Sorry for the hiatus, but when your little one is sick and work is insane....there's not much cooking going on! I have lots of baking and cooking this weekend planned, so make sure to stop back and see what's I've been up to. Let's just say there will be lots of cranberries in my future… Continue reading I’m still here!
Green Pumpkinseed and Cranberry Crispy Bars
This is one of those recipes that I have saved for years. I can't remember when I ripped it out of Cooking Light but I'm finally getting through the stack of recipes that are taking up room on my craft desk. I need to organize my recipes better and start working through all the recipes… Continue reading Green Pumpkinseed and Cranberry Crispy Bars
Chicken with Pesto Mushroom Cream Sauce
I saw this recipe over on Joelen's blog and knew it was something I wanted to try. It was simple to make and so tasty. The sauce is amazing and I love the addition of pesto. I would have like to make my own pesto but didn't have fresh basil on hand and had a… Continue reading Chicken with Pesto Mushroom Cream Sauce

Here’s the last and final cookie recipe from the exchange…but not the last cookie recipe you’ll see from me before the end of the year.

Snickerdoodles
This is a traditional cookie that I have been making for many years. Snickerdoodles are simple to make and are great for the little ones to help. I plan to make these with my daughter; she’ll have fun rolling them in cinnamon-sugar. These cookies were a little harder than I prefer…I like them when they’re… Continue reading Snickerdoodles
Ricotta Cookie Puffs
Here’s the first cookie from my work’s cookie exchange yesterday – Ricotta Cookie Puffs. I think this was probably my favorite cookie from the exchange. It’s totally different than any other cookie I’ve eaten before. I reminded me of a sour cream doughnut, but was moist and delicious! They’ll definitely be made in my house!1… Continue reading Ricotta Cookie Puffs
Chocolate Glaciers
Today is my work's cookie exchange. I decided to try out a new recipe. I know I was risking it, but I am confident in my baking skills and this was an easy recipe. I think they turned out great, but we'll see what the other bakers think. There are only 5 of us participating in… Continue reading Chocolate Glaciers
Ham & String Beans
The weather is changing around here and it's definitely feeling like winter. Today was one of those days when we all just wanted to lounge around the house and stay warm! We did venture out and get our Christmas tree. It's up and all decorated and making the house smell great. I love fresh pine!… Continue reading Ham & String Beans
Maple-Mustard Glazed Pork Chops
I'm not a huge fan of pork chops, because I always overcook them. I can never figure out the correct timing when I'm cooking them. BUT....using this method of broiling them, they were juicy and so good. I was a little concerned that the glaze would be a little spicy with the whole-grain mustard, but… Continue reading Maple-Mustard Glazed Pork Chops
