspot.com/2012/04/caramel-sauce.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Click here for recipe</b></span></a>) + 1 tsp salt, added after removed from heat, while it's cooling</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 cup butter, softened</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3/4 cup powdered sugar</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1/2 sugar</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 tbsp vanilla</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2 cups flour</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Make the caramel sauce and set aside. Preheat oven to 325, line an 8 x 8 baking dish with aluminum foil and spray it with cooking spray.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In a large bowl cream the butter and both sugars together. Stir in the vanilla. Add the flour and mix it until a soft dough forms. Press half of the dough into the bottom of the baking dish and cook for 15 minutes. Place the other half of the dough in the refrigerator while it's cooking. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Remove from oven and pour about 1 cup of the caramel sauce into the baking dish on top of the partially cooked dough. Take the remaining dough out of the refrigerator and crumble it over the top of the caramel. Place the baking dish back into the oven and cook for 30 minutes, or until top is firm. Cool completely before cutting. I stored mine in the fridge, but you don't have to.</span>Little Bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08137217370978557903noreply@blogger.com49tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2552767360890638977.post-61866836681493630132014-05-24T09:36:00.000-04:002014-05-24T09:38:32.965-04:00Lemon Meringue Pie<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Happy Memorial Day weekend everyone! Hope you will have nice weather and get to enjoy some good times with family and friends. We started our weekend with two of the grandkids spending the night, which is always a delight. I just love cooking for company, even the little ones!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I actually made this lemon meringue pie for Easter as a treat for my husband and son. They both have mentioned to me on several occasions how much they like it, but I politely ignored them for a long time. For me, lemon meringue pie has never been my thing, and I've certainly never made it before. However, I like to challenge myself, so I decided Easter was the perfect time to give it a try for my two most favorite boys. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have to admit that I was very surprised at how much I actually liked this pie....I really didn't think I would, but it was absolutely delicious! Such a light and refreshing dessert - what more could you ask for!?! I am sold on this pie and will definitely be making it again. What a nice surprise.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you don't like Thai food or peanuts, this is not the salad for you! I happen to enjoy both. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As much as I love regular salad for lunch, having it every day can get a little mundane. So once in a while I like to switch things up a little. This is what I came up with recently when I found myself in a lunchtime salad rut. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Not only is this supper tasty, but it's also great for those looking for a meatless lunch/dinner option. Veggies + protein + tons of flavor = perfect meal! </span><br />

<u><b><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Thai Veggie Salad</span></b></u><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">3 carrot, shredded</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1/2 cucumber, cut into strips</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1 red pepper, thinly sliced</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2 cups red cabbage, shredded</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2 cups sugar snap peas</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2 bunches scallions, sliced</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">3/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2/3 cups peanuts, chopped</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><u>Dressing</u>:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1 tbsp Sriracha sauce</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1/3 cup peanut butter or almond butter </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">3 cloves of garlic, or 3 tsp minced</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1" piece fresh ginger, minced </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1 tbsp sesame oil</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1/2 cup rice-wine vinegar</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Combine all the salad ingredients in a large bowl. Add the dressing ingredients to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until blended (you don't have to use a food processor, you can whisk together by hand but you'll need to mince the garlic and ginger first). Add the dressing to the salad and stir well to combine. Makes about 4 servings.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I will admit that I am pretty much a cake mix food snob. I just don't use them. I much prefer to make cakes from scratch, especially icing/frosting, because the flavor is just so much better. The icing/frosting you buy in those containers at the store actually taste like plastic to me, yuck! However, I know not everyone has the time or ability to make a cake and icing from scratch, so I'm not judging. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Over the years I've come across several recipes for "dump cakes". You've seen them too right? The gist of it is that you combine a dry cake mix with some cooked fruit, and the result is sort of like a fruit buckle. While my son was on spring break last month I wanted to make something for him to munch on during the week while I was at work. However, I didn't have much time, so that's when the light bulb went off - make a dump cake. Perfect opportunity to see if they were any good, and if nothing else it would still give him something to snack on.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I chose to use a pineapple upside down cake mix (without the pineapple part). I wanted to use a coffee cake mix but I couldn't find one at my grocery store. Don't they sell those? Anyway, I thought this turned out pretty good. I still prefer homemade, but this was good and definitely easy. If you've never made a dump cake before, I would recommend giving it a try. With all the cake mixes out there you can definitely get creative!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Once in a while my lovely husband will suggest I make something in particular. Over the years he has mentioned how much he loved his mother's stuffed cabbage rolls, and I would make a mental note to try making them sometime in the future but would eventually forget about it. I had never even tried a stuffed cabbage roll, so the prospect of making something I've never actually tasted before is a little daunting. I mean, if you've never tried it how are you supposed to know what it should taste like? I will also admit that stuffed cabbage rolls seemed like an outdated type of recipe...I mean, you don't exactly see it on menus at restaurants. It just seems like one of those recipes people just don't make much anymore. