I have an abundance of apples on hand, so I decided to do a variation on apple crisp. It turned out very well. Not too sweet, not too tart, just perfect! I served it with vanilla bean gelato, but it would also be tasty with a dollop of whipped cream.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I failed to take a photo plated, so I quickly took one of it in the pan before packing the leftovers for the fridge.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4tHEtJ0gnGPYhQca0lL5eIZ0ZLeO7KByuMxQH8fBtlo6PD2qNtRQpdj6qq502RvTb7QTZcGeisKXl2tWPIx73uS1H64x5NsDuaJIF1ScEFdDJsB5jW7Gp9CFiBn6z5AjkjBtutNe0M1sNdnt56d69DK2hm4Yl7dG83L4SUUHWUf-IH3lbo8QdQ3w-kZU/s3812/IMG_1332.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2703" data-original-width="3812" height="284" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4tHEtJ0gnGPYhQca0lL5eIZ0ZLeO7KByuMxQH8fBtlo6PD2qNtRQpdj6qq502RvTb7QTZcGeisKXl2tWPIx73uS1H64x5NsDuaJIF1ScEFdDJsB5jW7Gp9CFiBn6z5AjkjBtutNe0M1sNdnt56d69DK2hm4Yl7dG83L4SUUHWUf-IH3lbo8QdQ3w-kZU/w400-h284/IMG_1332.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><p></p><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Cranberry Apple Crisp</span></h1><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Preheat Oven to 325 Degrees Fahrenheit</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Serves 12</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Ingredients:</span></h2><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Filling;</span></h3><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">4 cups of apples - I used 1/2 Granny Smith and whatever other apple I had on hand)</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">4 cups of fresh cranberries, rinsed (I used the whole bag, so this might vary a little)</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">1 cup granulated sugar</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">1 tsp ground cinnamon</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">pinch of cloves</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">pinch of salt</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Topping:</span></h3><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">1/3 cup all purpose flour</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">1 cup oats</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">1 cup chopped pecans</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">1/2 cup (1 stick) of butter melted</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Instructions:</span></h2><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Prepare the Filling.</span></h3><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">Place all of the ingredients in a large bowl and mix until everything is well coated.</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">Lightly grease a 9 x 13 baking dish.</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">Turn the mixture into the pan and spread evenly.</span></li></ul></div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />Prepare the Topping:</span></h3><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">Using the same bowl, add all the dry ingredients.</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">Melt the butter and pour over the ingredients and mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon.

Following lunch, we continued our visiting at the home of a classmate. During planning of this gathering, I was asked to make dessert. I know, no pressure, right?! Anyway, what to fix... I know most folks like banana pudding so I found this cheesecake recipe on <a href="http://cookiesandcups.com">https://cookiesandcups.com/banana-pudding-cheesecake/</a> and decided it would be perfect.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Long story short, we had a grand time and my what a "hen party" it was! Everyone was very complimentary of this lovely cheesecake. I followed the recipe pretty close, but I did use my homemade vanilla extract and added around 1/2 tsp. more. I also used stabilized whipped cream since I knew we were having lunch before and it needed to "hold-up". If you want to short-cut and use Cool Whip on top, that will work as well, no judgement!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I know all the steps look very involved and perhaps are intimidating, but don't let that scare you off. I hope you make this and enjoy it as much as everyone did today! I know I'll be making it again when opportunity presents itself. It is a keeper!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Banana Cheesecake</span></h1><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8QhjKGPBP_kcmWzOOo65RYHPWT3kjOHeB_98wjFPf4Q5V5d-kzCnXv3LwmOW0OAv-MLV6O20bzOAIRIEZnvchcZp5BjqtBcf3WEFm0UY39iJv5oe0tmQjnYLlzFdpqbjiLRXKItm3WXS7Gs5p6P5_vxV-jBInaTGzTVOgo_BnBNts4EJpJ8VlrhlS2uw/s3457/Banana%20Pie%20Cheesecake.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2593" data-original-width="3457" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8QhjKGPBP_kcmWzOOo65RYHPWT3kjOHeB_98wjFPf4Q5V5d-kzCnXv3LwmOW0OAv-MLV6O20bzOAIRIEZnvchcZp5BjqtBcf3WEFm0UY39iJv5oe0tmQjnYLlzFdpqbjiLRXKItm3WXS7Gs5p6P5_vxV-jBInaTGzTVOgo_BnBNts4EJpJ8VlrhlS2uw/w400-h300/Banana%20Pie%20Cheesecake.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Serves 16</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Preheat Oven to 350 Degrees Fahrenheit</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Ingredients:</span></h2><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Crust:</span></h3><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">2 cups crushed vanilla wafer cookies (around 60, plus 17 whole for the rim)</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">5 Tbs, butter, melted</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">1/4 cup sugar</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">1/8 tsp. salt</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Cheesecake:</span></h3><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">4 (8 oz) packages full fat cream cheese, room temperature</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">1 cup granulated sugar</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">1/2 cup sour cream, room temperature</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">2 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">3 eggs, room temperature</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">12 coarsely chopped vanilla wafer cookies</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">1 large banana, thinly sliced</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Whipped Cream Topping</span></h3><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">1 cup heavy cream, very cold</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">1/4 cup powdered sugar</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">10 vanilla wafer cookies to decorate </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">1/4 cup caramel sauce</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Instructions:</span></h2><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Make the Crust:</span></h3><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">In a large bowl combined the crushed vanilla wafers, sugar, salt.

