Adrian got this recipe from his Lithuanian friends while he was at Cedarville. This is a comforting soup and reheats very well. Eat on its own or with a side of brown/sourdough bread and butter.
Lithuanian Fish Soup
Ferrero Rocher, Homemade
We made homemade hazelnut butter spread and reduced the sugar. Megan suggested replacing the wafer cookies with rice crispies to see if they stayed crunchier.
“Pirate” Peanut Butter Cookies for “Talk Like a Pirate Day”
The Christie company out of Canada sells boxes of Pirate Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies which this is a copycat recipe for. Not sure why they chose the name “Pirate”, but the recipe caught my eye as we were looking for a new way to celebrate “Talk like a Pirate Day” this year. This is a combination of a few recipes and added chocolate chips.
The oatmeal cookies are good plain or filled.
Butter Chicken
Tomato Soup
Much better than store bought.
Butter Chicken for Instant Pot
A friend brought this over for dinner. It was so good, I asked for the recipe 🙂 This is a mild recipe, so adjust the seasonings if you prefer spicier.
Chocolate Covered Banana Popsicle
This was a wonderful way to use up some older bananas. It is a tad bit harder than chocolate covered bananas, but just as enjoyable.
Salted Caramel Sauce
We have made this recipe many times! It will burn quickly, so do not get distracted.
This is really good on ice cream, but we also enjoy it with hot chocolate, cheesecake and other desserts.
Egg Nog
At a Christmas party this year, one of my children tried store bought egg nog. He was so disappointed that it was nothing like this recipe that Allan has been making us for years. He was sure to request that Daddy make some “real” egg nog soon.
I know that some people prefer alcohol in egg nog, but I think it is non essential! Using freshly grated nutmeg is the best, but use powder if that is what you have.
If you are concerned about eating raw eggs, either buy pasteurized eggs, or look online on how to make them yourself.
Cream Cheese Truffles with Variations
When we first started learning to make desserts, this is one of the first, and easiest truffles we learned. Have fun experimenting with your own variations!
