Christmas is just around the corner and with it comes holiday baking! Baking cookies had always been a part of our family’s Christmas. When I was a young girl, my mother and some of her sisters would get together to bake cookies. Those were exciting times; playing with cousins and tasting all kinds of cookies.
Tomatoes—every backyard garden needs a few plants. You can grow all sizes, shapes, and colors to suit your palate! Tomatoes are one of the easiest veggies to preserve! Let me show you how to make Marinara Sauce.
A simple classic Broccoli Salad is always a hit with our family and when taken to community dinners I usually bring an empty bowl home. This salad combines the best of home-cured, smoked bacon, tart cranberries, and fresh broccoli in a creamy dressing. If you would like, you can even add some cauliflower to this salad.
Homemade Pickle Relish is very easy to make and best of all you can control what you put in to it. When my garden stares to produce lots of crunchy cucumbers, I get ready to preserve relish. This relish is so tasty on hot dogs, burgers, added to chicken and turkey salad, and much more.
Protein bars are a handy snack to keep in your fridge for those times when you are busy but still need to eat. Lemon/apricot has always been a favorite of mine and i just had to combine them together into one bar. These citrus tasting bars are so good with just a few white sugar-free chocolate chips added to them. If you only add 5-8 chocolate chips to each bar it will still be a THM FP.
Who doesn’t like desserts!! And chocolate and cheesecake together, what could be better! These No-bake White Chocolate Cheesecakes are easy to make. Best of all, they only takes a few ingredients. You can dress this dessert up by serving it in fancy chocolate shells or you can serve it in a simple glass dish. These creamy cheesecakes will fool everyone in believing they full of sugar when they are not. Why not make these for your Mother’s day dessert!
Protein Bars!! I love them for a quick snack when I’m busy at home but I still need something to eat or when I’m traveling. Cranberries and Coconut pair wonderful in this bar. When cranberries can be found in grocery stores over the holiday season, I will purchase a number of bags to dry or freeze. These dried cranberries make a wonderful, chewy addition to protein bars.