What could be better than to help warm the kitchen with some cookie baking! Grab your apron and let's get to baking.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">These little gems are addicting, so consider yourself warned! They are buttery, melt in your mouth, toasted pecan bits of heaven.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">This is a vintage recipe and I've seen it everywhere, so it is hard to know who to attribute it to. I will say this is recipe is a little different than many of the recipes in that it requires the pecans to be ground very fine, almost to the same consistency as the flour. The pecans toast during the bake and your kitchen will smell so delicious.</span></p><h1 style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-iWkJaV0Qr-wZNRPfYF2jQCIsowXF9NKiajXWjEx_6A3aBwGYDC4Kh6uU3p09X4RcJdKX-UQj3CsFuaVOlVFM2O1ZpjhAtVWcUcwhQfaTaIkBOYQ7M6DDCjKAcdOTOzktS-gT-X4Z2N-slpphq36sOCw5JJCi6Jq99Lf2Du5jwCyP9Oj1sBYawJI-Nb0/s3225/IMG_1123.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3225" data-original-width="2428" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-iWkJaV0Qr-wZNRPfYF2jQCIsowXF9NKiajXWjEx_6A3aBwGYDC4Kh6uU3p09X4RcJdKX-UQj3CsFuaVOlVFM2O1ZpjhAtVWcUcwhQfaTaIkBOYQ7M6DDCjKAcdOTOzktS-gT-X4Z2N-slpphq36sOCw5JJCi6Jq99Lf2Du5jwCyP9Oj1sBYawJI-Nb0/w482-h640/IMG_1123.jpg" width="482" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />Snowballs</span></h1><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Preheat Oven: 300 Degrees Fahrenheit</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Yield: 4 dozen or so, depending on the size you make them</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Ingredients:</span></h3><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">1 cup of butter softened </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">1/4 cup granulated sugar</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">2 cups ground pecans</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">2 cups sifted all purpose flour</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">2 cups powdered sugar</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Instructions:</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">1.

Why does it always seem to come down to just a single banana? I didn't really want a sliced banana bread or banana cookies so I decided to do a single serve option and turn the traditional bread into cupcakes. Some will go into the freezer for later for a quick single serve option; easy to thaw quickly to satisfy that sweet craving or breakfast on the go!</p><p>It is a cold, cold day out with single digit temperatures and sub zero windchills so all in all a good day to be snuggled nice and warm inside.The additional the warmth of the oven with the wonderful aroma eminating from the kitchen just adds to the coziness.</p><p>I've been away from the blog for several years and decided I needed to start it up again. We will see how well that goes. It takes a lot of time and I do it for the simple pleasure of it and having some of my favorite recipes quickly at hand as opposed to those who do it for ad and sponsor money. I need to figure out a better solution for the photographs since the lighting in my kitchen isn't always the best! I hope you enjoy the recipes and that some of them become your family favorites.</p><p>These cupcakes are simple to make and really easy if you have a stand mixer, but a hand mixer will also do a good job.</p><p>I make my own vanilla extract, and I used that in this recipe. I also make vanilla sugar and used that as well. I'm expecting these little gems to be so so good!</p><p>Here is the recipe. The origin is unknown. It is a pretty standard banana bread recipe, but I modified it just a bit with additional yummy ingredients like chocolate chips, chopped walnuts and coconut. Feel free to omit them to adjust the recipe to your personal taste. I toyed with the option of adding a crumb topping, but for now, decided to just go with them plain. They taste amazing!</p><p><br /></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqXSHRPqg3ycHw94NJzpyN0tewzrhuSwaQSQIbZPqGRw0jSkzU5rt4X_n26BHeJRaK7AfXoW2mGgCW50te8oJxm9ReFvCeJscx9t_A9XaDPCblB8A3QyUqzWUXjlzetZWKCYcxaXMmTQrHG9odnALQczhTXXNJpevm14MD7wPqd5u7GwAgn8KfxW9p_mM/s4032/IMG_1083%20(1).jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqXSHRPqg3ycHw94NJzpyN0tewzrhuSwaQSQIbZPqGRw0jSkzU5rt4X_n26BHeJRaK7AfXoW2mGgCW50te8oJxm9ReFvCeJscx9t_A9XaDPCblB8A3QyUqzWUXjlzetZWKCYcxaXMmTQrHG9odnALQczhTXXNJpevm14MD7wPqd5u7GwAgn8KfxW9p_mM/w400-h300/IMG_1083%20(1).jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /></h2><h2 style="text-align: left;"><br /></h2><h2 style="text-align: left;"><br /></h2><h2 style="text-align: left;"><br /></h2><h2 style="text-align: left;"><br /></h2><h2 style="text-align: left;"><br /></h2><h2 style="text-align: left;"><br /></h2><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><h1 style="text-align: left;"><br /></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><br /></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;">Banana Bread Cupcakes</h1><p>Yield: 12 cupcakes</p><p>Preheat Oven to 350 Degrees Farenheit</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Ingredients:</h3><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">1 ripe banana<br />1 stick of butter, softened<br />1 egg<br />3/4 cup milk<br />1 1/2 tsp. vanilla<br />1 1/2 cups all purpose flour<br />1 cup granulated sugar<br />1 tsp. baking soda<br />1 pinch of salt<br />1/2 cup chopped walnuts<br />1/2 cup shredded coconut<br />1/2 cup chocolate chips</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Instructions:</span></h2><div><span style="font-size: medium;">1.

It is one of those dishes that reminds me of home and family. </span><br />
<br />
<span face="'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif" style="color: #660000;">This is easy to mix up and doesn't take a lot of unique ingredients. I was salivating with anticipation when I made this. I had been thinking about fixing this all day and couldn't wait to get my fork into it (okay, I didn't wait, I had to sample it while it was simmering). These BBQ dogs make a quick supper to warm you up on a chilly evening.</span><br />
<br />
<span face="'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif" style="color: #660000;">I don't know where the recipe originated, it was something that we had at home when I was growing up. Give it a try, I think you will be pleasantly surprised.</span><div><span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #660000;">We always had it with mashed potatoes and who am I to mess with tradition! I will admit that I cheated and used the Bob Evans microwaveable mashed potatoes rather than making them the old fashioned way.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />

