Almond Joy Cookies

Classic Almond Joy candy bar flavors built into a delicious, buttery cookie.


Recently I spotted this recipe at a linking party and they sounded delicious.  I have provided the link to the recipe I obtained and it's at the bottom of the post. In any event I revised the recipe because I felt the amount of sugar was really way more than necessary to achieve a sweet level and I decided to also cut back  on the amount of chocolate chips. As well, the baking temperature listed kind of scared me so I opted for a lower temperature and slightly longer baking time so the cookies would not burn.

Best Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes

Image
  AS AN AMAZON ASSOCIATE I EARN FROM QUALIFYING PURCHASES Best Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes - light, fluffy, full of berries - the best buttermilk blueberry pancakes you and your family will thoroughly enjoy whether it's weekend brunch or weeknight meal time. Who doesn't love pancakes? There are so many ways to make them with all sorts of ingredients added in, but my favorite is blueberry pancakes. I had some blueberries in the refrigerator that needed to be used so making blueberry pancakes made perfect sense. My husband loves them too and he was beyond thrilled when I told him I was making him Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes. The original buttermilk recipe was given to me by a good blogging friend Mary. Her website is Bunny's Warm Oven and she bakes the most delicious treats! I've tweaked the recipe just a tad as I need to watch sugar and sodium intake. I hope you and your family enjoy the Best Clueberry Buttermilk Pancakes! 3 cups all purpose flour 3 cups buttermilk

Tuscan Cannellini Beans With Sausage

Image
 AS AN AMAZON AFFILIATE I EARN FROM QUALIFYING PURCHASES. A Tuscan inspired recipe where savory notes come from the garlic and sage and sings with the flavor from the tomatoes. The cannellini beans are the backbone to the dish and the sausage imparts its' own flavor and makes this a very hearty family meal. My love of Tuscany started many years ago in 2007 when I received the "Essentials of Italian" cookbook. Williams-Sonoma takes you through the regions of Italy giving you information on the food and customs of the regions. Then I watched Under The Tuscan Sun with Diane Lane - late to the party as it was released in 2003. It further sparked my love affair with Tuscany and was most recently reinforced with Stanley Tucci's "Search for Italy".  That all brought me back to the cookbook where I actually had some recipes tagged for making "someday".  One of the recipes in the book which I had tagged inspired me to make this easy budget friendly meal.
