Wow Chow Cooking

Oh my word.  Sometimes it’s so worth it to subscribe to a billion email magazines hawking everything from automatic toothbrushes to smoker life insurance . Every once in a while, you get a gem. And this recipe is a gem. Instructables has a post about how to make homemade Cadbury Cream eggs. I LOVE those [...]

My daughter made these. Oh my word, get ready for the cookie of your dreams!! We found a basic cranberry-white chocolate cookie recipe and then, as is our custom, tweaked it to perfection. We dried our own cranberries for this (in a dehydrator, it’s SO less expensive than buying the packages stuff, which also tends [...]

Look at this! Isn’t this adorable! It’s so cute, we can’t bear to eat it. It’s still in the container, lol. CUTE!!! It’s a little chocolate-covered cherry, with a Hershey’s kiss for a head. I love the chocolate-dipped sliced almonds for the ears. Whoever made this was really creative. We got it as part of [...]

HOO BOY! This week’s FFoF is about chocolate!!!! I’ve had this *thing* about chocolate recently, even requiring an emergency dose this past week! Here’s the challenge for this week: Tell me four things that you have made from scratch with chocolate (or just candy if you don’t/can’t have chocolate). Oh dear. You may have well [...]

The kids made a luscious pie last night. We are really *into* pies lately, not having had a kitchen and an oven for 4 months! They spent a few days, on and off, during the summer, picking black raspberries for the pie. We didn’t have enough berries for a full pie (those lousy drenching rains [...]

I saw this photo and it made me totally crack up! Haaa!!! I will have to do one like this sometime! photo credit: L. Marie I made apple pie late last night on this crazy whim. It was a cold evening, and I was desperate to bake something. I enjoyed it so much I almost [...]

I found this website called TasteSpotting. WOW. The stuff looks so good. It’s a “pictorial” kind of cookbook. There are almost 3,000 pages filled with photos. You can click a photo card to view the recipe, and print it out from your Acer Aspire or whatever. Yum! I saw a lot of Asian recipes, and [...]

Break out the treadmills, girls! Have I got a recipe for YOU! I forgot all about this recipe until I found it tucked into in one of my casserole cookbooks (more on that later). It is luscious. I have tried to get a photo of this before it’s gone to no avail. Maybe next time. [...]

photo credit: FUNKYAH Cupcakes are just so much fun! Unlike cakes, cupcakes are easy to decorate. You can sprinkle or plunk just about anything on a cupcake. I was having a cupcake epiphany last week after browsing my local grocery store for sprinkles. I was FLOORED at the cost of the things. $4 to $7 [...]

I spotted these at Your Fun Family and started drooling. Oh I just love peanut butter and chocolate! Well, Melissa graciously allowed me to copy her recipe and share. We are making these very soon! Melissa didn’t say how many this recipe would serve, so I’m guessing it when I include it. Buckeyes Serves 1. [...]
