Rebecca and I also made a batch of pumpkin cookies yesterday. Another easy pumpkin recipe from Two Peas and Their Pod. These are more cakey than most cookies. But still very good. They got 2 thumbs up from the 3 of us. And great reviews from my parents as well! Plus I like that they …
Pumpkin Graham Crackers
Yesterday Rebecca and I were in a baking mood. And I still have pumpkin to use. I thought I’d experminet a little and try something new…pumpkin graham crackers! I just used my usual graham cracker recipe, but replaced some of the butter and water with pumpkin. It worked great! You really can’t taste the pumpkin. …
Pumpkin Pie Muffins
Yesterday afternoon Rebecca and I made some pumpkin pie muffins. I had pumpkin and buttermilk to use up after making the pumpkin scones. And I’ve been wanting to make these for a while. I found the recipe a couple months ago when I read through my Ellie Crieger cookbook. Plus it’s one more attempt at …
Pumpkin White Chocolate Scones
Last night for dinner I made quiche. And I always like to make scones when I make quiche. I saw a recipe for pumpkin white chocolate scones recently on Two Peas and Their Pod, and I knew I had to try them! These were so good!!! All 3 of us loved them. Simple to make, …
Beer Bread
I guess I’ve never actually posted the recipe for beer bread even though I make it all the time. I posted the link a long time ago…I got it from my cousin’s wife, Melissa. This is about as easy as it gets. Always a good option when you want fresh bread but don’t have time …
A Healthy Lifestyle Does Work
A little over 2 years ago I had some bloodwork done and it showed that I had hypothyroidism. I was put on medication to correct the problem. At that time I was taking 125 mcg a day. While I was pregnant with Rebecca things imroved slightly (pregnancy can affect your thyroid) and it was lowered …
Black Bean Burgers
I’ve only ever tried making one non-meat burger. And Justin didn’t care for it too much (I really liked it :). Last night I tried another, very different from the walnut burgers I made in the past. I got this recipe from A Good Appetite. So simple to make. And quite good. Justin definitely liked …
Baked Egg Puffs
These baked egg cups use cooked squash as a thickener. It works so well! They are sort of like mini souffles. There was no way I would have known that there was squash in the eggs. Definitely a keeper! I love that we got some extra veggies. Serve baked egg puffs with your favorite veggie …
Relationships
Today we had our 2nd MOPS meeting of the year. It was great! Our focus is on building relationships. Which happens to be so fitting for me (funny how God does that, huh?:). Over the last few years I have been through a lot of ups and downs (see the sidebar for some details). Unfortunately …
Chocolate Graham Crackers
Yesterday I tried making chocolate graham crackers. This isn’t a new recipe. It’s my same graham cracker recipe. But this is the first time I added cocoa to make them chocolate. I made the dough, then took out half, then added cocoa to half. After mixing it in I realized it’s probably better to add …
