Here’s another great cookie recipe!
My Colleen is an excellent baker and this recipe is one of her grandchildren’s favorites. I kinda like it, too!
The cookies are bite-sized ones with a buttery, melt in your mouth taste. Yummy!
We’re not sure where this recipe came from as it’s from the late 70s to early 80s. We know that the recipe came with cookie press from the timeframe.
Let’s make some cookies!

Here’s a second pizza dough recipe and it’s one that we prefer over the Green Mountain version that I posted here. This recipe hasn’t been changed from the original one (very odd for us!)
While browsing food items in the Flipboard app, we came across this one from the Seattle Times and decided to give it a try. We enjoyed the ease of making, how it bakes in our pizza oven, the great chew and taste. It’s perfect in our opinion.

We love making fresh stuff and that includes dressings. It just tastes so much better than the store bought varieties. The great thing is that it doesn’t take much time to put this together.
This recipes comes from our friends at Allrecipes. Here’s the link to the original version. Yes, our version has a few changes that we believe makes it even better.

This recipe comes from our friends at Green Mountain Grills. We purchased our grill in 2019 and love using it. One accessory we purchased was the pizza oven attachment. I reviewed it in the pizza sauce recipe. We love the sauce and their pizza dough recipe is pretty good. If you want to see the recipes from their site, follow this link to the pizza oven attachment manual and then scroll towards the end of the PDF.

It’s not often we’ll make pancakes, but when we do, we want to have really good ones. Box mixes just don’t cut for us. So Colleen, tried several recipes and hit upon this one from Trish’s website called Mom On Timeout. It’s an awesome recipe that deletes our taste buds each and every time. So, get to the store and buy that buttermilk!

2019, Colleen, Dinner, Soup, Vegetarian
My lady, Colleen, made this soup for me in early 2018. I took a sip and was wowed by the taste. We’ve made it several times since and I love the taste just as much as the first time.
I made this for my son and his family shortly after the first time Colleen made it for me. It turned out well except for a small boo-boo. When I purchased the spinach, I didn’t do a good job of reading the label. Instead of baby spinach, I picked out a spinach and kale combo. It worked but I didn’t care for the texture of the kale in the soup. Anyway, on to the recipe!

I enjoy a good curry. One of my favorite curries is a recipe I shared in early January 2019 and can be found here. That said, this recipe is another very good one that Colleen made in January 2019.
I’m not certain of the origin of this recipe as a search of the Net came back with lots of hits. For example, Pinterest has loads of posts about this same recipe. The actual title for this recipe is Curry in a F@king Hurry. Note that I chose to drop the “F@cking” from my recipe title.
This is the first recipe I’ve posted that uses an Instant Pot/Pressure cooker. Also, noteworthy, it’s also a vegan recipe.
So, bust out that pressure cooker and make some curry in a hurry. On to the recipe…

Anyone that knows me is aware that I like to have a cocktail in the evening. OK, maybe sometimes more than one.
My favorite cocktail is a bourbon Manhattan. I prefer mine “up” and garnished with a cherry. Most cocktail recipes call for a maraschino cherry as the garnish. It works but a booze-infused cherry is sooo much better.
You can buy bourbon cherries, however, they are a bit on the expensive side costing around $20 for a small jar of them. In this recipe, I’ll show you how to make them at a fraction of the cost.
This recipe isn’t original. We found it on WebMD of all places. Go figure. Time to make us some yummy cherries.

I never made a baked cheesecake in all my years of occasionally baking. It just sounds like way too much trouble when I’d look at recipes. However, Colleen changed my mind when she made this cheesecake. Sure, you still have to adjust temps and let things sit for certain time periods but it’s not that hard.
We’ve made this a couple of times and it’s been a hit. So, throw caution to the wind and give this one a go.

January weather is on the colder side here in Delaware. Great time to break out soup type recipes. Here’s one loosely based on a recipe from Spend with Pennies.
In our version, we added more veggies, used crab leg for the fish, and adjusted the seasoning by increasing the Old Bay and adding in some red pepper flake. We also like our chowder on the thinner side so we used half & half instead of heavy cream and used less of it but added more wine. For us, this recipe covers all the bases when it comes to chowder.
