Eggnog & Vanilla Bean Pancakes

Eggnog & Vanilla Bean Pancakes by Foodiewife

Just in time for that time of year, when Eggnog appears at our grocery store, these pancakes are a nice change of pace from "ordinary" pancakes. I don';t particularly like to drink eggnog--but I love the custard-like flavor in my baked products. I much prefer to make "scratch" pancakes and I was inspired to use eggnog instead of…

White Chocolate Cherry Shortbread Cookies

White Chocolate Cherry Shortbread Cookies by Foodiewife

This recipe made the rounds at Christmas on Fine Cooking and several food blogs. The original recipe comes from Better Homes & Garden Magazine. I decided to take an easy shortcut, rolling the dough into log and storing them in parchment paper. Two days later, I sliced and baked them. Easy! They are very addicting, and are deemed a…

They are really easy to make, I guarantee that recipients of your efforts will be amazed that you actually made marshmallows.

Sun-Kissed Lemon Bars

Sun-Kissed Lemon Bars by Foodiewife

Lemon bars are a classic cookie, with a shortbread crust and a lemon "curd" filling, dusted with powdered sugar. It is said that Betty Crocker developed this recipe in 1963. There are different variations I've seen in countless recipes. I like this version, best, because the shortbread crust is made with confectioner's sugar, which…

Tender Orange Sweet Rolls with Orange Cream Cheese Frosting by Foodiewife

Who doesn't love fresh baked cinnamon rolls, warm from the oven, with gooey cream cheese frosting? I became obsessed with making this recipe when I saw it on a food blog.

Simple Stuffing Muffins

Simple Stuffing Muffins by Foodiewife

My family loves stuffing. I usually freeze stale bread, to make my own stuffing mix. But this year, I decided to take a shortcut and I bought stuffing mix. I was inspired to bake stuffing in muffins tins, and that turned out to be a big hit! At the Thanksgiving table, it made serving the stuffing much easier. Plus, you can freeze…

Candied Sweet Potatoes/Yams (Pressure Cooker Friendly)

Candied Sweet Potatoes/Yams (Pressure Cooker Friendly) by Foodiewife

This recipe is slightly adapted from “The Harvey House Cookbook” by George H. Foster and Peter C. Weiglin that we found this excellent recipe for sweet potatoes candied with confectioners’ sugar and butter. As the whole thing bakes, the sugar melts and caramelizes, becoming a brittle and crunchy shell covering the soft orange potatoes…

Navy Bean and Bacon Soup (adapted for a pressure cooker)

Navy Bean and Bacon Soup (adapted for a pressure cooker) by Foodiewife

This soup brings back memories of Campbell's Bean & Bacon Soup. My version uses less sodium, because I like to make my own chicken broth, though commercially made chicken broth is fine. This recipe is delicious made with commercial chicken stock. You can also used canned beans. I make this in my pressure cooker, but a conventional…

Slow Cooker Turkey Breast and Gravy (that almost makes itself!) by Foodiewife

There are only eight days until the aroma of roasting turkeys are wafting from our ovens. My family could happily eat turkey year-round. Give me two pieces of whole wheat breads, a small schmear of mayo and some cranberry sauce... it's my favorite…
