Chocolate Chip Toffee Cookies/Appliance Review: Kenmore Microwave & Pizza Oven Combo

I have had this recipe a long time. So long, I can’t remember where I got it! Maybe it was printed on the back of the package of toffee bits??
I do still remember the first time I made it. We were going for a picnic with my family to the Natural Bridge in Natural Bridge, AL. It was one of the rare times when everyone - my dad, my brother and sister, and their spouses and children could all go. It was a lovely fall day! We had a wonderful time observing God’s handiwork and just being together. One of the photos we took that day is still one of my favorites of my family. One of the best things about a good recipe is that it can take you back to the events in your life where it was served!

Birthday cookies for a Felecia

I made these to share with Felecia! She just had a birthday!! You can see that I put them on one of the polka-dotted plates I got at Dollar General! Happy B-Day, Felecia! Thanks for hemming Logan's pants, too!! Felecia and Logan have done some "sharing of skills" this week!! Logan and Meagan helped Felecia weed her flower beds, and Felecia hemmed Logan's pants. I'm pretty sure Logan got the best end of the deal!! Isn't it great when God's children can help one another?! I think it makes Him smile!!

Frozen Cookie Dough

This recipe makes about 4 dozen or so cookies. I froze some of the dough for the kids to cook later. To freeze cookie dough, I scoop the dough into cookies, place them on a freezer-safe platter, flatten them (you can leave them in scoops, but they bake faster from frozen dough, if they are flattened), and pop them in the freezer. When they are frozen, I take them off the platter and pop them into a Ziploc bag.
The kids love to bake cookies when they have friends over. We have a microwave/pizza oven in our game room. It is a great appliance! We've been using ours for almost a year, and so far, it's been problem free and works great!! If you are in the market for a microwave, you might want to check this one out:

Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute - Regular and Reduced-Fat Versions

Although very convenient, commercially prepared condensed soups are expensive and may contain additives and ingredients you'd prefer to skip. You can use these condensed soup substitutes in dishes instead of commercially prepared condensed soups. These homemade substitutes are very easy and quick to make! They taste much better, too. I have almost stopped purchasing the canned versions. Using heart-healthy butter spreads, low-fat or fat-free milk, and low-sodium broth allows you to make these recipes more healthful. You can customize with these simple recipes by adding other seasonings such as garlic powder, celery salt, onion powder, etc. Condensed Cream of Celery Soup Condensed Cream of Chicken Substitute Condensed Cream of Mushroom Substitute Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 cup milk 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese salt, to taste Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; add flour and whisk until s...

Dough Burgers

  Dough Burgers Dough burgers are popular in our neck of the woods. Phillips Grocery in Oxford has received national acclaim for their top-secret-recipe dough burger. I ate two while I was staying at the hospital with my dad recently! It is the nearest restaurant!  When Larry and I were newlyweds and living in New Albany, we loved going to Latham’s for their yummy version of this delicious sandwich. Several other area cities also offer well-known versions of this unique burger. Tupelo’s Johnny’s Drive-In has the "Johnnieburger," and Corinth even has a festival named in honor of their dough burger, affectionately known as “The Slugburger.” Here in our own dear Pontotoc, we love the "Wonderburger" at Butcher Block! Dough burgers supposedly originated during the Great Depression. Adding flour was a great way to stretch hamburger meat. While possibly born out of necessity, it has remained a part of the Southern diet due to its delectable taste. I’ve eaten my share ...
