Soft Amish Sugar Cookies

Welcome to Friday! :) I hope you've had a good week. Do you have a busy weekend coming up? I certainly do - it seems to pile up all at once! :D

So, today's recipe is one I tried a while ago - see the hearts? :D Yes, it was Valentine's Day. I had to make cookies for something at church, which was cancelled. So Kenn got these. :D He was happy! They're Soft Amish Sugar Cookies from Cookies & Cups.

I didn't change a thing about them. I did find that I needed to push the sprinkles/hearts on top in a bit, or they slide right off. :) They also freeze well, which is ALWAYS a plus. :D

Let me know if you try them!

OK, I'm outta here. :D Have a WONDERFUL day, my friend! BE BLESSED!

Sour Cream Waffles

Hi! Sorry I was gone so long; I went up to Indiana on a whirlwind trip, and had to fit it in between rehearsals. I wore myself OUT, and have just been able to breathe again the last few days. Never fear, though! I've been cooking up a storm to bring you reviews! :D (You'll notice several are breakfast over the next few weeks. :) )

And today's is Sour Cream Waffles, from 52 Kitchen Adventures.

I don't have any white whole wheat flour, so I did half whole wheat, half unbleached AP flour. I also used fat free Greek yogurt instead of regular. But that's all I did differently, I promise! :)

As you can tell, we have a Belgian waffle maker versus the square waffles. It makes BIG waffles. :D

I like this recipe - which makes it a YES, PLEASE! I like the fact you don't have to beat the egg white and then add it in - my mom's comment was, "They're really fluffy!" For a waffle with whole wheat flour in it, that's pretty impressive.

There is nothing fancy about these waffles. I think the recipe made six; Kenn ate one, I ate one, and the rest are in my freezer for mornings when I don't want to have to think about what to eat! :D

OK, I'm outta here! Rehearsals are really starting to heat up; we have less than a month before opening now, and time will fly! :)

Have a WONDERFUL day! Be BLESSED!!!

Basic Biscuits

Good Monday Morning! Did you have a good weekend? Did you try anything new? :D

Today, I'm sharing with you a basic biscuit recipe from Old Fashioned Living.

I have to tell you: this is a BASIC recipe. I needed something to make for our show a few weeks ago - biscuits played a starring role in the first five minutes! - and thought these would be great. I mean, the name of the website kind of said to me, "There's nothing like homemade, old-fashioned!" Right? :D

If you need a basic, easy biscuit recipe, then this is it. But it's not a big batch by any stretch of the imagination - I like my biscuit a little higher than these turned out to be. But it's not a BAD recipe, either! If you're looking for something to be a vehicle for something else - honey, homemade jam - then this works just fine.

I didn't change a thing. :) Just so you know! I'm not going to make this recipe again; this is one that is no different than anything I've tried already. I'm looking for SPECIAL. :D

Have a wonderful day! Be BLESSED!!
