Dinner Idea

As I have said before, Sunday dinner is special to me.  Last week, the menu was:

--Corn on the Cob (from the Farmer's Market) :  I like to add a little sugar to the water.  Get it to a good boil and throw the corn in.  I put the lid on and cook for about 7 minutes.  Salt, Pepper, & Spray Butter and it's divine.
--Salad :  From a bag.  If I had my choice I would have had Jean's 3 Lettuce Salad....My Favorite!
--Cantaloupe, Pineapple, & Strawberries:  Can't beat fresh fruit.  Mmmm.
--Savory Rice
--My standard dinner rolls : Rhodes Rolls sprinkled with Parmesan cheese and salad supreme
--Kabobs :  I marinated my chicken chunks with my Aunt Kathy's Marinade.  Then I cut up some onions,  and green & red peppers I got from the Farmer's Market and added them to the skewer.

THEN, on to dessert.  The most anticipated course.

--Fruit Pizza - yummy.

I'm loving Cherry!

This is my new favorite book!  It is a beautiful cherry checkered fabric that I have laminated with vinyl to be spill resistant.  To complete it's stylish look, it is pulled together with a beautiful red bow tied up the spine.

TYPO - Blondies

I just realized I have a typo on the books I sold at the Farmer's Market recently.  If you happen to check my site - Please update this.  It will make a HUGE difference.  The recipe printed says 1/4 c. butter, but it should be 3/4 c. butter.

This is a new recipe, so for everyone that doesn't have this.  You'll want to add this.  It's a yummy one!

Blonde Brownies


3/4 c. butter
2 1/4 c. brown sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
2 3/4 c. flour
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 pkg. (each) choc. & butterscotch chips
1/2 c. chopped almonds (optional)


Mix melted butter and brown sugar.  Add eggs and vanilla and mix well.  Add dry ingredients and mix just to combine.  Stir in chocolate & butterscotch chips and nuts.  Pour into a greased 9x13 pan and bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.  Cool completely and cut into small bars.  


Sorry for the typo!!  Hopefully, it won't happen again.  


Happy Cooking!

Sunday Dinner

Sunday is my day to cook. I absolutely love cooking all day for a wonderful Sunday dinner, I just hate the clean up. I wish I was on one of those cooking shows with someone right behind me cleaning up every mess I make. Oh, wouldn't that be nice.

Last night I had the following menu:

Best Steak Marinade with Flat Iron Steak

Savory Rice

My Standard Dinner Rolls

3 Lettuce Salad

Fresh Corn on the Cob from the Farmers Market

It was super yummy. For dessert I made a Key Lime Pie that unfortunately didn't turn out quite right but I also made my new favorite cookies. Have you ever been to Paradise Cafe? I LOVE that Chocolate White Chocolate Chip Chippers. To die for! Love them. I searched the internet and found this recipe on picky-palate.com. Click here for the recipe.

I will mention that the dough is really sticky, so this time I put it in the fridge for a few hours and it made it much easier to scoop and I think they turned out better. They are addicting, so be careful. :)

So Excited

It's sad when you get SO excited about something like fabric, but boy am I excited! I just discovered laminated cotton and I am in love. They are perfect for the recipe books. I now can take any fabric and for just a few dollars more can laminate the fabric to make it the perfect cover for your recipe book. Here are a few pictures of two I have just done.
I wish you could reach into the computer and feel them. It's AWESOME!
