Monday Munchies: Pecan Crescent Cookies

I have a special cold weather treat for you today. It really has nothing to do with autumn/winter, other than the fact that it looks snow dusted. And, living in Texas, we have to make our snow since it does not fall from the sky. So, the recipe I am going to share with you is this:

I love these cookies because they are so sweet and sugary. Our little helper,
Argos, does ,too.


 The ingredients needed for this recipe are not many, but can be very expensive sometimes.
  • 2 sticks butter or margarine (1 cup)
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 2 teaspoons skim milk
So, the first thing to do, as always, is to preheat your oven to a toasty 350º F. Next is to:

 If you squeeze the dough in your hand and work it for a couple seconds, it is no longer crumbly and is able to be shaped. Also, the cookie sheet should be ungreased or they will all slide to the center while cooking. Now you can stick the cookies in the oven for 12- 15 minutes. When the cookies are done, let them cool for just a few minutes, then,

 Use as much powdered sugar as you need  to coat the cookies well. Now you have a yummy treat that is sure to make your heart buzz with sugar! :) Do you have snow dusted treats you love?

    I don't know about "little helper" but Argos sure does guard the kitchen floor for any spills! And he is very happy to help clean any of those messes up for us!

Monday Meatloaf

So, on Saturday I gave you a simple baked potato recipe that goes great with a lot of dishes. One recipe that we tried it with was Alton's meatloaf recipe. Click the image to enlarge. There are so many types of meatloaf recipes out there, handed down from generations, that there is no "right way" to make a meatloaf. This is the recipe Alton Brown gave in his cooking guide in the roasting section. Here are the ingredients you will need:

Saturday Sweetly

Every Saturday there is the task of cooking the yummies for the weekend. Sometimes it will be a savory meal, like pasta salad, and sometimes it will be the sweets, like cheesecake or pies. However, every week I try to find time to help Mom cook in the kitchen, at least for an hour or so. I helped her today with the sweets for the weekend, and every Saturday I help I will share the recipe(s) of the day. Today, we made a peach pie with a crumble topping, and some home made zucchini quick bread. We started with the pie, because it could cook while we prepared the bread. For the pie all you need is a pie shell and peach pie filling, and for the crumble topping all you need is one stick of butter (1/2 cup), a package of graham crackers, and 1/2 cup of sugar. You can either place the pie filling in the pie, then work on the crumble, or vice versa. Just make sure to preheat your oven to 425ºF. (We made the crumble first.) To make the crumble, you Read More...
