Cigares au Chocolat - Mower Cookin'
http://mowercooking.blogspot.com/2015/05/cigares-au-chocolat.html
Wednesday, May 27, 2015. I recently tried out a french recipe I found online. Making the conversions and figuring this out took a few tries, but I finally got it! These cookies are super yummy and once I had the right amounts and consistency figured out, they weren't too hard! I used a post on butterbaking.com. To help me figure out my conversions (it was incredibly helpful! Here's my Americanozed version of the original recipe. 7 TBS of soft butter. 1/2 cup 3 TBS 1 1/2 tsp flour (or a scant 3/4 c.).

Pirate Theme Snacks - Mower Cookin'
http://mowercooking.blogspot.com/2015/04/pirate-theme-snacks.html
Tuesday, April 14, 2015. This last Saturday I had the assignment to provide snacks for 100 people for our stake camp clinic. Our camp theme is "Embark" this year and each unit has a theme ship. Our YCLs ship is The Black Pearl, so I used the theme of pirates for the snacks. The menu was cheese sticks, grapes and carmel corn with water to drink. The sign says: "Aarggh! Be Best Mateys This Year at Camp! Thanks to Marquette and Cameron for naming the grapes! One can always go to them for a cute idea. Friday...

Pumpkin Pie from a Pumpkin. Monday, August 18, 2014. Saw this on my personal blog and realized it wasn't over here on this blog. So here it is! I just happened to have a pumpkin that I didn't end up carving for Halloween.so I decided to try my hand at making a pumpkin pie completely from scratch. I wish I had taken pictures during the whole process, but oh well. Here's what I did:. 1 Washed the outside of the pumpkin with warm water and a dab of soap. 8 After returning from the store, I mixed up the goop...

Thursday, December 4, 2014. Cherries Jubilee atop Cherry Cha Cha base. 1 lb ripe cherries. 1/2 tsp orange extract. Pit the cherries. I don't have a cherry pitter so I found a stiff straw (from one of Darrow's sippy cups) and used it to push the pits out. It worked really well actually. I also read that a small cake decorating tip can be used the same way. Melt the butter in a large skillet. Add the pitted cherries and "saute" for just a minute. Pictured without the cherry topping. 4 oz cream cheese.

Fun Santa Pancakes - Mower Cookin'
http://mowercooking.blogspot.com/2015/01/fun-santa-pancakes.html
Thursday, January 8, 2015. These were so simple to make and cute! Just use regular Bisquick pancakes, spread some raspberry jam across the top part to resemble a Santa hat and squirt the pressurized whipped cream for the fur around the hat and Santa's beard. A maraschino cherry makes the nose. We didn't do eyes, but I imagine a couple of chocolate chips would work. I was happy with the way these turned out and they were tasty besides! An easy Christmas win! January 8, 2015 at 2:08 PM. Egg Nog Cream Pie.

Creamy Green Chile Chicken Enchilada Soup. Tuesday, September 9, 2014. If we had different colored bowls, this would look way more appetizing I'm sure, but we have yellow bowls so the yellowish green soup when in the yellow bowls. We read a few crockpot green chile soup recipes online, but it was already dinner time so we decided to just wing it and make up our own. It hit the spot and was delicious! 2 cups green enchilada sauce. 1/2 tsp onion powder. 1/4 tsp garlic powder. 1 cup minute rice. Combine the...

Harry Potter Party Treats: Honeydukes Express. Thursday, February 20, 2014. We just had our New Beginnings program and did a Harry Potter theme (more on that here. After the program we had refreshments off the Honeydukes Cart (the treats cart on the train that takes the students to Hogwarts). Just thought I'd show you what we did for treats! Pretzel sticks dipped in melted chocolate and rolled in sprinkles. These were SO yummy. I loved the salty against the sweet along with the crunchiness. The recipe fo...

Peanut Butter and Yogurt Fruit Dip - Mower Cookin'
http://mowercooking.blogspot.com/2015/01/peanut-butter-and-yogurt-fruit-dip.html
Peanut Butter and Yogurt Fruit Dip. Friday, January 16, 2015. I had this for the first time yesterday at our weekly play group. One of the other moms brought this to share with everyone and it was SO yummy! It's really easy to make and so good! 1/2 cup plain yogurt (I used greek yogurt, which has half as many carbs and twice as much protein). 1/4 cup peanut butter. Warm up the Peanut Butter and the Honey. I used a small pan on my stove top but a microwave would work great too. Great for Groups and Parties.