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">A few weeks ago, out of the blue my husband said "Let's make stuffed cabbage rolls." So I said OK, but explained my thought process on the subject, and he said "Don't worry, we'll do it together. I know how they are supposed to look and how they should taste, so between the two of us we'll figure it out." He enjoys cooking, but for the most part leaves it to me. However, I really do enjoy the times we cook together. We work well together in the kitchen, and so making these cabbage rolls was actually fun for both of us.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">They turned out to be just fabulously delicious. I was quite surprised by how much I liked them. I can't believe I've spent all these years missing out on such a yummy healthy meal! No longer do I feel like this is an outdated dish. In fact, it needs to make a comeback! Try these people. I'm positive you won't be disappointed. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b><u>Stuffed Cabbage Rolls</u></b> - makes 10 rolls, or 5 servings</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1 1/4 lb ground beef</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1 egg</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1 tsp salt</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1/2 tsp pepper</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1/4 cup + 1 tbsp onion, diced </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">3/4 cup rice, cooked</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1 cup tomato soup</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">10 large cabbage leaves</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">14-15oz can crushed tomatoes</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1/4 cup red wine</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2 tsp garlic, chopped</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1 tsp sugar</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2 tsp dried parsley</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Olive oil</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Drizzle about a tbsp of olive oil into a small saucepan, and heat on medium-low. Add the chopped garlic and saute for 2 minutes. Add the can of crushed tomatoes, wine, sugar and parsley and stir well to combine. Simmer sauce for about 15 minutes, then remove from heat and stir in cup of tomato soup and set aside to cool a little. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Fill a large pot with water, add 1 tbsp of salt and bring to a boil. Add the cabbage and boil for about 4 minutes. Remove cabbage, rinse in cold water and set aside. Preheat oven to 350. Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with cooking spray, and put about 1/2 cup of sauce into bottom of dish and spread around evenly.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In a large bowl add your beef, cooked rice, egg, onion, salt & pepper and 1/4 cup of the sauce mixture. Mix everything together gently, and divide into 10 equal parts (you don't have to actually do this physically, but just kind of divide it up in the bowl so you have a general idea of how much to put in each roll). Lay one cabbage leave flat and add 1/10 of the meat mixture to the center of the leaf. Fold the two end sides up, then roll it up completely (like you would a burrito) and place in a 13 x 9 baking dish, seam side down. Repeat until meat mixture is used up - it should make 10 rolls. Pour remaining sauce all over the top, and cover the pan with tin foil. Place in preheated oven and cook for about an hour, or until meat is cooked through. </span>Little Bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08137217370978557903noreply@blogger.com17tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2552767360890638977.post-7049700423455852112014-05-01T06:10:00.000-04:002014-05-01T06:13:59.084-04:00Asian Pork Tacos<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Hello and happy May everyone! My son-in-law got my computer up and running - yay!!!! You don't realize how much you rely on technology until you don't have it anymore. Although, other than not being able to work on this blog, I didn't really miss it too much. In fact, it was kinda of nice to not be so "connected". I encourage all of you to take a break once in a while.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In the meantime, training our new puppy has taken up all of my spare time. I decided last night that in some ways having a puppy is actually harder to deal with than having a baby! She is terrorizing my cats, which is driving them <i>and</i> me crazy. Just when we think she has got the potty training thing down, oops, an accident! However, in other ways she is doing really well and she's very smart. Either way, she's the cutest thing ever, so I can forgive the constant chewing on everything that exists in the house....for now.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Anyway, on to food. I made this dish a few weeks ago. Since baseball started last month for my son, I've had to try to come up with quick and easy meals. Baseball is 6 days a week, so between that and this puppy, finding the time to cook dinner during the week has been difficult. Where we live there aren't too many fast food options, which is fine with me because I avoid those places as much as possible anyway. Besides, eating out that often can get expensive. So this is one dish I came up with - gotta love the crock-pot! Plus I got to eat the leftovers for lunch for a couple of days, which was a nice added bonus. Delish!</span><br />

I am back from vacation, and settled back into work mode. The other day I was excited to get back to work on posts for this blog. However, as luck would have it, my computer has died! So unfortunately, at this point in time, I am not sure when you will see another post from me. This weekend I plan to take my computer somewhere to see if it can be fixed. If it can be fixed, I have no idea how long it will take. If it can not be fixed, I am not sure when I will get a new one, but I'm guessing it may have to wait a couple of months before that happens. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am trying very hard to not get stressed out about this. There have been so many other things that have gone wrong in the last week, so I am on stress overload! Today I am going to forget about the 2 feet of snow we got yesterday, I'm not going to worry about the fact that our furnace continues to have problems and I am going to close my eyes and try to put myself back in Antigua. Warm weather, beautiful beaches and no worries. That's where I am today...in my head anyway! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thanks for your patience, and I hope to be back up and running sooner rather than later. In the meantime, here is the latest picture of our baby girl that will hopefully be arriving next week. We are so excited to welcome her to the family and shower her with love ☺.