<br />
<span face="'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif" style="color: #660000;">1 package of hot dogs, your normal brand will do</span><br />
<span face="'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif" style="color: #660000;">1 medium onion, minced</span><br />
<span face="'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif" style="color: #660000;">1 green pepper, chopped</span><br />
<span face="'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif" style="color: #660000;">3/4 cup catsup</span><br />
<span face="'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif" style="color: #660000;">1/2 teaspoon salt</span><br />
<span face="'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif" style="color: #660000;">2 teaspoons margarine</span><br />
<span face="'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif" style="color: #660000;">2 Tablespoons brown sugar</span><br />
<span face="'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif" style="color: #660000;">2 Tablespoons prepared mustard</span><br />
<span face="'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif" style="color: #660000;">1 Tablespoon Worchestershire Sauce</span><br />
<br />
<span face="'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif" style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">Directions:</span><br />
<br />
<span face="'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif" style="color: #660000;">Slash hot dogs, but not all the way through.</span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFX8RVpWC4YPcfq1owkCk7fL27rU1rCVJZ6PGhJTxJXK7ict99OXQ-hGTGHaTq9QFsAu4bB0dNjLZ49Xdo_3LdFZg-I-V0XjewMcrkKwzVtXpQyLlhJSrpGlDOPfH9FND86vbKYSqVyPs/s1600/BBQ+Hot+Dogs+-+Slashed.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFX8RVpWC4YPcfq1owkCk7fL27rU1rCVJZ6PGhJTxJXK7ict99OXQ-hGTGHaTq9QFsAu4bB0dNjLZ49Xdo_3LdFZg-I-V0XjewMcrkKwzVtXpQyLlhJSrpGlDOPfH9FND86vbKYSqVyPs/s320/BBQ+Hot+Dogs+-+Slashed.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
<span face="'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif" style="color: #660000;">Brown the hot dogs in a large skillet. I typically add a little olive oil to prevent sticking.</span><br />
<span face="'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif" style="color: #660000;">Add the remaining ingredients and stir to combine.</span><br />
<span face="'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif" style="color: #660000;">Simmer 15 minutes until everything is heated through.</span><br />

You either love it or you hate it. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">While fruitcake is often the dreaded Christmas gift and the butt of bad jokes, I think this recipe might change the perspective of fruitcake haters! This fruitcake is not baked so you don't have to worry about burning anything. It looks difficult, but is really easy to make. Ingredients are typically easy to find with all the holiday baking goodies at the local grocery.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Holiday time often triggers childhood memories. This year it was the memory of making fruitcake with mom at the kitchen table in this huge pan. It was a treat because it requires a lot of ingredients that are seasonal, such as candied fruit and combined with nuts, dates, raisins, etc. it becomes quite expensive to make. Growing up, we had this for many years and the first year we didn't have it, I remember mom saying that the ingredients cost too much. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">This week I set out on a mission to find my mother's fruitcake recipe and recreate some memories. This fruitcake doesn't contain any spirits nor is it baked, but rather made with a prebaked spice cake that gets crumbled up and mixed with all sort of goodies and packed into a 9x13 pan. I was able to get all the ingredients at my local Walmart with the exception of candied red cherries. I called and visited multiple stores in a two county area and no one had them! Well, I was not about to have my plans derailed! I bought some maraschino cherries and made the candied red cherries myself!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">I learned that the recipe mom used is a Betty Crocker Recipe that originated in 1957 and was called <span style="color: red;"><i>Mystery Fruitcake</i></span>. I took a few liberties with the recipe, making some modifications to the quantity of some of the ingredients to avoid waste. I also added a container of candied pineapple as well.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Give this recipe a try and create some new memories and start a new tradition!</span></p><p><span></span></p><a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span><p></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Christmas Fruitcake</span></h2><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Ingredients:</span></h3><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">1 package Betty Crocker Super Moist Spice cake mix<br />1 package Betty Crocker Fluffy White frosting mix (substitute 1 can if boxed isn't available)<br />1 32 ounce container of candied mixed fruit<br />1 small container of red candied cherries<br />1 small container of green candied cherries<br />1 small container of candied pineapple<br />1 1/2 cups seedless raisins (I used golden)<br />2 cups cup of pitted dates<br />1 pound package of pecan halves</span></p><div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span face="Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #353a43;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Instructions:</span></span></h3><div><span face="Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #353a43;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Bake the spice cake mix per the package instructions.</span></span></div><div><span face="Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #353a43;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Cool the cake and crumble it into a very very large bowl or pan.

<span style="font-size: large;">Are you a coffee fanatic? I will admit that I enjoy my coffee. However, it is over 90 degrees here and I'm really not into hot beverages much after my morning java jolt.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I have made cold brew coffee and I like it, but I don't always have it on hand. Thinking about cold brew my mind wandered on to ice cream. Don't ask how, it just did and as a result I have made a killer coffee ice cream...and yes, it is low carb friendly. The chocolate covered coffee beans I added drove up the carb count and I have included the nutritional info from My Fitness Pal and the end of the post with and without the chocolate covered coffee beans, so you can decide which version you want to dive into.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This recipe takes just a wee bit of preparation because you need to coarsely grind your coffee, as though you were making french press, then mix it into your cream mixture and let it steep overnight in the fridge. The little bit of prep is worth it in the rich coffee flavor you'll have in your ice cream!</span><br />

<h3>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Ingredients:</span></h3>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">2 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 cup unsweetened almond milk</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 cup coarsely ground coffee (I used Roasterie City of Fountains)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/2 cup erythritol (or Swerve)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">4 large eggs</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">3 Tablespoons of espresso vodka (I used Roasterie Dizzy Three)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2 Tablespoons vegetable glycerin (optional)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/4 teaspoon liquid stevia extract</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 cup chopped chocolate covered coffee beans</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-size: large;">Directions:</span></h3>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">24 hours prior to mixing and freezing the ice cream, grind your coffee and mix it into the cream and unsweetened almond milk. Cover the container and refrigerate overnight. The coffee will infuse into the cream and turn into a light tan color.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">When ready to make the ice cream, remove the cream mixture from the refrigerator and strain it to remove the coffee grounds. Don't worry if there are teensy-tiny bits, that's okay. Make sure you press the grounds to get as much of the cream mixture out as possible.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In a separate bowl, combine the eggs and erythritol and beat on high speed until thick and creamy and the sweetener dissolves. Add the cream mixture to the egg mixture along with the espresso vodka, vegetable glycerin, xanthan gum and liquid stevia. Beat an additional 2-3 minutes to thoroughly combine the ingredients.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Pour the mixture into the canister of your ice cream maker and freeze for approximately 40 minutes. When the mixture is the consistency of soft serve, add the chopped chocolate covered coffee beans and continue to churn until they are combined. If your ice cream canister is too full to do this, just layer in them in when you put the ice cream into your air tight freezer container.</span><br />

