I am not sure what happened but this is really the only picture I have of all of the cookie adventures. 

I do have a ton of sugar cookie pics to post but this is all for the regular cookies.

#38, Linzer Torte Cookies, 12/21/18

I have no idea what happened but I took no photos of ANY of the cookies I made other than the sugar cookies...

#37, Chocolate Pizzelle, 12/16/18

I haven't made these since I have had my new kitchen! So I thought I would bust out the machine and make some for us and my friend Liz. They were GREAT. Not too hard, not too soft. I wanted to make the split version, half vanilla half chocolate, but I wasn't prepared to make 100 of them just before I would be making Christmas cookies. Maybe next time, hopefully in less than 3 years hahaha. 

#36, Triple Chocolate Blondie bars 12/11/18

We were having a party at work and they were providing food, we provided desserts. At the last second I decided to make a cookie bar from the recipe that was on the back of the toll house bag.

#35, M&M Pudding Cookies 12/8/18

I received an email from Betty Crocker with this recipe and thought I should try it.

They were pretty tasty :)

#34, PC/IP Bolognese Sauce, #7 PC/IP recipe 12/12/18

I found this recipe in a new cookbook I bought on black Friday from Target super cheap: The Ultimate Instant Pot Cookbook  It's 20.99 today but I bought it for under 15.00 on sale with free shipping.

#31, Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oats 10/30/18

This was not everything I wanted it to be. I think instead of using white sugar I should have used brown. I didn't have maple syrup to sweeten with.

I'm not sure how this got lost in the shuffle !

Happy 2019!!

Merry Christmas!!

#28, Ham Potato and Egg casserole, 10/2/18

I had some old frozen ham I wanted to get used up so I googled Ham and eggs and this recipe happened, 

Not only would I make this again- I might add less eggs in the mix and slap a fried egg on top before serving.  I did that one night with the left overs.

#22-Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Overnight Oats, 7/18/18

Before:

After:

Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Overnight Oats

Ingredients

• 1 medium banana(s), halved
• 1/3 cup(s) uncooked old fashioned oats
• 1/2 cup(s) unsweetened chocolate almond milk
• 2 Tbsp chocolate peanut butter powder
• 1 pinch table salt
• 
  
• I imagine you have plenty of options with this recipe: Using Protein Powder, Regular Milk or Regular peanut butter. But this is a Weight Watchers recipe so they are just trying to make this healthier I suppose. I made it as the recipe calls for- I have made it 3-4 times already for when I have to report to the building and it's great. 
• Instructions
  Mash half of banana in a medium jar or large glass; chop other banana half and add to jar with remaining ingredients. Stir, cover and refrigerate overnight; serve (garnished with fresh banana, optional).

Happy Labor Day 2018!
