Teddy Graham Sandwich Cookies

Posted by A on Monday Aug 3, 2009 Under Baking, The Big Picture

Hi blog friends!  This is {A} this time.   Mama said she has noticed we haven’t blogged any recipes of ‘real food’ in awhile, and it’s looking like we’ve been on a ‘sweets kick’ lately, so she said to let you know we’ll have some meal-related type recipes coming up soon. She just needs to think of some.  But today, I wanted to share this cookie recipe I came up with on my own.  Everyone in my family loved them when I made them, so I hope if you make them, you do too.

Over the weekend we decided to look around in The Christmas Tree Shops. If you don’t have one of those near you, I feel bad for you.  It’s such a great, affordable place, and I always come out with more than I planned on getting. So I try not to go in often. : )  But this time we all went in – and being the season to sell autumn decorations and goods, I had to control myself with every turn.  However…..we did let the kids each choose a mini loaf ceramic pan, with the intention of letting them bake some mini loaves on Sunday.

Sunday got away in terms of baking.  So then… Continue reading

I want to make Vegetable Soup!

Posted by Laura on Tuesday Apr 29, 2008 Under The Big Picture, Vittles

It’s been good soup-kind-of-days, don’t you think?  At least it has been in these New England parts. Rainy, gray, and cold.  Well, cold compared to the first real spell of spring weather we were so spoiled with last week, anyway.  So not only does it just sound good to me, but my maternal instinct just wants to make it for my kids and husband. To make something so healthy and hearty, and serve it to them, knowing that it warms their bodies and is so good for them, just makes me sigh a good kind of sigh. The kids just love to eat anyway.  It’s like a little celebration every time.  Watching them enjoy anything I make for them though… Continue reading
