Oh the recipes you will see

I love food.. which is why I am fat.. ok not huge fat.. but overweight and the reason why all my jeans are tight on my behind.

I have two picky eaters in my family... my 2 year old son.. and my husband. My 2 year old likes pretty simple and a lot of healthy raw foods.. and my husband is a little bit of a "gourmet" eater.. so if its fancy he would probably like it. He doesn't like anything creamy or cheesy because he is lactose intolerant.. he doesn't like a lot of dessert things.. and there are a lot of flavors he just doesn't care for. So naturally I have a hard time making stuff that everyone likes. And lets be honest.. sometimes I am just going to make stuff that I like and I don't care about the opinions of my two picky (and adorable) monsters.

Hope you like the food you see!

Super Delicious Peanut Butter Cookies!

Ok now first off I have to say that this is not MY recipe. It is one I found on pinterest. It is by far my favorite peanut butter cookie recipe I have tried. The cookie dough doesn’t stay firm enough to press in the fork marks.. BUT they spread out and get huge and they are still nice and chewy without being gooey. I found the original recipe here http://www.momtastic.com/cooking-recipes/dessert/164457-classic-peanut-butter-cookies Now.. on this website it looks like she was able to get the fork marks.. so I am not sure what I am doing that is so different.. maybe it is that I just dump all the ingredients in a bowl at the same time and don’t do dry and wet separate at first.. but oh well… this is how I do it :) Ingredients: 2 cups flour 1/2 tsp baking soda or maybe a tini bit more… which might be why mine spread out more 1/4 tsp salt 1 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar 1 1/4 cup white sugar 1 cup softened butter (I do the “no no" and slightly soften in t...

Corned Beef and Cabbage

Well, its St. Patricks day... so I decided to try my hand at making corned beef and cabbage. I have never made it before but I was very very pleasently surprised with how it turned out. Corned beef is one of my husbands absolute favorite foods, and he says the way I cooked it was the best he has ever had. I also liked it, especially for my first time ever eating it. Here is how its done! Ingredients: Package of corned beef (you can get it at Walmart, Harmons, Smiths, most grocery stores) Salt Water 1 head of cabbage Instructions: (Now to make your own corned beef from scratch it literally takes 7-10 days to cure.. so that is why I (and most people) buy it packaged.) Take your corned beef and trim off a little bit of the fat on top. Me and my husband both have texture issues.. and it didn't seem to affect how moist the meat was. And honestly you can skip this step if it seems like too much of a pain, all the fat dissolved off anyways. Take a rack (I used a co...

Meaty Deep Dish Pizza

Tonight I was thinking PIZZA! Its the weekend, me and my husband had some episodes of Master Chef to catch up on.. so whats better than pizza?! As you can see in this picture.. there was some dough hanging over the edges.. I cut it off. This is what it looked like cut off so I decided to fold it down so the pie would look prettier. Ready for the oven! All popped out of the pan and ready for devouring. Sooooooooooo good! I was worried that it was going to be soggy once I cut into it but that liquid was the only bit that was in there.. it was not soggy at all I promise.. it was amazing. I had some spring form pans that I hadn't used yet, and thought it would be a great recipe to test them out with. So... lets get to the good stuff shall we? ☺ Ingredients for Dough: 1 (.25 oz package) of active dry yeast 1 tsp white sugar 1 cup warm water 2 cups all purpose flour 1 tsp salt 1 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp onion powder 1-2 tsp Ital...
