Faux Mud Pie

As I was trying to think up a fun “Halloween” themed recipe for this week something on TV caught my eye.  My son was watching one of his favorite shows and the character on it was making mud pies.  He said, “What if you could really eat a mud pie!”  Ding, ding, ding….light bulb!  So this weekend we whipped up a faux mud pie, complete with worms, sticks and rocks.  It’s may not be pretty but it was a lot of fun to make and my kids had a blast eating “mud pie”!…

These maple pecan oatmeal cookies embrace the flavors of fall! Enjoy this chewy crisp cookie and all it’s nutty goodness with a tall glass of milk!

Maple Pecan Oatmeal Cookies

Fall is my favorite season.  I thoroughly enjoy being cozy in my home with the smells of good food cooking or baking.  There is also nothing like coming home after a long day to home cooked or baked food and smells.  I believe it’s therapeutic.  When I was at the store last week I noticed that Nestle has maple flavored baking chips available for the season.  I bought them and quickly settled on trying them in some oatmeal cookies.  These maple pecan oatmeal cookies turned out deliciously.  They are more of a crisp, chewy cookie and definitely go well with a tall glass of milk.   So give them a try and let me know what your think!

Ham and cheese roll ups are quick, easy and require minimal cooking time. Plus roasted red peppers give them an awesome flavor boost!

Ham and Cheese Roll Ups

It has been so, so hot the past few days here.  So hot that I actually avoid turning my oven on which is strange for me.  Ham and cheese roll ups are a quick and easy dinner that require minimal oven time.  These are one of my kids favorite dinners.  What makes these extra special are the roasted red peppers.  They are not hot or spicy.  I love the way they boost the flavor.  I also serve these with pizza sauce or marinara.  So if you’re dying of heat this summer and avoiding a hot stove, give these a try!