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">For the past two months I have been on a low carb kick, along with my gluten free diet. This can become challenging when it comes to finding low carb side dishes. There are times when you just want mashed potatoes!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So this is what I came up with to satisfy my mashed potato craving. Delicious and satisfying - I really felt like I was eating mashed potatoes. Can't get much better than that! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><u><b>Faux Garlic & Chive Mashed Potatoes</b></u></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1 medium head of cauliflower</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2 cups vegetable broth</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1/4 cup Parmesan cheese </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1 tsp garlic, chopped</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1 tbsp chives, chopped</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1/4 tsp salt</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1/8 tsp pepper</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Pour the broth into a saucepan and bring to boil. Rinse and cut cauliflower into pieces then add to the boiling broth and cook for about 6-8 minutes, or until soft. Drain and pat dry with paper towels (you want it as dry as you can get it), but do not let it cool. Place cauliflower in the bowl of a food processor and add the remaining ingredients. Puree until nice and smooth and it resembles the look of mashed potatoes. Makes about 4 servings.</span>Little Bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08137217370978557903noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2552767360890638977.post-47983026867181303782014-02-18T10:31:00.000-05:002014-02-19T06:26:24.070-05:00Penny Cluse Cafe, Burlington VT<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Man, the last couple of weeks have been crazy around my house! Problems with our furnace, major issues with my car, getting ready for vacation, anniversary/birthdays/holidays....you name it and it seems we've been hit with it! I feel like I haven't had a second to breathe, much less work on my blog! So, I decided to do a post on one of my favorite places in the world to have breakfast - Penny Cluse Cafe in Burlington, VT.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I say it's one of my favorite places for <i>breakfast</i> simply because that's the only meal I've gone there for, but I'm sure lunch would be just as fabulous! Plenny Cluse was featured in a 2010 edition of the Food Network Magazine for the best place for breakfast in all of Vermont. Specifically noted was their biscuits smothered in herb gravy. I have to tell you - I am not a biscuits & gravy person when it comes to breakfast food, however Penny Cluse's herb gravy is <u><b>TO DIE FOR</b></u>! I would order this for breakfast just so I can eat their amazing gravy! I hope to one day be able to replicate that gravy. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This past weekend was my birthday, so my husband took me to Penny Cluse for a celebratory birthday breakfast. My most favorite thing in the world to eat for breakfast is banana pancakes. It is the only type of pancake I will eat....no other is worth eating in my book. Needless to say, I think I have banana pancakes maybe once a year so it is a special treat for me! Penny Cluse happens to be the only place I know of that makes them the way I like them, so it's a great excuse to make the trip out there (below is a picture of a batch of banana pancakes I made - <a href="http://littlebcooks.blogspot.com/2013/05/banana-pancakes-with-nutmeg-syrup.html" target="_blank">click here for my recipe</a>). </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Breakfast at Penny Cluse was a wonderful start to my birthday! If you are ever in Burlington VT, I highly recommend going to this amazing cafe - I promise you will not regret it! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In the next few weeks I have a couple of fun things to look forward to - thank God because I could use a break! First off is vacation in Antigua with my amazing husband to celebrate our 10th anniversary. Then shortly after that we will be welcoming a new puppy to our family - a female charcoal lab. We haven't decided on a name yet, but here is a picture of her:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">She is actually the color of charcoal/gray (this picture doesn't do her coloring justice & the "brown" label simply means the color of her collar so they can tell them apart). We are very excited to bring her home in a few weeks! After we settle in with her, I hope to get back to more regular blog posts, so stayed tuned!</span> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Till then - I will be thinking of you all as I bask in the Caribbean sun! ☺</span>Little Bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08137217370978557903noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2552767360890638977.post-75210646005129353722014-02-09T12:26:00.000-05:002014-02-09T18:36:38.860-05:00Mexican Brownie Sundaes<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I decided to challenge myself by entering a recipe contest (you can click on this link to see the contest </span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/FoodieBlogroll/app_451684954848385" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/FoodieBlogroll/app_451684954848385</a>). They gave us three ingredients that had to be in the recipe - chocolate, cinnamon and strawberries. I am not a big fan of chocolate, but who can resist a thick gooey brownie with some vanilla ice cream? Even I love the combination, and it's even better with a drizzle of caramel sauce. These were the thoughts going through my head as I pondered what to make. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I decided to go with a variation of it by making Mexican brownies (brownies with cinnamon in them) and using them in a sundae with vanilla ice cream and strawberries. It seemed like a great idea in my head, so I went with it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I actually really enjoyed this dessert. Everyone in my house did actually, which surprised me a little! People in my house tend to prefer sticking to original recipes, so I was thinking they may not like the brownies with cinnamon in them. They did however, and they loved this sundae. Yay! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><u><b>Mexican Brownies</b></u></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2 sticks of butter</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">4 oz of unsweetened chocolate</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2 cups sugar</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2 eggs</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2 tsp vanilla</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1 cup flour</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1 tbsp cinnamon</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Preheat oven to 325. Line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper, grease it well with butter or cooking spray and set aside.