A simple “Blondie” recipe.
Aunt Nancy’s Brown Sugar Brownies
Monster Cookies (GF)
A simple oatmeal cookie without any flour. Be sure to check your oats if you need them to gluten free.
Candied Pistachios
Instead of almonds, I wanted to try pistachios. I prefer the pistachios!
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
A soft, cake like cookie. This is a very sweet cookie, so reduce sugar if desired. While mini chocolate chips are preferred, I think these are best with a mix of dark chocolate and milk chocolate chips.
Pork Loin with Ground Cherries
I had never tried ground cherries before, but we were given a bag of them. We enjoyed eating them raw, but Mark said he had the perfect recipe for them. He was right.
Cheese Cake
This is an easy to customize recipe! See notes below for ideas.
Cajun Okra Rice
Recently we started helping at a farm share, we enjoy bringing home fresh, organic veggies! The first basket we received had many things in it, including okra, peppers, onions, celery leaves, and tomatoes.
We had never cooked with okra before, and so we were not sure what to do with it. We found several recipes on how to cook it, but we didn’t know what to pair it with. Adrian stayed home one morning when the rest of us went out and he surprised us with this mash-up of recipes he had found online. It is not spicy, but you can add more Cajun seasoning if you like the heat.
Patmos “Amazing Oatmeal Cookies”
Andrea learned how to make these cookies while working in the kitchen over the past few summers. This is our favorite way to make them.
Pickles, Large Batch
We prefer the smaller, hand size pickles for these. Whole cucumbers do not get as soggy as cut and a lot can be stuffed into the jars.
Macadamia Nut Cookies
The white chocolate chips make these a super sweet cookie, so we reduced the sugar by over a half cup. According to our taste testers, these are the the perfect sweetness.
(Hint: While these are great cookies, Momma prefers with part chocolate chips)
