I’ve been craving raspberries recently and looking for something to do with them. I couldn’t find a recipe that was exactly what I wanted so I decided to use the crust of a lemon bar and make up the filling part. Surprisingly it worked and they taste delicious! Raspberry Bars Crust: 2 cups flour 1/2 […]

Butterscotch Brownies
Our neighbors introduced us to Butterscotch Brownies a while ago, they are awesome deliciousness (yes that’s a word) and Brad loves them because he can eat them. I’m not entirely sure where the recipe is originally from considering Kevin simply forwarded me a photo that was on his phone of the recipe. Butterscotch Brownies Ingredients: […]
12 Dates of Christmas – Cookies & Movies
Brad & I crossed out a couple more items on our list. We made 3 different types of cookies on Saturday; Peppermint balls, Snickerdoodles and Rum Meltaways (recipes below). The other day we were at Costco and found some DVD sets of Charlie Brown and other old movies, the sets were perfect for the Classic […]
Pumpkin Cookies
Its fall time and everything around is pumpkin flavored. A couple nights ago I decided to jump on the pumpkin train and make some cookies. I don’t remember where I got the recipe from originally; it was written down in my recipe box. Ingredients: 1/2 cup butter 1 cup brown sugar 1 cup pumpkin (I […]
Caramel Apple Cookies
I just pulled these cookies out of the oven and they smell delicious! I originally seen the recipe somewhere on Pinterest earlier this year and had been waiting for fall time to make it. Since I’ve made my own caramel in the past I almost used that instead of the pre-packaged squares; but decided against […]
Peach Pie Filling
This winter I am going to be baking quite often. Back a couple months ago, Brad and I made cherry pie filling and then earlier this week we made Peach pie filling. Something didn’t work perfectly so the jars don’t look pretty; however, I imagine that it will still taste just fine. I think I […]
Homemade Vanilla Extract & Vanilla Sugar
Who is ready for CHRISTMAS!! I’m sure I just got a few groans while reading that. Last year, I made my own Vanilla Extract and Vanilla Sugar to use as Christmas gifts. If you are interested in doing this, now is the time to get started. These two items are one of the simplest homemade […]
Cherry Pie Filling
We are finally finished processing all of the cherries that I bought a couple weeks ago. The last recipe that we made was cherry pie filling. I am looking forward to using this pie filling in the winter when the sky is dark and rainy to remember that summer is coming and it will be […]
Rum Soaked Canned Cherries & Molasses
Last Thursday, Brad picked up 35 pounds of cherries from Valicoff Farms. I got 15 pounds of Rainier and 20 pounds of Bing. We have frozen a bunch of the Rainier and have been munching through them but we needed to get these things preserved quickly. Last night, Brad and I started canning some of […]
Homemade Caramel Sauce
I just finished making my homemade vanilla caramel sauce. It turned out to be super simple, just takes a bit of patience. I first tried to make this a couple months ago and epically failed (basically I burned it). At one point, I was worried and thought that I would have to start over, but […]