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Melt the butter in chocolate in a medium sized saucepan over low heat, stirring continuously. Remove pan from heat and stir in the sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla and whisk to combine until nice and smooth. Add the flour and cinnamon, and stir until just combined. Pour into baking dish and bake for about an hour, or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean. Allow the brownies to cool for at least an hour before cutting.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">To assemble the sundaes: Put about 1 1/2 cups of sliced strawberries in a bowl and add about 2 tsp of sugar, then mash them together until they become mushy and juicy (feel free to add more sugar if you like them sweeter). Take one brownie and crumble it up in the bottom of a bowl, top with some vanilla ice cream, then add some of the mashed strawberries, and then crumble some more brownies on top.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Pulled pork is one of my favorite things to cook for a crowd, especially in the summer for some reason. I love that it can feed so many people, yet is so easy to cook. It was this thought that led me to try my hand at cooking a beef brisket recently. I wanted to make something that I could use for several different meals, and since I've never made it before, I was excited to give it a try.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This worked out really well, and I was able to use the meat for several different dishes. First, I served it over mashed potatoes with a side of veggies, next I added some BBQ sauce to it and made sandwiches, and lastly I made quesadillas with it. Everything turned out delicious, AND I had some left over that I put in the freezer for a later date. All in all, cooking this brisket was a huge success. With a little planning and a little time, this brisket went a long way in providing several meals for us. I've already thought of a few more uses for it, so I will definitely be making this again!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">6 lbs beef brisket</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1/2 cup red wine</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2 cans beef broth</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1 cup water</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1/2 cup Tamari sauce (can substitute with soy sauce)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1 tbsp garlic, chopped </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Juice from 1/2 of a lemon</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Add the wine, broth, water, Tamari, garlic and lemon in a large roasting pan and stir to combine. Lay the beef brisket, fat side up, into the pan and cover with foil. Place in the refrigerator and let it set for 24 hours. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Preheat oven at 325 and cook brisket for about 4 hrs, or until it comes apart easily when pierced with a fork. Remove from pan and either cut into slices, or shred with a fork (or some of both). This will yield about 8-12 servings, depending on if you slice or shred it, and depending on your serving sizes (definitely at least 6 large servings though).</span>Little Bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08137217370978557903noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2552767360890638977.post-7915448178156436832014-01-26T09:35:00.005-05:002014-01-26T20:10:49.687-05:00Easy Creamy Chicken<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We are all looking for quick and easy weeknight meals, right? I am always finding it difficult to come up with new ideas for chicken, but to have a quick chicken dinner is ideal. This one fits the bill - easy, quick and best of all it's delicious! I served it with a side salad, but you could put this over some pasta, or pair it with a baked potato and veggies. Whatever you serve it with, just try it...you will not be disappointed!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2 large chicken breasts, each cut in half to make 4 pieces</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1 cup heavy cream </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1 1/2 tsp garlic powder </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1 tsp chili powder</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1 tsp onion powder</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1 tsp Italian seasoning (can substitute parsley - 1 tsp dried or 1 tbsp fresh chopped) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1/2 tsp salt</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">couple dashes of cayenne pepper (this is really to taste - if you like it spicy, add more)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2 tbsp butter</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Combine the garlic powder, chili powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt and cayenne pepper in a small bowl and mix to combine. Coat all sides of the chicken with the seasoning mix. Melt one tbsp of butter in a large skillet on medium-high heat. Once butter is melted and pan is hot, place your chicken in the pan. Cook for about 5 minutes, then turn the chicken over and cook another five minutes, or until juices run clear and they are cooked through. Add the remaining tbsp of butter and the heavy cream, mixing to combine. Turn heat to medium-low and let the chicken simmer until the sauce has thickened, about 10 minutes. Serves 3-4, depending on how large the chicken breasts are. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We had a slumber party last night with three of the grand-kids! I love when they come over, mostly because I just love them, but also because it gives me a chance to make something yummy. Making treats for them gives me great pleasure!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This time I decided to try something new. I received the Smitten Kitchen cookbook about a year ago, but haven't tried much from it. I pulled it out the other day and was thumbing through it when I came across this recipe for gooey cinnamon squares. Hmmmm, not only did they look and sound yummy, but it seemed like something the kids would like also. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">These babies are very interesting. They taste like a snicker doodle, but the gooey factor makes it seem like they are under-cooked when really they aren't. It takes a couple of bites before you get past feeling like they need to be cooked more.....and then they become addicting. And more delicious with each bite. Everyone loved these, so I guess this one is a keeper. Thank you Smitten Kitchen for a super yummy, and very interesting dessert!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season with your loved ones. I first want to apologize for the lack of posts lately. I am currently taking a couple of classes and it seems to be dominating most of my free time, but I am hoping to get back to posting more often in the next month or two. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If you are like me, or like many people out there, the beginning of a new year means getting back on track with eating or starting a new diet, etc. I always give in to the holiday temptations, so January typically is the time I get back to eating healthy. A few months ago I kept seeing pictures of pizza made with a cauliflower crust on Pinterest and it definitely intrigued me. Could it really be possible to make a pizza crust with cauliflower and it would not only taste good, but it would actually hold together? I read through a couple of recipes to see how it was done, then I filed it away in my brain to try at a later date.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I finally had a little time the other day, and I knew right away that this was what I wanted to cook up. I love pizza, so now that I'm back to eating healthy it seems all I can think about is eating things I am not supposed to...like pizza! I figured if this worked out, it would be a nice treat for when I am feeling like I want to give into cravings. I was astonished at how well this turned out - great flavor, but best of all was that it actually held together nicely and I could pick up a piece without it crumbling or falling apart! AMAZING! Who ever came up with this idea is a genius! I am so excited and will DEFINITELY be making this again ☺</span><br />