I've been on a roll making ice cream as summer time rapidly approaches. After making the Mint Chip, I barely had it in the freezer before I was dreaming up the next flavor combination. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My thoughts really went down the path of Fireball with toasted pecans, but Fireball has too much sugar for low carb, so I went with straight bourbon and added a healthy dose of cinnamon to it. Bourbon will help reduce the iciness of the finished product and adds just a little flavor. Be sure to toast the pecans, it adds a flavor depth to the ice cream.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I already have the next batch in mind but that will need to wait until I reduce the quantity of low carb ice creams I have in the freezer right now! In the meantime, enjoy this one!</div>

I would be remiss to not credit Carolyn Ketchum at All Day I Dream About Food for her <a href="http://alldayidreamaboutfood.com/2014/08/low-carb-mint-chocolate-chip-ice-cream-cake.html" target="_blank">recipe</a> which inspired the base for my ice creams. She's probably has no clue as to the monster she's created! </div>

<h2>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Low Carb Cinnamon Bourbon Pecan Ice Cream</span></h2>
Servings: 12<br />
<h3>
Ingredients:</h3>
<br />
2 cups heavy whipping cream<br />
1 cup unsweetened almond milk<br />
1/2 cup erythritol (or Swerve)<br />
4 large eggs<br />
3 Tbs. bourbon (optional, but it does help with prevent iciness)<br />
2 Tbs. vegetable glycerin (optional, helps keep the ice cream scoopable)<br />
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon<br />
1/4 tsp. xanthan gum<br />
1/4 tsp. liquid stevia extract<br />
1 cup chopped toasted pecans<br />
<h3>
<br />Directions:</h3>
<br />
In a large bowl, put the eggs and erythritol and beat until thick and creamy.<br />
While the eggs and sugar are beating, measure out the cream and almond milk.<br />
When the egg mixture is thick and yellow, add the cream and almond milk, bourbon, vegetable glycerin, cinnamon, xanthan gum and liquid stevia.<br />
<br />
Mix the ingredients for a few minutes to ensure they are well combined.<br />
Pour the mixture into the canister of your ice cream maker.<br />
While the ice cream is churning away, toast and chop the pecans.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
When the ice cream is nearly frozen, add the chopped pecans and continue to freeze until the consistency of soft serve,<br />
<br />
Serve immediately or transfer to a freezer safe container.<br />
I usually can't wait and have to have some right away!<br />

Ice Cream, we all love it. We have our favorite flavors as well. I was wanting some mint chip ice cream not long ago and while working on the recipe, I had, well, let's say an accident measuring out the mint extract and suffice it to say, my breath was minty fresh after eating a bowl. No chance of throwing it out, nope, not when it was edible.<br />
<br />
I've seen a lot of posts on Facebook regarding some commercially available low carb ice creams. I've tried them and honestly, I like making my own. Yes it takes more work, but not much and I know exactly what is in it.<br />
<br />
My second attempt of this ice cream was today. This time, being careful with measurements!<br />
I am happy with the results and excited to share it with you.<br />
<br />
Also want to give a shout out to Carolyn at All Day I Dream About Food. Her recipe here <a href="http://alldayidreamaboutfood.com/2014/08/low-carb-mint-chocolate-chip-ice-cream-cake.html">http://alldayidreamaboutfood.com/2014/08/low-carb-mint-chocolate-chip-ice-cream-cake.html</a> was the base inspiration for this recipe.<br />
<br />
The weather is heating up and I know you all are anxious for a cool and cream treat!<br />

Ingredients:</h3>
<br />
2 1/2 cups whipping cream<br />
1 cup unsweetened almond milk<br />
1/2 cup erythritol (or Swerve)<br />
4 large eggs<br />
2 Tbs. vodka (optional, but it does help with prevent iciness)<br />
2 Tbs. vegetable glycerin (optional, helps keep the ice cream scoopable)<br />
3/4 tsp. mint extract<br />

<h3>
<br />Directions:</h3>
<br />
In a large bowl, put the eggs and erythritol and beat until thick and creamy.<br />
I used my kitchen aid for this job, but I've also used a hand mixer, it just takes longer with the latter.<br />
While the eggs and sugar are beating, measure out the cream and almond milk.<br />
When the egg mixture is thick and yellow, add the cream and almond milk, vodka, vegetable glycerin, mint extract, food coloring, xanthan gum and liquid stevia.<br />

Pour the mixture into the canister of your ice cream maker.<br />

<br />
I adore all things lemon. I can't get enough of it! <br />
<br />
I learned about lemon curd several years ago, and I have been obsessed with it ever since. It is so versatile. It can be used as a tart filling, topping for yogurt, a spread for scones, filling for cake layers, you get the idea! Shoot, I just eat it from the jar with a spoon when I think no one is watching!<br />
<br />
Like many home cooks, I joined the Instant Pot craze and purchased my Instant Pot as a Black Friday special last year. It is a great appliance and I have made several batches of yogurt as well as lemon curd in it.<br />
<br />
Last weekend I was at my local Costco and bought this bag of lovely Meyer Lemons. I had never had Meyer Lemons and now I know what all the excitement is around these lovely lemons is all about. They are a lemon and mandarin orange mix. They are sweeter than regular lemons and have a smoother skin. Regardless of their pedigree, I have a bag of these beauties so there will be more lemon recipes coming from my kitchen!<br />
<br />
You can always make this recipe in a traditional manner, rather than low carb by using granulated sugar instead of erythritol. Of course you can still use regular lemons for this recipe as well, but if you can find the Meyer Lemons, it will be extra special and I guarantee you will enjoy the results.<br />

In the bowl of a food processor, mix the butter and erythritol until fluffy.<br />
<br />

