These refreshing homemade butter mints are fantastic anytime. Though we typically eat them after dinner to help digest our food and let us get good sleep. They will also freshen your breath, and that’s always a plus in my book. Cause, I mean, come on. Who likes garlic breath??? Um, no one!
Ya know how sometimes you have a sudden craving for cookies….and you want them now not in 2 hours???? I’ve been having a lot of those lately with fall in full swing. These Soft Gingerbread Cookies only take 20 minute to make so they have been my go to recipe. Don’t ask how many times I’ve made it this week. Just don’t…..
I love mixing the dry ingredients together because it just smells like the holidays. Then when those perfectly soft cookies come out of the oven, I can yell”Cookies!” and count on the cookie trays being empties within minutes…..dontcha just love fall (sigh).
I basically “created” this recipe when I didn’t have anything planned. I had some sausage I needed used up and some dough in the fridge. The idea of a sort of lunch roll came to mind and I just started making it without much thought, and hoping it wouldn’t be so gross that my family couldn’t choke it down.
I haven’t bought bread in two years. Not once have I regretted it. It is a much better quality, and I enjoy being in the kitchen and having 20 minutes of peace. Though that is still unlikely. Baby boy will still probably be pulling on my shirt half of the time asking for something.
Since I am good at multitasking, and since most of bread making is down time, I try to get my cleaning done so I don’t have to do it later.When I forget to start the bread in the morning (so we can have fresh made bread for our lunch) I simply make some pita pockets so it’s no biggy.
We all know how convenient it is to have a good Broth on hand.Whether it’s for soup, rice, casserole, or for drinking, stock gives and amazing flavor to what ever dish you are preparing while saving time. Unfortunately store-bought broth most of the time contains unnecessary, and unhealthy additives. And when making your own is simple, and takes 10 minutes of your time, why not???
