Just read this post on Heavenly Homemakers about an ice cream experiment. Crazy! And really makes you think twice about what you buy vs. what you make. We’ve really been enjoying either organic or homemade ice cream over the past month. Can’t wait to dig into my latest creation on Sat. for Justin’s birthday…chocolate peanut …
English Muffins
A few weeks ago I tried making english muffins. They didn’t turn out very well. They were super dense…not at all the texture of an english muffin. I decided to give it another try yesterday with a completely different recipe. I found this recipe link on my SIL’s blog. The recipe is from Baking Bites. …
Chewy Granola Bars
Last week I made crunchy granola bars and I was thinking I wanted to find a recipe for chewy granola bars. Wouldn’t you know it Laura posted a recipe for some yesterday on Heavenly Homemakers 🙂 I thought I would try them sometime. Then yesterday morning Rebecca and I came home from shopping and she …
Chocolate Chip Brownies
Yesterday afternoon Rebecca and I had some free time. And what do we usually do with free time? Bake! I wanted to make something with my homemade chocolate chips. I debated between a couple recipes but decided to try the chocolate chip brownie recipe from Heavenly Homemakers. It uses whole wheat flour and is so simple …
Granola Bars
I got a new Barefoot Contessa cookbook (Back to Basics) for my birthday. I love it! I made my first recipe from it yesterday…granola bars. YUM!!! I’ve wanted to make granola bars for a long time, and there are so many different recipes out there. I figured I’d start with this one since I just …
Whole Wheat Pita Bread
I can now cross one more bread experiment off my list…pita bread! I’ve wanted to make it for a while. But it seemed like such a tough thing to make. Would it really work? How does that pocket get in there? And what recipe to try? I’ve looked at so many. I did one more …
Thousand Island Dressing
Thousand Island Dressing is my favorite salad dressing. I almost always use it when I have salads. I’ve never tried making it and always just assumed it was tough to make. But apparently not 😛 I’m sure there are lots of variations out there, but I found an easy recipe on Heavenly Homemakers. I didn’t …
Ice Cream!!
Anyone that knows me knows I LOVE ice cream. I refrain from eating it too often (meaning I try to keep it to once or twice a week) since I do try to be healthy, but I could eat it every day 🙂 I used to…but I know better now 😛 Anyway, I got an ice …
Cashew Butter
I’ve been wanting to make homemade peanut butter, cashew butter, etc. for a long time. I finally got around to it yesterday. I decided to make cashew butter first. I’ve never actually had cashew butter, but cashews are my favorite nut. I knew you could make peanut butter by just grinding peanuts, so I figured …
English Muffins
Yesterday I made my first attempt at english muffins. I don’t eat them often, but Justin loves them. And it’s one more thing I could save money on by making myself. I got the recipe from Pete Bakes. I’ve had it tagged for a long time but never made the time to try them. My …
