It was a good time to make some Peanut Butter Cookies..So thats what is in my ovenright now...& they smell sooooooooooo good, I can't wait to bite into one witha tall glass of cold milk..Now What can be better than that?

If you can make it do it. Thats what I do and my family is spoiled by it. Homemade is so much better.

Just baked my MaryJane's sour dough bread for the week and now have in a rhubarb coffee cake from a new recipe. Looking forward to trying it out. Unfortunately not rhubarb from my garden. My rhubarb did not really happen this year.
This morning, my daughter and I made some homemade banana pudding freezer pops. We have been experimenting with lots of different pops.
Tonight for dinner: pasta with homemade, (homegrown basil) pesto cream sauce. And some garden beets on the side. We like them just plain after slicing, boiling and cooling. Tonight, maybe with sour cream (I have some left over from the coffee cake, and with all your talk of sour cream and cream cheese, I think we need the extra treat with our beets).
Sunday is usually a big baking/cooking day, so lots of dishes to do, between recipes.
Peace, Love, and Joy |

Elizabeth, homemade english muffins are delicious - a flavor that can't be beat w/ storebought - but they are much heavier than storebough (just so you know). I really like the "holey-ness" of Thomas english muffins and haven't yet been able to get that super-light texture with all the holes. Oh well - I refuse to buy what I can make! :o)

Just pulled out a batch of chocolate chip banana muffins - YUM! Tomorrow will be bread baking day. I plan to make this weeks' bread and perhaps a batch of english muffins. My oldest son has been asking for english muffins for over a week - I better get them done or there will be mutiny! Lol!! (jk)

mmmm, i bet sour cream would be awesome when blended into mashed 'taters! throw some chives in.... like sour cream and onion potato chips! i used regular cream cheese.... it could have also been that i used whipping cream (i usually use milk).
thanks for posting the recipe on your blog! i'll go check it out....

Elizabeth,
I have never tried cream cheese in mashed potatoes! That sounds awesome, if I had not already got my honey worked up for the wasabi mashed potatoes, I would have tried your recipe :) I wonder if sour cream instead of cream cheese would have made it less gummy. Or, did you you use regular or low-fat cream cheese? Sometimes low-fat or non-fat cheeses or butter substitutes can change texture.
I posted the recipe for the chili-apple crisp on my blog this morning. I'm afraid I don't have any pictures as it was demolished :)
We are just grilling chicken and having salad tonight :)
Hmmm, maybe some chocolate chip cookies for dessert!

sharon, your chili/apple crisp sounds absolutely interesting! you may have to post the recipe....
and wasabi mashed potatoes?! WOW! i think you are the queen of ingredient mixtures, as in new and improved! and i thought i was creating something crazy and new by putting cream cheese in my mashed potatoes.... ha ha!
by the way.... the cream cheese added a good flavor, but the texture turned out gummy... i wouldn't prefer it over regular mashed potatoes. but maybe if you put a dollop of cream cheese on top of your mashed 'taters instead of butter and let it melt a little? instead of mixing it into the entire mixture?
leftovers again tonight, but sometime within the next days i'll be trying to make tropical lime chicken...

i'm planning on making meatloaf and a new recipe, creamy mashed potatoes (you use cream cheese in them!). meatloaf just can't be beat as one of the old faithful, yummy recipes!

I baked some bread in my breadmaker! Tomorrow, hopefully, will be Zucchini bread or cake, if I can find some cream cheese. YUM!
Starbucks and sushi to green fried tomatoes and corn pudding-I wouldn't change it for the world.

mmmmmm! you gals are making me hungry!
Belle - that zucchini chocolate cake sounds delicious... maybe we should start a thread dedicated to zucchini... i have been looking through my cookbooks and finding some amazing recipes for zuccs for when they are ready to pick!
Sharon - your lime chicken tacos sound amazing! lime is such a great summer flavor, especially with chicken. i'm planning on making a tropical lime chicken at some point, when my peppers come up. you make a pineapple, green pepper, and whatever else to make a salsa, throw some lime in and bake it on top of chicken... sounds yummy!
the scalloped potatoes and beans came out pretty good... maybe not one of my faves, but definately a keeper!
so i'll be having leftovers of that tonight... but i think i may make a "great depression cake" later since i have some apples that are getting soft. i'll make a separate thread if anyone's interested in the recipe... i love it!

Ha!! -- I fixed some cornbread on sunday night, to go along with some bbq chicken tom was fixing..plus some rice; tom bought some potato salad and macaroni salad too, while I ran into Cato & bought a couple blouses on sale. Got it all done before I went to church Sunday night.
No wonder I was tired yesterday!!
But I got no clue what to fix for dinner tonight..last night was the leftover chicken, that I chopped up, threw in a pan, and simired (sp) for awhile in Sweet & Sour sauce..slapped that on the leftover rice an' everybody was happy. Shwoo... |

Belle - I was planning on beans and cornbread from the freezer for dinner tonight too!! How funny!
Sharon - I used to love it when my mom made bagels. She made the boiled kind and they were wonderful!
Last night I did a bunch of baking. Zucchini bread, peanut butter chocolate chip cookies and molasses cookies. I was thinking to myself, I ought to start a thread called What's for Supper because I get really tired of trying to come up with something every night. Any one else feel that way?

I baked a zucchini chocolate cake a couple of days ago. My grown kids can smell it miles away. Seems they all showed up for their share. Baked pizza last night. Baked a whole wheat banana bread in the bread machine yesterday. Today is my "day off". Made diveled eggs with boiled eggs already in the fridge, going to have some kind of sandwich with tomato for lunch. Supper tonight is beans and cornbread out of the freezer and potato cakes with leftover mashed potatoes.
Elizabeth, your scalloped potatoes and beans sounds good. Let us know how it turned out.
