My love of cooking is back again!!

I have a new found love. I have known of The Pioneer Woman for awhile but I am never one to jump onto a fad so I waited until just recently to check out her first cookbook from our local library. Once I had some time to peruse it I fell in love! I then went right out and purchased my own copy!

We have been cooking our way through her cookbook: The Pioneer Woman Cooks  In no particular order but just letting our eyes and stomachs guide us!

So let me share some photos of our yummy creations!

We also had, which isn't pictured..Hot Artichoke Dip, Chicken Fried Steak, Chocolate Sheet Cake, Marmalade Muffins, French Breakfast Puffs, Buttermilk Biscuits, Chicken Spaghetti, Marlboro Man Sandwich, Edna Mae's Sour Cream Pancakes, Meatloaf, Mocah Brownies & Cowboy Calzones. Each one was delicious!! My family's favorites are the Chicken Spaghetti, Chicken Fried Steak, Meatloaf, Marlboro Man Sandwich & Edna Mae's Sour Cream Pancakes!!

This cookbook has made me want to cook and is turning my love of cooking which had grown cold, back to warm again!! I can't wait to get a copy of her other cookbook! The Pioneer Woman

Granola bars..

My oldest daughter and I have been trying new granola recipes along with making our own new recipes...We have had some yummy turn outs and some not so much..
A few weeks ago I made the best ones yet and a recipe I plan on making many times in the future!

 mixing first ingredients in my wonderful Bosch Mixer!

nonfat dry milk powder, papaya, dates, etc..

Old fashioned oats..

This makes everything so good!! And it's good for you too!

pressing the mixture into the pans..

 I stuck them into the oven for about 5 minutes just to melt the honey and everything else together..

And the finished granola bar! They were delish!

As I mentioned in my post below on Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread we did indeed make Matzah Pizza. It turned out so wonderful! The unleavened bread was great for pizza crust and we plan on using it in the future for all our homemade pizza...

  

Well, there you have it..another yummy food posting!!