Pour into microwave safe bowl and microwave for 3 minutes. Place a cloth kitchen towel on the counter and pour & spread the cooked cauliflower bits onto the towel and let cool a couple of minutes. When cool enough to handle, gather the cauliflower into the middle of the towel, then fold the towel up (like a tootsie roll wrapper). You want to squeeze as much liquid as possible out of the towel - so you really want to wring the heck out of it for a considerable amount of time (like 5 minutes or until no more drops of water are visible).</span><br />

Stir well to combine. Add the egg and stir to incorporate it into the mixture. Take a piece of tin foil and spray it well with cooking spray. Dump the cauliflower mixture onto the tin foil and shape it into a ball of dough, then spread it out in whatever shape you want for your pizza (square or round) until it's about 1/4" thick. Take the tin foil with your cauliflower crust on it and place it in the oven onto the already hot pan or pizza stone. Cook for about 10 minutes or until golden brown and the edges start looking crispy. Remove the tin foil with the cauliflower crust from the oven and add your toppings - sauce, cheese and whatever toppings you like (I did caramelized onions & mushrooms). Place pizza back into oven for another 6-8 minutes, or until cheese is melted and beginning to brown. Remove and let cool for 2 minutes before slicing. </span>Little Bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08137217370978557903noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2552767360890638977.post-15272509111139595542013-12-26T08:30:00.001-05:002013-12-26T08:31:53.947-05:00Nanaimo Bars<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Every now and then my sister will send me a bunch of recipes and ask me to make them. The problem for me is that she doesn't live in the same state as me, and since I don't want to get stuck with a bunch of goodies hanging around, I don't ever make anything she sends me. If she lived nearby, and I could deliver the goodies to her, then I would totally make whatever she asks me to. In addition to her not living nearby, we also do not have the same tastes. For instance, she is a chocolate fanatic (to the point where she needs to have it everyday)....while I on the other hand am not big on chocolate. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Since my husband and son were going to be stopping by my sister's this week, I knew it would be the perfect time to make something for her. So I sent her an email and offered to make a treat of her choice, and these Nanaimo Bars is what she ended up choosing. Not only have I never eaten these before, I have never made them before either. That's OK though, I love trying new recipes. I read over the recipe a few times and thought it sounded like it was going to be pretty sweet because it seemed like a lot of sugar in the middle layer. So I looked at several other recipes online for Nanaimo Bars, and sure enough, they all had the same amount of sugar. Relieved that there wasn't a typo in the recipe she gave me, I set out to make it. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This recipe is pretty easy to put together. However, I was correct, and it is a pretty sweet treat! But I'm the girl who picks most of the frosting off her cake, so for me, this dessert was a bit on the "too sweet" side. My son tried it though and said he liked it, so I guess it's just me. Hopefully my sister will enjoy it! For all you sweet treat lovers out there, give this one a try - it might be right up your alley! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">My mother recently gave me this recipe that she got from one of her coworkers. I don't think I've ever made sticky buns. I like them and all, it's just that I prefer cinnamon rolls so that's what I usually make. However, since Christmas is just around the corner, I thought I'd give this one a try. Cinnamon rolls and sticky buns remind me of Christmas for some reason.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">These rolls are delicious! I'm thrilled to be able to add this to my arsenal of recipes. I omitted a few ingredients just because of personal preferences and I altered the recipe so that most of the work can be done the night before, and they turned out amazing. Filling, but oh so yummy! Mom - tell your coworker that we loved this recipe please. I promise next time you visit to make these for you....I think you'll love them too!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1/3 cup rum</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1 1/2 cups pecan halves</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Pour warm milk into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook. Stir in the yeast and 1/2 cup brown sugar and let it stand for 5 minutes. Add 2 cups of flour, 1 stick of softened butter, 2 eggs, 1 tbsp cinnamon and 1 tsp salt and turn mixer on med-low to mix it all together. Gradually add 3 more cups of flour and let the mixer combine it all together for 5-10 minutes. If it's not forming a ball of dough add the last 1/2 cup flour a little at a time until the dough doesn't stick to the sides. Dough should form into a nice elastic smooth ball. Spray a large bowl with cooking spray, then add the dough to the bowl turning once to coat. Place plastic wrap, or a towel over the bowl and put bowl in a warm place to let rise for 1 hour (I stuck mine in a slightly warm oven. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">For the filling: In the bowl of a food processor, add 3 tbsp brown sugar, 3 tbsp regular sugar, 2 tsp cinnamon and 1 cup chopped pecans. Pulse to combine then set aside. After the dough has risen to double it's original size, punch it down and pour it onto a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough out into a rectangle shape, about 1/3" thick. Sprinkle the filling evenly over the dough. Roll the dough, starting at one long edge, towards the other edge and pinch it together. Spray a pan large enough to fit all the rolls with cooking spray (doesn't matter what kind of pan because you will be transferring them to a 13x9 baking dish the next morning). Slice the log of rolled dough into about 1" thick slices - you should get about 12-14 rolls. Place into pan, cover and let rise another hour. After an hour, place them into the fridge to set overnight.