<br />
Add the egg yolks and continue to mix until fully incorporated. Add the remaining eggs one at a time, blending thoroughly after each addition. Open the bowl, scrape down the sides and blend for an additional minute.<br />
<br />

<br />
Add the lemon juice and blend another minute or two. The mixture will look curdled, but don't worry. It will be fine after it cooks.<br />
<br />

<br />
Put the wire rack in the bottom of the Instant Pot and add 1 1/2 cups water.<br />
<br />
Pour the lemon mixture into a round ceramic dish that will fit inside of the instant pot. I used a souffle dish that I have that fits perfectly. <br />
<br />
Put the lid on the Instant Pot and lock it into place. Close the pressure valve.<br />
Using the manual setting, adjust to 10 minutes on high heat. <br />
After it is finished cooking, let the pressure naturally release for 10 minutes.<br />
After 10 minutes, open the valve to release any remaining pressure. Remove the lid and with hot pads, remove the rack and dish of lemon curd from the Instant Pot.<br />

Ladle into pint mason jars and let cool to room temperature. Refrigerate overnight. <br />
Curd can also be frozen but honestly it never last long enough at my house to freeze!<br />

<br />
This recipe is an updated makeover of one I posted back in 2011. Since that time I've shifted to a low carb way of eating to help lose a few pounds and yet satisfy my sweet tooth now and then.<br />
<br />
I've also learned some new techniques since that time that will make this ice cream easier to make for beginners, since it doesn't require tempering the eggs.<br />
<br />
Before you get started you will need to make a batch of <a href="http://whatscookingatcathys.blogspot.com/2013/12/low-carb-snickerdoodle-cookies.html" target="_blank">Low Carb Snickerdoodle Cookies</a>. <br />

I've made regular ones, low carb ones and ice cream!<br />
All have been tasty and the regular ones that I took to work disappeared in minutes!<br />
<br />
The low carb ones, I used in an ice cream recipe that I'll be posting soon.<br />
<br />
Here's my go to recipe for Snickerdoodles. It is the one we always made at home. I have always had success with it and hope you enjoy it to nosh on with your hot tea or coffee!<br />

<h3>
Ingredients:</h3>
<br />
1 cup butter<br />
2/3 cup granulated sugar<br />
1/2 cup light brown sugar<br />
1 egg<br />
1 egg yolk<br />
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract<br />
1 teaspoons cream of tartar<br />
1 teaspoon baking soda<br />
1/2 teaspoon salt<br />
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon<br />
2 2/4 cups sifted all purpose flour<br />
<h4>
<br />Cinnamon Sugar for Rolling:</h4>
<br />
1/4 cup sugar<br />
2 Tablespoons ground cinnamon<br />
<br />
<h3>
Directions:</h3>
<br />
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.<br />
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside. (The parchment is my addition, we made them without this fantastic baking aid. If you don't have parchment, bake the cookies on an ungreased cookie sheet.)<br />
<br />
In a large bowl, cream the butter, granulated and brown sugar until creamy.<br />
<br />

<br />
Add in the egg, egg yolk and vanilla and mix well to incorporate. Scrape down the bowl as needed.<br />
Add in the baking soda, cream of tartar, salt and cinnamon and mix until combined.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Add the flour. With the mixer on low speed mix just until all ingredients are combined.<br />

<br />
Mix the Cinnamon Sugar in a small bowl and set aside.<br />
<br />
With a small cookie scoop, scoop out the dough and roll into balls. If you don't have a scoop, just use a spoon and make the balls about the size of a quarter in diameter. Scoop out and roll enough balls to fill the cookie sheet. <br />

Bake 10-12 minutes. Upon removing the cookies from the oven, slide them, parchment and all onto a cooling rack. I get 4 dozen cookies from this recipe.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I absolutely love these bagel dogs!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">While I have not always been a big bread eater, finding something that is bread like while trying to embrace a low carb way of eating hasn't been easy. These little gems do the trick!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">There are links all over the web for these, so this is not my recipe. I have made them several times though and today while making them, I decided I should take the time to shoot the photographs for a blog entry. It's been a while since I've shared a recipe, so I'll end the long dry spell here and now. Definitely give these a try, big kids and little kids both will love these. They pack well and reheat quickly whether you are taking them in your lunch box or if you just want a quick supper or snack. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I do have one tip if you take them to work for lunch, be sure to check your teeth after lunch. Those little poppy seeds get into your teeth and of course no one will tell you that you have poppy seeds in your teeth when you flash a big smile!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">That's a mighty big name for this recipe and the recipe is somewhat detailed, but it is worth every ounce of effort. Especially if you love shepherd's pie and are on a low carb eating plan.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I have to show you my newest kitchen gadget that I bought at the class this past week. It chops garlic and make pretty quick work of 4 cloves! I love it! It is so easy and you pop it right into the dishwasher (top shelf for cleanup). It looks like a cute little robot.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Since the sneak peek photo has some of you anxious for the recipe, I'll not spend a lot of time on an intro, other than this is a low carb version of a recipe I received in an authentic Irish cooking class this past week. It was a fun class with several tasty dishes, but hands down this one was my favorite. So much so that I had to alter it for low carb. The dish we sampled was made with smoked chicken thighs and the smoky flavor came through the dish. I had grilled chicken breasts in the fridge from earlier in the week that I chopped up and put into this dish. I also substituted the peas with asparagus and added celery.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This was my first go at making mashed cauliflower. Up until today, I've not been fan, but this dish has won me over. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I hope you enjoy the recipe!</span><br />

