From 2008 02 12 Bo… Tonight I made “Boot Track” cookies for dessert for the family. I saw the recipe in Eating Well magazine a few months ago and told myself, “I need to make that for the family.” The recipe called for whole wheat pastry flour, which is an unusual find, but today I … Read more
From 2008 02 03 Ki… Paul and I were making our monthly junk-food shopping trip Friday (recall my post about Rice Krispie treats from January) and this time we stopped at Super Walmart, since it was across the highway from the number-five-choice-for-dinner Japanese joint, Osaka. While Paul stocked up on such junky fare as bottled … Read more
I’d read about the Pioneer Woman’s Buttery Thyme Bread on earlier blog posts and it sounded pretty good. When she posted the recipe earlier this week I was really interested to see how it tasted. So tonight we had the leftover Jack Daniel’s roast, this bread, and some glazed carrots. You can check out her … Read more
Tonight I used up the rest of my blueberries and made Pioneer Woman’s Cobbler #2. It was a half recipe (I only had 3 cups of berries), which worked out pretty well, but this cobbler is definitely less sweet that Cobbler #1. That’s probably why PW insists that this one be served with vanilla ice … Read more
*Okay, who knows where that one is from??? (Margaret, you can’t answer…I know you know this!) So this evening I took that chuck roast out of my fridge and plopped it on the grill. In accordance with the recipe, I seared both sides on high (about 5 min. each side) then turned the grill down … Read more
So tonight I’m going to use my other chuck roast. When I bought the chuck roast expressly for the Pioneer Woman pot roast recipe last week, I found a great buy-one-get-one-free special, so the 2nd one has just thawed and is ready for action. (NOTE: The pot roast was delicious, but I think I might … Read more
So tonight I attempted PW’s Blackberry Cobbler #1 recipe. I attempted it earlier this month without the self-rising flour and it was not quite what we were expecting. I don’t even think I posted about it, it was so disasterous. So this week I picked up a small bag of self-rising flour (I’d never purchased … Read more
So today I made a 7-Layer Jello dessert for the family. I’d never made one before, and really didn’t know much about it. As usual, it was Paul who suggested the recipe, and as usual, I fouled it up somehow. How was I supposed to know that you’re supposed to make it in a 9 … Read more
“Whoopie WHAT???” Whoopie Pie. A Pa Dutch treat I’ve been exposed to mainly from when I started seeing Dave. I probably saw and had them when I was younger, but I didn’t see them in such volumes until I started going to Lancaster County, PA on an annual basis for Dave’s family reunions. So we … Read more
…which means “goodbye” to the grill for a few days. Don’t like to grill when it’s cold, but tonight’s hot dog (for Timmy) and hamburger (for the rest of us) dinner was quick and easy. My latest addiction: the Pioneer Woman blog, added a bew-tee-full pot roast how-to guide this week. I think I’ll be … Read more