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In the morning, about an hour & half before you want to eat, take the rolls out, and let them set on the counter for 30-60 minutes. Preheat oven to 350. To make the sticky topping: melt the 2 sticks of butter on low heat, then add 1 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup honey and rum, whisking to combine really well. Stir in the pecan halves, then pour the mixture into a 13x9 baking dish. Place rolls into the baking dish on top of the sticky topping, then place baking dish in oven and bake for about 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let it set for 10 minutes. Invert the buns onto a large platter and serve immediately. These are best nice and hot, but really they are fabulous at room temp as well! </span>Little Bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08137217370978557903noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2552767360890638977.post-68778436896541900012013-12-15T12:08:00.001-05:002013-12-15T12:11:21.851-05:00Chewy Sugar Cookies<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Sugar Cookies...part 2. If you read the post on Soft Sugar Cookies, then you know sugar cookies are my least favorite cookie. However, since several of my family members love them, I decided to try to find a recipe that I too will enjoy. Soft, chewy or a combination of the two are my favorite textures for cookies, so that's what I set out to achieve...the perfect sugar cookie. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">While I really liked the soft sugar cookies, I think I like this chewy version even better from www.addapinch.com. Not only did I like the texture, but the flavor was really good as well. This recipe may be "THE one"....</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I recently had a few very over-ripe bananas, but I didn't want to make banana bread. I scoured the internet for ideas, looking for something I've never made before. However, I didn't come across anything I found appealing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So back to banana bread I thought. Then my mind started going and I tried to think of something different I could do with banana bread. What's good with bananas? Chocolate...but I make banana bread or muffins with chocolate chips in it all the time. I started looking through my baking cabinet and came across toffee bits. Mmmm, now that sounded yummy....banana and toffee! That's how I came up with this recipe, and boy was it delicious! Perfect combination. The only thing I didn't like was that the toffee chips seemed to prevent the bread from "rising" on top. But honestly, even though it's not visually as appealing, it didn't matter because the taste was amazing. This is a nice combination of flavors...and hey, it's something different!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Thanksgiving is over and I'm still feeling full! Time to get back on track with some healthy eating. I've always wanted to try spaghetti squash, but oddly I can never find it at the grocery store I normally shop at. However, I was recently shopping at a different store and wouldn't you know...they had it! I knew when I saw them it was my chance to give it a try. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The possibilities with spaghetti squash are endless, so I was unsure what to do. However, since I am always trying to find vegetarian lunch options I knew that was the route I'd be headed in. I decided on mixing it with pesto, which is one of my favorite "sauces". I wanted to add more protein to the dish though, so I threw in some white beans. Not only was this dish very tasty, it was filling and very satisfying. I am excited to try other things with spaghetti squash in the future now. Here's what I did:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><u><b>Spaghetti Squash w/ Pesto & Beans</b></u></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1 spaghetti squash, cut in half lengthwise</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2-4 tbsp basil pesto - you can buy, or <a href="http://littlebcooks.blogspot.com/2012/07/basil-pesto.html" target="_blank">click here</a> for my recipe</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1/2 can white beans, rinsed & drained - I used cannellini beans</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Salt & Pepper to taste </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Preheat oven to 375. After you cut the squash in half lengthwise, scoop out the seeds and strings in the middle of each half. Place face down on cookie sheet and cook in oven anywhere from 30-45 minutes - cook time will depend on how large your squash is. You want it to be tender but not mushy. Remove from oven and cool for about 15 minutes. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Take a fork and "shred" the squash - it should look like thin noodles. Once this is all done, place the squash in a bowl and add your pesto and beans and stir well to combine. Sprinkle salt & pepper to taste. Best served warm. My squash had about 3 servings of squash, so I used about a tbsp of pesto per serving. </span>Little Bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08137217370978557903noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2552767360890638977.post-82226125073978884522013-12-01T12:30:00.000-05:002013-12-01T12:32:39.944-05:00Vamped Up Pumpkin Pie<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Happy first day of December! Hope you all had an amazing Thanksgiving with your loved ones. Ours was special this year because all the kids and grandkids came, which doesn't happen very often! So we were very thankful to be able to spend a few hours with everyone gathered together eating, drinking and laughing. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I don't normally post something that is related to a specific holiday <i>after</i> it's gone by, however, this time I needed to make an exception. First I have to disclose that I think pumpkin pie, while good, is boring so I just never make it. This year however, when discussing the Thanksgiving day menu with my husband and son, they both voted for pumpkin pie as one of the desserts. I was good with that, but then I came across Bobby Flay's pumpkin pie "throwdown" recipe and I knew I wanted to make his version for Thanksgiving instead of the traditional pie. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I always get a little nervous making something I've never made before on the day we are having company, but I've made pumpkin pie many times before so I wasn't too worried about it. Turns out, this was the best pumpkin pie I've ever had - nice job Bobby Flay! I do believe the graham cracker crust gives this pie the extra "wow factor" that I was looking for. In the future, this will be the recipe I will use every time. So people, print this recipe, bookmark it, Pin it, or whatever but make this pie for Thanksgiving next year! Although, pumpkin pie doesn't have to only make an appearance on Thanksgiving - so make it when ever, but just make it. I promise you will love this pie ♥</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b><u>Pumpkin Pie</u></b> (<i>slightly adapted from Bobby Flay</i>) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><i>Crust</i>:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">6 tbsp butter, melted</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1/4 cup sugar</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1/2 tsp cinnamon</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1/8 tsp nutmeg </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Filling:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2 whole eggs</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2 egg yolks </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1/4 cup brown sugar</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1/4 cup granulated sugar</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">3 tbsp butter, melted</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1 1/2 cups heavy cream</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1 1/4 tsp cinnamon</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1 tsp ground ginger</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1/2 tsp nutmeg</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1/4 tsp cloves</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1/2 tsp salt</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1 tsp vanilla</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Seeds from 1/2 vanilla bean, split & scraped </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><i>Crust</i>: Preheat oven to 350. Place all the ingredients for the crust in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until combined (should look like wet sand). Spread into a 9 inch pie plate, and using your finger tips firmly press it along the bottom and up the sides of the dish. Cook until light brown, about 12-15 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely before adding the filling.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><i>Filling</i>: Preheat oven to 275. In a large bowl whisk together the eggs, yolks and the sugars. Add the butter, pumpkin, cream, spices, salt, vanilla and vanilla bean seeds and whisk to combine. Strain the mixture into a a bowl, then pour into the the pie plate with your cooked & cooled crust. Bake until almost set, about 1 1/2 hrs. Remove from oven and cool to room temperature. Refrigerate until serving. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><i>*NOTE:</i> Bobby Flay tops his pie with bourbon-maple whipped cream. While that sounds delicious and probably is the perfect touch for this pie, there was too much going on at my house to deal with making the whipped cream so I skipped it.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I like sweets as much as the next person, however fudge has never been a favorite of mine. I find it to be a little too sweet, but that's just me. My husband and son LOVE fudge, so for that reason I've always wanted to give making it a try. So when I saw a few pictures on Pinterest for Snickers Fudge I remembered that I had a recipe for it somewhere, and I knew I needed to make it. It looked really good, and Snickers is one of my favorite candy bars, so I was betting that I was going to like this fudge.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As it turns out I did like this fudge....maybe a little too much - I can't keep out of it! Although I have to say, I'm not sure this is very fudge-like, but regardless, this stuff is delicious! I'm hoping the little ones in our family will like it too. I plan to put some out on Thanksgiving, so we'll see what everyone else thinks of it then. In our house though, this stuff is a big hit. This recipe is a keeper for sure! (The recipe I had didn't say where/who it was from, but from what I've seen on Pinterest it is very similar to all the other recipes out there. Whoever invented this stuff is a genius!) </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Oh cookies...how I love you so! I don't think I've tasted a cookie that I didn't like. While crispy cookies are not my favorite, I still like them and will willingly eat them. Let's face it - I would eat cookies for breakfast, lunch and dinner if it wouldn't cause me to gain a single pound. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The holiday season is the time of year when I tend to experiment with cookie recipes. There are 5 little ones in our family, and I am finding that while they love their sweets they don't necessarily like the same types of sweets that us adults gravitate towards. Like pie for example - adults seem to love it, kids not so much. They also seem to have plainer tastes. For example - most love chocolate chip cookies, but would most likely shy away from oatmeal raisin or an odd variety of cookie like pecan sandies. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">All of these realizations have led me down the path to plain and simple sugar cookies. Finding the perfect recipe for sugar cookies has never been on my "to do list" because...well, they are kinda bland and just not my favorite. However, since it's not all about me, I've decided to either find or develop the perfect sugar cookie. "Perfect" is all relative though, depending on your personal preferences when it comes to cookie perfection. For me "perfect" means either soft or chewy or both, along with tasting yummy of course. Here is the first recipe I decided was worth giving a try (and I've looked over tons of them at this point). I thought these turned out pretty darn good - nice and soft sugar cookie bliss. On a scale of 1-5 (5 being the best) I'd give these a 4. If they had just a touch of chewiness they would be perfect in my book. Looks like another sugar cookie post will be in my future.....</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Both my husband and son are "meat & potatoes" kind of guys. My husband tends to like things simple when it comes to potatoes (butter, salt & pepper), but my son likes cheese and sour cream and all those goodies. One thing they have in common when it comes to potatoes is that they both love potato gratin and scalloped potatoes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Since I do most of the cooking in this family, there are times when you want to cook things your family loves, but sometimes it's just too time consuming. When I came across this recipe I thought it sounded much easier to throw together than my usual "go to" recipe for potato gratin (<a href="http://littlebcooks.blogspot.com/2012/04/individual-potato-gratins.html" target="_blank">click here for recipe</a>). So, I knew I needed to give it a try. Turns out, this was not only easy, it was super delicious! I really liked these potatoes, and I also like that you can alter it to determine the end result - cook them a little less time for cheesier potatoes or a little longer for crispier potatoes. This recipe is a keeper!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1/2 tsp dried thyme</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Salt & Pepper to taste</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2 lbs potatoes, peeled & cut into 1" cubes</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1/4 cup grate Parmesan cheese</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Preheat oven to 375, and melt butter in a large cast iron skillet (or any type of skillet that can go directly into the oven to finish cooking) on medium heat. Add the onion and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 2 minutes. Whisk in the cream and chicken stock until smooth. Add the Gruyere and thyme, and stir until cheese has melted. Season with salt & pepper to taste. Add the potatoes and stir to coat the evenly. Put a lid on the skillet and continue to cook for 15 minutes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Remove the lid and sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly over top. Place skillet into the oven and bake uncovered until the top in golden brown and it's bubbling, 20-30 minutes.