<h3>
<span style="font-size: large;">Cauliflower Colcannon</span></h3>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: large;">Ingredients:</span></h3>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">4 Tablespoon unsalted butter</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">3 cups chopped cabbage</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">3 cloves finely minced garlic</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2 teaspoons minced chives</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/3 cup heavy cream</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/2 teaspoon salt</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/2 teaspoon black pepper</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/4 cup finely chopped bacon</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: large;">Directions:</span></h3>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Add the cauliflower florets to a pan of boiling water and steam them until they are tender.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Put them in a colander and set aside. Add the butter to the pan along with the 3 cups of chopped cabbage. Cook the cabbage until it has wilted down. Add the minced garlic and minced chives and stir.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Next, put the cooked cauliflower into a blender along with the heavy cream, adding a bit at a time to get the right consistency. It will maybe take a little less depending on the size of your cauliflower. Just remember, you can always add more, but it's hard to take away! Add the cauliflower puree to the pan with the cabbage along with the salt and pepper well.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: large;">Final Assembly:</span></h3>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Spoon the cauliflower onto the top of the chicken mixture in the iron skillet. Smoothing it evenly over the top. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Happy New Year!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It has been a brutal week for me as I'm trying to fight off a cold. At this point, I think the cold is winning! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So I've been drinking a lot of fluids eating soups, etc. and as a result, the organic bananas I bought at the store have gone from a shining golden yellow to a not so lovely black. So I knew there was some baking in my future! I didn't want to toss the entire bunch of bananas and immediately mom's banana cookies came to mind. My brother was always a bigger fan than I of those cookies, but with dying bananas begging for use on the counter, I decided I'd dig out the recipe and make them and freeze them for later.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Well, that was a great plan, but it had one fatal flaw. I could not find the recipe!!! I went through every possible place that I would have stashed the recipe and came up empty. I even texted my brother asking him go through the cupboards in mom's apartment and go through her green recipe card file and email the recipe to me. He complied and had the same result that I did....no recipe! So I'm thinking I'm going to be making banana bread, right? No, I didn't want banana bread, so I went to Pinterest in search of banana baked goods. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I found this recipe on <a href="http://www.sotipical.com/bananas-foster-cookies">http://www.sotipical.com/bananas-foster-cookies</a>. As with most recipes, I can't leave well enough alone and I had to monkey with the ingredients just a bit. I amped up the spices and flavorings and added chopped pecans to the recipe. It is a super easy recipe that uses a yellow cake mix as a base. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The kitchen smells divine while the cookies are baking and you'll be anxious for them to cool so you can get them frosted and sample them!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The next time you have multiple bananas that are no longer aging gracefully, give these cookies a try!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Bake for 10-12 minutes (mine took 12). Slide the parchment paper containing the baked cookies onto wire racks to cool and ready to frost. You'll notice they do spread so leave a good amount of space between them so they don't run together.</span><br />

We received our first winter snow yesterday on top of a sizable amount of sleet. Today is an inside day and I've been busy purging and organizing the pantry so everything starts out fresh and organized for the new year.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I've also been battling a cold, so the cleaning and organizing job was just the ticket; not to strenuous and I could easily pause for a nap attack. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">After a little break in my work, I was chilly and the hunger pangs set in. My tummy was rumbling and I wanted something easy and something that would warm me inside out. I spied potatoes and onions on the counter; in the pantry, a carton of chicken stock. Instantly I knew lunch was going to be a nice steaming bowl of potato soup with shredded cheese and bacon crumbles. Yummers!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This recipe is easy and quick to make. Enjoy reading through it as I go grab a second helping!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">...and oh, by the way, my pantry and cupboards are looking neat and tidy now!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">You will notice that the potatoes will naturally thicken just a little. I don't mash mine much because I like big chunks of potato. If you don't have a manual potato masher, you can use a stick blender, just give it a few pulses.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Mix the flour into the cold milk and add the mixture to the potatoes.</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Let me begin by saying that this is not a quick recipe. It is cooked in the microwave, but on a lower power. I know it seems odd to use a microwave for lengthy cooking, but this beef stew is delicious and worth it! It's very easy, you just layer the ingredients in the casserole, pour the liquid mixture over the top, pop it in the microwave and let it cook. No checking, no peeking! Do be sure you have a large covered casserole before undertaking this recipe. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I got this recipe from my mother, who received it when she took a class after purchasing her new microwave well over 15 years ago. A local appliance store offered a class with the purchase of a new microwave. I don't know that I've known of any stores doing that then or since that time. Between mom and I we have made this stew dozens of times. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The stew is perfect for chilly winter evenings, Pair it with a nice salad and some crusty bread for a hearty meal.</span><br />

