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.
Oreos are America’s favorite cookies, and who doesn’t love the snap, crackle and pop of Rice Krispies? So, what could be better than smashing together two of everyone’s favorites to make one heavenly crunchy treat?
I love pasta, but during the summer months, I loathe hot pasta dishes. So to satisfy my pasta cravings in these hot months, I’ve created my own cold pasta salad recipe. This is my absolute favorite, but not all of my kids love peppers, so I do get a dirty look or two from a couple of them when I make it, but I don’t care. I love it. Try it and see what you think.
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.
Do you love cheesecake, but hate the calories? I myself am a cheesecake lover, but don’t eat it as often as I like because of how fattening it is. That, and well, to make a traditional cheesecake, you have to bake it. It takes a lot of time and effort to make a true cheesecake.
At least once a week my mom would make cookies for me and my siblings as an after school snack when we were growing up. My favorite cookies were the ones that were just out of the oven. It didn’t seem to matter what kind they were, as long as they were hot.
I love Sour Patch Kids. They are my favorite candy that isn’t made with chocolate. I eat them every time I go to a movie, but love them even when I’m not watching movies. They are just the perfect mix of sour, sweet and fruit.
If you are looking for a fun and easy treat you can make with your kids, then this is for you. Speaking as a mother of small children, I can attest to the the popularity and convenience of fruit snacks. My boys love them in their school lunches, as snacks after school, or just an anytime snack.
If you’re looking for a way to take an old standby and make it a little healthier, then this is a great recipe for you. Somehow you can make muffins without sugar or flour and they can still manage to taste good. My boys love these muffins, but I have to admit that they usually con me into throwing some chocolate chips into the batter. So, if you feel like being healthy, but still treating yourself, then feel free to toss in a handful (about a 1/2 cup) of chocolate chips too.