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Brrrrr. Winter is upon us. It's dark. It's cold. It's damp. Soon we will have weeks upon weeks of "snow showers" with no break. Soon I will become slightly depressed because I always get the winter blues. However, this year I will get a break in February when my husband and I take a trip to Antigua. That will be about the time that I get a little down and sick of the cold dreary days, so vacation will most definitely lift my spirits enough to carry me through to April/May when it starts warming up again. I think just anticipating the trip is helping also - I can't wait!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This past weekend was youth hunting in Vermont, so my son and husband spent both days out in the woods. I like to prepare yummy snacks to take with them during the day, and hot comforting meals for when they get home in the evenings. I usually take requests, and this particular weekend both my son and husband requested chicken and biscuits. I love when everyone wants the same thing for dinner! Not that I ever make separate meals for those times when someone doesn't like what's on the menu, but it is so much more peaceful when everyone likes the meal that's on the table! Since I am still a little sore from surgery, I decided to take a few shortcuts this time. This chicken and biscuits recipe is relatively easy to make, and slightly quicker as well. In our family we prefer to cook the biscuits separately, but feel free to put the whole mixture in a baking dish and top it with your biscuit dough and pop it in the oven to cook. However, this is how I do it:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><u><b>Easy Chicken & Biscuits</b></u> (serves about 6)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2 large skinless, boneless chicken breasts cooked & shredded</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">6 tbsp butter</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">3/4 cup flour</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1 cup vegetable stock</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">5 cups chicken stock</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1 cup water mixed with 1 tbsp cornstarch</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1/2 tsp dried thyme</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1/2 tsp onion powder </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">3/4 tsp ground sage</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1 tsp dried parsley</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1 tsp pepper</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2 1/2 tsp salt</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1 cup frozen peas</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1 1/2 cups diced carrots, canned or frozen </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">6 biscuits - <a href="http://littlebcooks.blogspot.com/2012/08/perfect-biscuits.html" target="_blank">click here for recipe</a></span> <br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Cook your chicken breasts, shred or cut into chunks, and set aside. Melt the butter in a large saucepan on medium-high heat. Add the flour, whisk well to combine and cook for about 1 minute. Add the vegetable stock and whisk vigorously making sure to not leave any clumps and mixture is nice and smooth. Add the chicken stock and whisk vigorously again. Let the mixture begin to bubble then begin to whisk constantly again, making sure the mixture is smooth. Add the water mixed with cornstarch, and whisk well to combine. Add the thyme, onion powder, sage, parsley, salt and pepper and stir to combine. Turn heat down to medium and let it simmer and thicken for about 20-30 minutes. Add your shredded chicken, peas and carrots and stir to combine. Put your biscuit mixture together and pop them in the oven while the chicken gravy mixture is warming through. When your biscuits are ready, split them in half and place on your plate and top with your chicken gravy mixture. Serve with cranberry sauce & enjoy!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Sorry for the lack of posts lately, but I've spent the past week mostly in bed. Not because I'm lazy - just taking it easy and recovering from surgery. I am feeling better now, and getting around is much easier, so I decided to celebrate with one of my favorite pies. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I love recipes that take classics and turn them into something even better, but with a twist. This is one of those recipes. Combining apple and pumpkin pie into one pie may sound odd to you, but trust me on this - the result is truly delicious. I've been making this pie for many years, and personally, I like it better than regular pumpkin or apple pie. Serve something new for Thanksgiving this year, or just give this a try any time for the perfect fall dessert. So good!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b><u>Dutch Pumpkin Apple Pie</u></b> (by Nestle)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Apple Layer:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2 cups apple, cored, peeled & sliced</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1/4 cup sugar</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2 tsp flour</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1 tsp lemon juice</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1/4 cinnamon</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1, 9" pie shell, unbaked</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Pumpkin Layer: </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1 cup evaporated milk</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1/2 cup sugar</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2 large eggs</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2 tbsp butter, melted </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">3/4 tsp cinnamon</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1/4 tsp salt</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1/8 nutmeg</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Preheat oven to 375, and line your deep dish pie plate with the unbaked pie dough. Combine the ingredients for the apple layer in a large bowl, then pour into the pie dish. In a separate large bowl, combine all the ingredients for the pumpkin layer and pour over the apple mixture. Bake for 30 minutes then sprinkle the crumb topping (crumb topping recipe below) evenly over the top of the pie, and bake another 20 minutes or until center of pie is set. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Crumb Topping: combine 1/2 cup flour, 5 tbsp sugar and 1/3 cup chopped walnuts in a bowl. Cut in 3 tbsp cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs (you can also do this in a food processor to make it easier).</span><br />
