For Grandma’s Cowboys And Cowgirls

There are so many ways to make chocolate chip cookies, don’t you agree? I think we all have that special family recipe that we cherish so much.

I know I do – but sometimes I feel like trying a new recipe, just for fun. They don’t always turn out as good as I had hoped, but this time I found a gem! These little cowboy cookies are so incredibly crunchy and yummy, you’ll just keep going for one more. Which is why I highly recommend making a double batch!

The recipe is very simple, old-fashioned even, but that’s how the best recipes always are. The only adjustment I made was that I used both dark and white chocolate chips, just because I happened to have white ones at hand. They turned out so amazing that my husband ate seven of them before they were even completely cooled! So I’m really not kidding about the double batch!

Quick Tip: Crumble these on top of a big scoop of vanilla ice cream – heaven!

When I was young, I really wanted to learn how to make southern dishes. To start, I wanted to make biscuits. This was before the time of Pinterest and online recipes, so I had to find a real cookbook. I asked my mom for a cookbook for Christmas and she gave me an Anne of Green Gables one. It had all the recipes from the movies and in that was an amazing biscuit and gravy recipe.

I decided I would skip the gravy because all I wanted was buttered biscuits. I bought buttermilk for the first time and threw away the first bottle after I opened it because I thought it was spoiled and smelled bad. After buying a second, I noticed it was the same so I asked and was told that is how it was. Definitely a lesson learned. I made buttermilk biscuits with a 3 inch cutter and baked them until they were light and fluffy. It was a yummy treat to enjoy in the afternoon with a cup of warm tea. Lathered with butter, these are wonderful. They are just as good sliced in half with some fruit jelly or cheese. This has been my go to recipe ever since I discovered it.

Hey, guys! So, I know I’m not alone in saying that homemade dinner rolls are the cat’s meow, right? I mean, sure, you can buy some frozen dough from the store and bake your own, and they’ll taste good. However, when you make your own dough from scratch, your dinner rolls taste UH-MAZING.

This is a great recipe to use because it’s quick, simple, and very TASTEE. In fact, I taught my daughter at the age of 10 how to make these rolls and she now successfully makes them on here own. They turn out wonderfully every time.

Quick Tip: For a healthier version substitute one cup of white flour for one cup of whole wheat.

There are so many different varieties of quiches out there, but nothing compares to this flavor combo. This zucchini quiche has all the creamy cheesiness you love from the cheddar cheese, milk and egg. The homemade crust is so easy to make and comes out perfect, however you can also use store-bought for a simple short-cut.

Adapt this recipe to your liking by adding in optional Oscar Mayer bacon, bell pepper, or even eggplant, however it is just as good as-is. Make this quiche the night before and a delicious breakfast is ready for you next the morning!

A Delicious Portable Pocket of Comfort Food!

Originating in England, these pasty’s – or meat pies – eventually came over to the U.S. and settled in Michigan. Now, you can find them in almost every State. A buttery and flaky dough is filled with meat and veggies, making it an excellent lunch or snack to take wherever you go. Make a large batch and freeze them for easy convenience whenever the hunger strike hits. This recipe makes 6 and bakes in under an hour – you’re going to love these!

My kids love Hot Pockets and so does my husband as he often takes them to work. However, these little pockets are filled with nitrates and preservatives. Plus, theya re expensive.

So, why not make a healthier version that costs less in your own kitchen? I don’t know about you guys and gals but I think that idea sounds mighty fine.
