Tried and True Recipes any time any day…
I couldn’t let another strawberry season pass without sharing this recipe. This is one of my all-time favorite desserts. This recipe was created by my sister’s mother-in-law who is a fantastic cook. She served this at my sister’s bridal shower, and it was truly love at first bite. I think I asked her 3 times before the shower […]
I have had this recipe for about 16 years. It is one of the first recipes that I learned to make and one of my husband’s favorites. These brownies are really moist and oozing with gooey caramel and chocolaty goodness! Top with a scoop of ice cream for extra deliciousness! Buon Appetito!
Today’s post is short and sweet. I am short and the recipe is sweet, ha-ha! Wait! Don’t go! I know that was a bad joke. This trifle dessert is worth sticking around for, I promise. I just love a trifle dessert. They are typically super easy to make and look so pretty. Served in individual glass compotes or wine […]
This post doesn’t include a recipe, but I hope it encourages you that with a little creativity what starts out as a cooking mess can turn into a cooking success. This story began a couple of weeks before Christmas. It has become a tradition that I make chocolate peanut butter balls every year during the holidays. The balls are made […]
I had about 1/2 of a batch of Chocolate Peppermint Bark Cookies leftover after Christmas so I decided to crumble them (in my brand new Cuisinart Food Processor that Santa brought me for Christmas) to use as a crust for a peppermint cheesecake. I looked through my cookbooks until I found this recipe. This Frozen Peppermint Cheesecake is a no bake recipe. When […]
My absolute favorite peppermint treat is Chocolate Peppermint Bark Cookies. I adapted Southern Living’s All-Time Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies to create this recipe. I like sweets. I really do, but I am not usually too tempted to eat what I bake. I get more enjoyment from baking than I usually get from eating. However, I cannot resist these chocolaty delights. They get me every time. […]
I hope you all enjoyed a blessed Christmas season! It was a wonderful relaxing day here at the Hardin household, and believe it or not I didn’t even cook Christmas dinner. We went out to eat on Christmas day at the galley on base. I had heard that they served a good holiday meal, and […]
I have said before that I am not a great cook, but I am a good recipe finder. This recipe is an example of that. This cake is so good and totally over the top! At our local Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society office where I volunteer, we often have themed potlucks. This month one of our creative volunteers suggested we do […]
Who doesn’t love homemade chocolate chip cookies? There is something very comforting about warm chocolate chip cookies and glass of cold milk. In the past, whenever my family would crave cookies, which was quite often, I would always use store bought refrigerated cookie dough. I admit it was pretty good, but I really hate not […]
