I was given a rhubarb plant a few years ago by my mother. The first year I had it it did not produce much fruit, but over the past couple of years, I have gradually been able to harvest some rhubarb. This year, my rhubarb crop seems to be quite exceptional. I have already cut and chopped up enough rhubarb to make a batch of jam and June has just begun.
I’m a coffee lover. Most of the time I enjoy my coffee hot, but on hot spring or summer days, the last thing I want is a hot drink. So in order to satisfy my coffee craving without having to endure the heat, I often mix up a cold version of my favorite coffee drink.
One of my very best friends is famous for making this delicious artichoke dip. It is something everyone begs her to make for family gatherings. After much begging and pleading, she finally relented and gave me the recipe.
If you ever go to the local bakery or drool over the pastries in the local coffee shop while you’re waiting for your latte, then you will love this simple recipe I have put together for you. I came up with this recipe while trying to make zucchini bread. It seems that I had run out of some of the ingredients and so, as a true baker, I improvised.
Growing up, I can remember my mom and older brothers making unbake cookies. My brothers and my mom loved to make them because they were quick and easy, and full of chocolate. I had only made them once since becoming a mom, but when I did, my boys loved them.
Anyone who is in their 30s grew up with a bologna that had a first and a last name. Yes, Oscar Mayer taught all of America’s youth that the only way to spell bologna was O-S-C-A-R and M-A-Y-E-R.
With June just around the corner, I thought it would be nice to share a recipe for all the brides-to-be out there. These little mints are a traditional wedding snack, and are something easy a bride can make to save a little dough. There are lots of other things a bride could use money for, a little extra money for the honeymoon, a new pair of shoes or even just a little extra money to help pay for the big day.
I have not always loved hummus. I actually used to hate it. However, it has grown on me, and I now love it on veggies, crackers and chips. It is rich and creamy with a pinch of salt, and even a bit tart. I think the reason that I learned to love hummus was because I fell in love with garbanzo beans. I used to make a five bean salad when I worked at a restaurant, and it was chock full of garbanzo beans. If you love garbanzo beans, or if you are just looking for a delicious dip, this recipe is for you.
If you’ve ever seen a western then you know that everyone in the west drinks whiskey, that is unless they’re yellow-bellied. You don’t get much more western than Montana and rodeo. What better way to help raise a little money for a good cause than with a whiskey tasting? They do realize that not everyone likes whiskey, so they’ll let those of you who don’t, taste wine instead.
If you’ve ever made Rice Krispie treats before then you can make these cookies. They may sound like they are hard to make, but they are actually quite easy. This recipe is pretty much making a batch of Rice Krispie treats and then frosting them. These are super simple and super delicious too.
I am a big fan of easy recipes and especially easy desserts. Rice crispie treats are one of my favorites. There aren’t too many desserts that are as easy to make or taste quite as good. So, when I found this recipe that takes rice crispie treats and kicks them up a notch, I just had to try them. They did not disappoint. The added chocolate and white chocolate only seem to enhance the goodness of these classic treats.
Did you know there is an easier way to make homemade cookies? For years I have been spending countless minutes mixing ingredient after ingredient together to make delicious cookies for my family. If I had only known I could use half the ingredients and time to make the same baked chocolate chip delights, I could have spent so many minutes doing other things. I could have always had fresh polish on my nails, a cleaner fridge, a little more sleep or even a little more time to chat with the hubby at night.
