Pecan Thumbprint Cookies

December 23, 2011 0 comments

These pecan thumbprint cookies turned out so cute and they were really easy to make.  The recipe calls for a handful of basic ingredients and literally only took maybe 15 minutes to make the dough. It doesn’t make a large batch though, I only got close to about 2 dozen cookies.  I filled the thumbprints with just some basic frosting but you could use whatever you please. Pecan Thumbprints adapted from Baked by Rachel Ingredients: [...]

Super Soft Frosted Sugar Cookies

December 22, 2011 2 comments

I love a good frosted sugar cookie once in a while as long as they are super soft.  Anything hard and crumbly is just not my cup of tea.  The store bought packaged sugar cookies in the plastic containers are one of the best.  The sugar cookies are so soft and the icing is just the right amount of sweet. I happened to come across this recipe that mentions that these were very close to [...]

Lemon Ricotta Drop Cookies

December 18, 2011 2 comments

I’ve finally gotten around to baking my first Christmas cookie of 2011.  Today’s cookies are Lemon Ricotta Drops.  The cookie portion is light and fluffy with a nice almond and faint lemon flavor.  They are topped off with a simple glaze that has a very tart lemon flavor. I took the easy way out by using a cookie scoop but you can make them more uniform but cutting them out with cookie cutters.  I like [...]

Grilled Chicken Fajitas

December 1, 2011 0 comments

Tonight for dinner we grilled up these marinated chicken breasts and made fajitas out of them.  I was interested to see how the chicken marinade would taste since it was based with Italian dressing.  And it was quite tasty. Once you add the rest of the spices, it really transforms the Italian dressing.  I liked that it wasn’t overwhelmed with dressing flavor.  Just a nice spiced marinade that left the chicken very flavorful and quite [...]
