It’s Another Winner

When my husband said he wanted to make me some brownies I told him all right.  After all who can pass up brownies.

Little did I know he was browsing for new recipes again.  OMG!  These are to die for (not literally), but they are really, really, good.  So rich and chocolaty, and mix in the peanut butter…my two favorite things…you have to try these.

Pumpkin Bars

It is Pumpkin time once again. What most people seem to forget about the pumpkin is that it is not just a Jack-O-Lantern. A friend of mine never used canned pumpkin, she always quartered a fresh pumpkin and cooked it down until it was mushy.

I tried doing it her way with a slow cooker, and it was all right, but give me a can any day! Why go through all that work yourself, when someone else has done it for you. Anyway here is a great recipe for pumpkin other than pie.

Toffee Brownies

Anyone who has read any of my recipes knows that I am a huge Paula Deen fan.   It is not just her personality, but her comfort food that draws me to her recipes.   Now everyone knows that chocolate is a woman’s best friend.   Forget everything you have heard in the past…it is chocolate.

Here is a recipe of Paula’s that will make you drool with a chocolate high!   I did make a change with mine though when I made it, because I am not a huge Toffee fan, I substituted Caramel.   Yummy!

Irresistibly Playful Creations Anyone Can Make

I bought this book about a year ago at Michaels for $15.95. It has some great recipes in it and wonderful cupcake ideas for the kids. I’ll let Toni “the bookworm” tell you more about it, as she does it much better than I ever could.

Comfort Foods

I enjoy cooking, I enjoy eating good food. I have a particular fondness for what I call “comfort food”. Comfort food to me means food that tastes like some love was put into it. Not that having your family eat healthy food means you don’t love them. You do and you care what goes into their bodies. I cared what went into my children’s bodies. My body is another matter.

If you are looking for healthy recipes: don’t look here. If you are looking for vegetarian recipes: don’t look here. If you are looking for chocolate, fried foods, cakes, desserts, family meals: look here! There will be a variety of good old fashion cooking ideas and recipes for your eating pleasure
