Chocolate Mood

Posted by Nancy on May 12th, 2010

I am in the mood for chocolate.  And as anyone knows when a woman is in the mood for chocolate, don’t stand in her way!

My husband is the baker in the family and he makes wonderful Chocolate Chip cookies.  He uses the recipes off the Nestle Tollhouse chips bag, but instead of using vanilla he uses real Almond extract, then adds pecans.  They are delicious.

But I am in the mood for something more chocolaty (is that even a word?).  Something that oozes chocoate and is so rich that eating one will satisfy my craving.  Of course, I will have to eat more as I don’t want them to go to waste.

It’s Another Winner

Posted by Nancy on March 28th, 2010

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.

Mississippi Mud Brownie Recipe

Posted by Nancy on February 8th, 2010

Nothing says comfort food as much as Chocolate.  And nothing says chocolate better than Brownies.

It is a scientific fact that women need chocolate to make them feel better.  I don’t really care what all technical jargon is or why it makes us feel better, just happy that it does and I have a very good reason to eat it.

This brownie recipe was sent to me by a friend, not sure where she got it, and really don’t care.  This is wonderful.  I would suggest not sharing these with your kids though, these are for you only.

Salted Pumpkin Seeds

Posted by Nancy on October 15th, 2009

Remove seeds from pumpkin and wash off all pulp (you will learn anew the meaning of slippery when doing this).  Place seeds in shallow baking pans.  Half cover the seeds with saltwater (1 teaspoon salt to 1 cup of water).

Place in a 200 degree oven and bake until all water has evaporated and seeds are crisp.  Store in airtight container if they last that long!

Mini Ice Cream Sandwiches

Posted by Nancy on July 10th, 2009

 

We had some left over ice cream from when Ed made it and no one would touch it for some reason.   I guess no one wanted to be the one to finish off the ice cream.   So what to do with it?

I found this recipe and remembered my Mom made something very similiar when I was a kid, only she used vanilla wafers or any other kind of cookie she had laying around.

So you and the kids enjoy and be sure an experiment with different cookie/ice cream combinations.