Microwave Beef Stew</span></h2>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: large;">Ingredients:</span></h3>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">2 pounds round steak cut into bite sized cubes</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2 cups 1" sliced carrots</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">3 cups sliced onions (cut the onion in half first)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 cup sliced celery</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">4 cups cubed potatoes</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 can tomato soup</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/2 soup can of water</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 Tablespoon sugar</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 Tablespoon salt (yes a full tablespoon, this is not a typo)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/2 teaspoon black pepper</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2 Tablespoons Tapioca</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2 teaspoons Kitchen Bouquet</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: large;">Directions:</span></h3>
<span style="font-size: large;">Cut the round steak into bite sized cubes. If you are using a frozen piece of meat, don't thaw it all the way, it will be easier to cut. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;">Do NOT lift the lid; Do NOT stir. NO peeking, just be patient and wait!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">When the time is up, check that the potatoes and carrots are done. If they are still a little crunchy, cook a bit longer.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The mixture will look less than appetizing. Here's where the Kitchen Bouquet comes in! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Add the 2 teaspoons of Kitchen Bouquet to the mixture and stir thoroughly to incorporate. This will make it a rich, inviting, mouthwatering brown.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Dish up the stew and serve. I should have cleaned up the bowl for the photo, but it smelled and looked so good, I just wanted to get the final photos and dig in! I'll try to do better next time!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Spud, potato, tater, whatever you want to call it, this simple root vegetable is undoubtedly the oddest ingredient in this candy recipe. It's fun to make this potato candy and see the reactions of folks tasting it for the first time.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I will admit that I had not planned to make this recipe this year as part of my holiday baking and candy making. However, I uncovered this old fashioned gem while leafing through the ragged, stained pages of my grandmother's cookbook while looking for another recipe for a friend of mine. When I saw this recipe, I was immediately transported back to my childhood and visiting Grandma and Grandpa's at Christmas. I couldn't wait to try the recipe.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Research to find the origin of potato candy resulted in a lot of stories and claims, but there seems to be nothing definitive. This is an old recipe and very likely passed down from generation to generation. I presumed it was maybe a depression era recipe since it is made of very simple ingredients. If anyone has any history feel free to post a comment and share it with all of us.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Don't let the potato throw you. This recipe works and is super simple to make and you have to trust me, you will not taste the potato!</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">One important word of caution. Do not, I repeat do not, use a large potato. One about 1/3 the size of what I used would be sufficient, unless you have a very large family!</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As with many of the recipes in my grandma's recipe book, it lists ingredients, not necessarily measurements and not much in the way of instructions. So there aren't quantities included, I had to make things up as I went along. Don't let this deter you from trying this recipe. I'll share my tips from the lessons learned and you can adapt and have some fun too!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Potato Candy</span></h2>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: large;">Ingredients:</span></h3>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">1 small potato - I would recommend one no larger than 2" in diameter</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 Tablespoon butter</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 teaspoon vanilla extract</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Powdered Sugar - Make sure you have 2-4 pounds on hand; it's better to have too much on hand than not enough!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Creamy Peanut Butter</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: large;">Directions:</span></h3>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Peel the potato. Slice it and cover with water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Drain the water from the potato.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Mash with a potato masher or fork. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Add the butter and vanilla and continue mashing until the mixture is smooth. You do not want any lumps.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Add a cup or so of powdered sugar, staring to incorporate it into the potato. The consistency will be very liquid like as a result of the sugar dissolving. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Continue to add the sugar, stirring it in to blend well. Eventually, the mixture will thicken. Continue to add sugar until the mixture forms a ball. You are going for a pie dough consistency. I ran out of powdered sugar so mine wasn't quite the consistency it needed to be and it was a bit too sticky.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Divide the dough into smaller amounts.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Place a sheet of parchment paper on the counter and spray it with non-stick spray. Place the first ball of "dough" on the parchment and cover with another sprayed piece of parchment. Use your rolling pin to roll the dough evenly to a 1/4-inch thickness.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Remove the top sheet of parchment. As you can see from the photo, mine was a bit sticky. I learned the trick of spraying the non-stick spray onto the parchment paper after the first couple of rollings.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I can't remember a Christmas that I didn't make these. I have such a hard time staying out of them; the sweet crunch is like a magnet, pulling me to the bowl every time I'm in the kitchen!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I don't have a story or specific memory to go along with this recipe, they have simply been a part of my Christmas baking for a long time. They have been enjoyed by many and the recipe has been shared numerous times. They are great to take to work for a holiday celebration. They would also make a great hostess gift for all of those holiday gatherings. And let's not forget our co-workers or employees, they will appreciate your thoughtfulness!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">As I mentioned in my earlier post for Sugar Cookies, this recipe is perfect for using those leftover egg whites you have after you make cookies! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I get the 2 pound bags of pecans from Costco, if you want to make a smaller quantity, just divide the recipe in half and you'll be all set. Trust me though, with all the nibbling and gifting, you'll need to make all 2 pounds! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Have a Holly Jolly and Nutty Christmas!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">When done, remove from the oven to cool. They will crisp up as they cool, so don't be worried if they are a little chewy right out of the oven, give them time to cool and they will be fine. Once cool, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks....but I bet they don't last that long!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It's the time of year when visions of all kinds of sweet things dance through our heads. Our tried and true favorites we make every year plus the new recipes we're enticed with on Pinterest, in magazines, or cook books. Like most of you, I have my favorites. One is a drop sugar cookie that is so light and crispy, you can snarf down the whole batch before you realize what you've done! Cut out sugar cookies have never been my favorite. I remember making them with mom as a kid, and we ate them, but as a kid...it was about the sugar. I didn't care much about things like texture, lightness, or that they were mostly like eating sweetened cardboard. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Now that you knowing my feelings about how most cutout sugar cookies have texture and taste like cardboard, this post will seem odd. I had not planned to make sugar cookies this year, and definitely not cut out sugar cookies. However, I found these beautiful cookie cutters at William's Sonoma and well, I have to use them. I plead my case for a tasty Sugar Cookie recipe asking my Facebook friends if anyone had one they would be willing to share and my friend Connie came to my rescue. Connie and I grew up in the same small town and played together as children. I remember swimming in her backyard pool and us gushing over teenage heart throbs Bobbie Sherman and David Cassidy (yes, that has been a few years ago), but all good memories!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Not only did Connie come to my rescue with her recipe, the recipe is super easy to make! If you have a food processor, you will have your cookie dough mixed up and ready to go in less than 10 minutes and clean up is easy too because it's all done in the food processor.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I have to admit in looking at a lot of sugar cookie recipes, this is the only one I've seen that is made with only egg yolks. Don't discount the recipe because you don't know what to do with the egg whites. You can use the leftover egg whites to make some <a href="http://whatscookingatcathys.blogspot.com/2015/12/cinnamon-sugared-pecans.html" target="_blank">Cinnamon Sugar Pecans.</a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I am so excited to have a rolled Sugar Cookie recipe and with Connie's permission, you can have it too! Thank you Connie! Merry Christmas!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">While the oven is preheating, remove the rolled dough from the fridge.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Dust your cookie cutters with more confectioner's sugar and cut out the cookies, removing excess dough. Leave the cookies on the parchment sheet on the cookie sheet. Transfer the cookies to the oven and bake 10 minutes, watching them closely so they don't brown. Carefully slide the parchment and the cookies from the cookie sheet to a cooling rack to cool. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">While the cookies are baking, continue cutting the cookies from the remaining chilled dough. Transfer the parchment to the cookie sheet and bake. Take the dough trimmings and knead them back together and roll out and cut additional cookies, repeating until all the dough is used.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">After the cookies are cool, decorate the cookies as you would like.</span><br />

