These are actually called “Crinkle Cookies” but I think they tasted like Brownie Bites to me. Recipe from Carla Hall of “The Chew,” which is in my opinion a quite dreadful name for a cooking show. I’ll let you have this one straight, since I pretty much followed this recipe as written. 4 tablespoons ButterContinue reading “Brownie Bites”

Puddle Cake
I made a delicious chocolate-chip bundt cake topped with chocolate ganache. Unfortunately, it did not resemble the lovely picture on the ganache recipe. (I know. A real shocker, right?) Still, it tasted GREAT and had a surprise ingredient! Wait until you see what that was! (Hint: the recipe for the sauce came from Kikkoman…) Continue reading “Puddle Cake”
Mayonnaise Chicken
I just had a little argument with spell-check over how many “n’s” are in mayonnaise. Also over how many “e’s” are in argument. (The answers are 2 and 1, respectively.) But I digress… My point was, I made baked chicken with mayo. The above image is from “The Real Housewives of Riverton.” Isn’t it pretty?Continue reading “Mayonnaise Chicken”
Graham Cracker Cake
This is a little but of a Pinterest Monday cheat, since I searched this recipe out on pinterest instead of finding it there originally. But my neighbor told me her grandma used to make graham cracker cakes and it sounded delicious and fun. Plus my five year old daughter loves graham crackers with icing. Well,Continue reading “Graham Cracker Cake”

A Question
I just watched a cat video on facebook…. (TWICE! And I made my husband watch too!) …Does this make me OFFICIALLY the most boring person on earth? Interestingly, according to this article, this is biologically not my fault. QUOTE: “A new study out of Yale found that when we see something CUTE, our bodies areContinue reading “A Question”
Dodged that one! SCORE!
We went to the fall festival at the elementary school over the weekend. <<< Here’s Little Boy playing “product placement” at the fair. After this event last year, I got stuck with a couple of goldfish. (Read that story here if you’re interested.) I wasn’t about to let that happen again this year. The twinsContinue reading “Dodged that one! SCORE!”
I didn’t do it.
They put the tape over their own mouths. I swear.
Peanut Butter Cheese Ball
I pinned three different versions of this recipe over the course of the last six months. I guess I like peanut butter and chocolate, huh? Anyways, when I finally made it for my book club, this was delicious. I thought it might have been better as a cheesecake or brownie than as a cheese ball.Continue reading “Peanut Butter Cheese Ball”
I read a scary book
I realize this doesn’t look like a scary book. But that’s because it’s specifically designed to frighten ME personally. (The book is Calling Invisible Women by Jeanne Ray.) In this story the protagonist, a doctor’s wife and mother of nearly-grown children, suddenly turns invisible. And no one in her family notices. As long as theyContinue reading “I read a scary book”
