Jennifer's macadamia coconut white chocolate cookies

Well I'm embarrassed to tell you all but for the fourth time in about 2 months I have made these cookies. I have also eaten about 3/4 of them every time I have made them. Every time their has been a good excuse like I had to take refreshments to quilt group or something. Last night I had an overwhelming urge to eat them and so I made them and am happily eating my way through them.....actually I'm feeling a little sick. I have eaten a lot of them!!! Happy eating deb

Uncle Dan's Birthday Dinner

Last Sunday we celebrated Uncle Dan's birthday with a family dinner. He looked (more like foraged) through the recipe book for the perfect meal to suit his fancy. He selected Janette's Apple Custard Pie, which we loved. He choose Paty's Chilaquiles, Tortas , and two of her salsas-Salsa Roja and Green Salsa. They were so delicious! Dan was very pleased with himself for his choices! Just what he wanted!!!

3 new meals

Tonight Brad made us Crites' Mexican Bird of Paradise and boy was it good. Brad even wrote "yummy" in the cookbook next to the recipe so that we don't forget.

Last night for dinner we ate Grandma Farmer's apple pancakes. They were very tasty.

We also recently made Pork and Cabbage Stew. I'd gotten some napa cabbage from a produce group that I'm in and I didn't know what to do with it. I found this recipe which I questioned a bit. When I saw it was Deb's recipe I decided it was worth trying! It was delicious, of course.

Italian Chicken and Potatoes

Jenny's Italian Chicken and Potatoes was on the menu at our house a few days ago. I used a balsamic vinaigrette because that was what I had in the house. And because the dressing wasn't heavily seasoned I doubled the spices in the recipe. (To add more heat I tripled the red pepper flakes!) It was so amazing and is a new favorite for us all!!!! The chicken was melt in your mouth tender and moist. And so easy! Thanks, Jenny!

New vinaigrette recipe added to the cookbook!

I just added a wonderfully light vinaigrette dressing to the cookbook, Lemon Vinaigrette. I hope you enjoy it.