<span style="text-align: start;">There is a chill in the air and fall is definitely upon us. Yesterday was a dreary and rainy evening. During the evening hours, I was cozy watching the World Series on TV and text messaging with a friend about the events of the game and hoping our beloved Royals would rally. Sadly, they did not, but the Series isn't over yet! During our text conversation, she asked me if I had added anything to the blog lately. Well, I had to confess, that things have been busy and I have just not been feeling very creative in the kitchen and no, I haven't had an entry in several months. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;">The guilt set in. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;">I have been craving biscuits and sausage gravy for the last few days, so I decided it was time to take care of that craving, and I would leverage the basic recipes for photos and a new blog entry. </span>I've historically not been a baking powder biscuit fan, because I've never seemed to master them. They often were more like hockey pucks rather than the light, fluffy creations I expected them to be. For these reasons, I generally take the easy way out and get a tube of biscuits from the grocery. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well, I won't be doing that any more! This is my new go to recipe for light fluffy and flaky buttermilk biscuits that I can easily mix up with ingredients I have on hand. These biscuits are not my recipe, credit belongs to Cooking Light. I'm excited to find an easy recipe that fits my biscuit expectations and am excited to share the recipe with you. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So without further ado, here's the biscuit recipe that can be quickly pulled together for a tasty breakfast. They would be fantastic simply slathered with butter or with some jelly or a drizzle of honey. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;">But for the royal treatment, whip up a skillet full of gravy to make you feel warm and cozy!</span></div>

Measure out the buttermilk into a liquid measuring cup, add the honey and mix well to blend. (Note:If you don't have buttermilk, use regular milk and measure short of the 3/4 cup mark and add two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar to measure to the full 3/4 mark. It will curdle the milk and you won't need a trip to the store. Add the liquid mixture to the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently until dry ingredients are moistened.</div>

<div>
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured board and knead gently 3-4 times to bring the dough together. Roll the dough into a 9x5 rectangle about 1/2 inch thick. fold the dough into thirds like a letter. Rotate the dough a quarter of a turn. Roll the dough again into a 9x5 rectangle and 1/2 inch thick and fold again. Repeat the turning and rolling a third time but this time to a 3/4 thickness. Using a biscuit cutter cut the dough into rounds with a straight up and down motion, DO NOT twist the cutter.</div>
<div>
Place the cut biscuits to the parchment on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about an inch of space between them. Gather up the scraps, and cut more biscuits, using as much of the dough as possible.</div>

Look at the height and flakiness on these monsters! I want to eat them all right now!<br />
If you use a 3" cutter and got 6 large biscuits from this recipe. If you use a 1 3/4 inch cutter, you'll get about a dozen.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Now for the gravy..... I don't have a recipe I follow when I make gravy, I do it by look, feel and taste. Today, I wrote down what I did so I could share my tasty Sausage Gravy with you to be the crowning glory on these luscious biscuits.<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: large;">Sausage Gravy Ingredients:</span></h3>
<div>
1 package bulk sausage, mild or hot depending upon your taste<br />
3 Tablespoons Butter<br />
4 Tablespoons All-Purpose Flour<br />
1/2 teaspoon salt<br />
1/2 teaspoon black pepper<br />
3 1/2 cups Milk</div>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: large;">Gravy Directions:</span></h3>
</div>
</div>
<div>
Cook the sausage thoroughly in a cast iron skillet (or skillet of your choice).</div>
<div>
Depending on the fat content of the sausage you purchase, add the 3 tablespoons of butter. Mine was pretty lean, so there wasn't much grease to help mix with the flour for thicker. While you don't want an abundance of grease, you need about 3 Tablespoons full.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Fry the sausage, breaking it apart into crumbles as it cooks.</div>
<div>
When the sausage has been cooked and is nice and crumbly sprinkle in the flour, salt and pepper.</div>
<div>
Mix thoroughly and cook for 3-4 minutes, to help remove the raw flour taste.</div>
<div>
Reduce the heat to medium and carefully you the milk into the skillet. Stir the mixture constantly and as the mixture starts to bubble, it will also thicken. Continue to stir until it reaches the desired thickness.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLDDgqvFjjfvFBAThNfClncXDiyqc8JOCyx1ZY8tI_POa987IRiV8qfhxU6n-eADUFa55JaxSoPxvAmLOTe0_f7oaAuDimuTBitdjb8SMib6Xh3cta0hInL2hLM9GgptR8Vswv3_IAZBA/s1600/Biscuits+and+Gravy+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="372" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLDDgqvFjjfvFBAThNfClncXDiyqc8JOCyx1ZY8tI_POa987IRiV8qfhxU6n-eADUFa55JaxSoPxvAmLOTe0_f7oaAuDimuTBitdjb8SMib6Xh3cta0hInL2hLM9GgptR8Vswv3_IAZBA/s400/Biscuits+and+Gravy+4.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Taste the gravy and adjust the seasonings if needed. I like my sausage gravy peppery, so I added an additional 1/2 teaspoon of pepper.<br />
<br />
To serve, break apart one of the biscuits, layer it with a ladle of gravy over the bottom half. Place the top half back on and add another ladle of gravy. Call the gang to the table for a tasty and hearty biscuit and gravy breakfast!</div>

This month's theme is our mother's best recipe. Unfortunately, the two recipes that I think are mom's best aren't suitable for the bus trip into the office.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I did my recipe prep over a couple of evenings. First I cooked the chicken, cooled it and refrigerated the broth overnight. I got a big ol' slab of fat from the top resulting from the night in the fridge. I picked the chicken and then put everything together the night before taking it to work. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Of course, I had to do a sampling to make sure it as fit to take to work <grin>. As luck would have it, my eating a bowl reduced the quantity just enough for the remaining chicken and dumplings to fit into the Tupperware bowl for transporting. I was thrilled to have kept myself from having seconds! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I can't wait for our potluck tomorrow and having another serving of this comforting dish!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">To make the dumplings:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Mix the flour, salt, pepper, baking powder and poultry seasoning together in a medium bowl.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Add the lard and cut it in with a pastry blender until the size of small peas. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">In a measuring cup, mix the chicken broth and heavy cream.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Pour about 2/3 cup of the broth/cream mixture into the flour mixture and stir until mixture starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Divide the dough in half and roll it out to 1/8th inch thickness on a heavily floured board. Use a pizza cutter to cut the dough into 2" squares.</span><br />
