A smattering of things

Posted on July 1, 2020

Going to share a few things that maybe aren’t worth their own posts today. First up: Spice Cabinet Chicken Rub Am I kind of sharing this just because I’m pleased I finally found a use for the MSG I bought … Continue reading →

Outrageous Chocolate Chip Cookies

Posted on June 24, 2020

So, first off, ‘outrageous’ was part of the title in the cookbook I got this from, it’s not my personal judgement. Secondly, this cookbook was an Amish cookbook, and the Amish don’t seem to mess around with volume of food. … Continue reading →

If you’re not from New England, there’s a fair chance you haven’t had a fluffernutter (peanut butter and fluff) sandwich before. That’s sad for you! Once you try it, you’ll be looking to have that flavor, and fluff in general, … Continue reading →

Ice Cream Sandwiches

Posted on June 3, 2020

Summer is here (except for the days when it feels like it’s not?) so it’s time for ice cream! The ice cream recipe itself allows for a lot of variations for personal preference, and then once frozen it stays soft … Continue reading →

Posted on May 20, 2020

Chocolate Syrup Layered Dessert

Posted on May 13, 2020

A surprisingly light chocolate dessert, this seems like maybe it should be chocolate cheesecake-y, but it’s not nearly so dense as that, even without counting the whipped cream layer. Good, though!! Ingredients: Crust: 60 Nilla Wafers (regular sized), crushed 1/3 … Continue reading →

Cowboy Casserole

Posted on May 6, 2020

Had some Bisquick to use up, so went straight to the source for a recipe that would kill the box for me. The recipe calls for ground beef, but I used ground turkey because…I pretend that I’m healthy? When covered … Continue reading →

Marlow

Posted on April 29, 2020

A marlow is an old, frozen dessert made in part by melting marshmallows. My guess, then, is that marlow is a contraction of marshmallow, but I can’t promise that that’s correct! I’ve made both chocolate marlow, which tastes like a … Continue reading →

Country Bread with Apples

Posted on April 22, 2020

A good way to use up some of the random flours in the pantry, plus an excuse to crack a bottle of sparkling cider, discover it doesn’t have the little plastic lid for re-sealing, and chug half you don’t need … Continue reading →
