HALLOWEEN TREATS!


HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

CRISPY RICE TREATS!

Quick and easy!  Just melt 1 bag of marshmallows (10 oz) with 3 tablespoons of butter in a large pot.  Melt on low heat, as the marshmallows will burn quickly!  When completely melted, add 6 cups of krispy rice cereal.  Stir and pour into a greases pan spread and let cool.  Cut into squares and serve!  I added Halloween sprinkles to my cereal mix before I added it to the marshmallows.  It makes a festive treat!  Enjoy!

APPLE PANCAKES

APPLE PANCAKES

This recipe is so quick and easy!  Just dip apple slices in pancake batter and cook as you would normally cook a pancake.  The warm apple is so delicious!  I made these this morning before my son left for school, it was a great way to start his day!  After he left, I made a whole batch more and put them in the refrigerator so he can have them again tomorrow.

CREPES WITH CHICKEN, MUSHROOMS, & SPINACH!

CREPES WITH CHICKEN, MUSHROOM, & SPINACH

Easy weeknight meal, good for the whole family!  You can make the crepes from scratch or use my shortcuts.  When you are a working parent, you need a healthy quick meal.  This dish gives you both of that!  While I love being in the kitchen for hours creating dishes, its nice to have go to meals for nights you need to eat with little preparation.

My son came home from school one day and was determined to make these cookies.  I wanted to call then Jason's chocolate chip cookies, but he didn't like that idea!  Cooking with your kids is a great feeling.  I have taught him to cook/bake, he made these all on his own and he is 10.  I am so happy that my love for cooking has empowered my children to get in the kitchen and try new things.  It is always a wonderful feeling when you create anything and you get  "wow that was great"!  He is very proud of these cookies and so am I!

HOMEMADE PIZZA!

Very excited that I have accomplished the homemade pizza!  If you follow my easy instructions, you will love this homemade dinner that is less expensive than going to the Pizza Parlor!  For about $5-$7, I fed a family of 4 with 2 pies!  That beats $30 any day for 2 pies!  The crust came out crispy and it was delicious!  For complete recipe, please visit http://luvcooking.net/pizza.html

October 4, 2013 - New blogging!

Today I spent a good part of the day updating my website, and starting this blog!  The beginning of the school year is always so busy!  I will try to update my website more frequently!  Today, I am going to conquer the homemade pizza!   My biggest problem has been the crust, so tonight is the night, it will come out crispy!  I will post pictures over the weekend.  I have also been thinking, my mom's crumb cake is so good, but what would happen if we added caramel and apples to it?  Well, stay tuned!  So that is on my agenda for the afternoon!  I better get at it, my pizza dough needs time to rise!  You can check out all my recipes at luvcooking.net
