This is the ultimate “no-brainer” recipe. I mean, really, it’s too easy… Easy Peanut Butter Cookies 1 cup sugar 1 cup peanut butter 1 egg Pre-heat oven to 375. Mix together until it looks like cookie dough. Yes, it does hold together like regular dough! (people ask me this all the time) Now, roll into balls as you normally would with peanut butter cookies. Make them whatever size you’d like, but in the photo I was able to make a total of 15, which used…
Fruit on the grill — it doesn’t get much simpler or tastier, but have you ever considered bananas on the grill? Believe it or not, this tasty treat is quick and amazingly delicious. All you have to do is take you favorite chocolate candy bar, we went with a milk chocolate bar with nuts, and slit a banana down the middle. Stuff banana with chocolate. Let it grill for just a few minutes. Serve it immediately with ice cream, whipped cream, or even plain. Now…
As Summer is beginning to wind down, the flavors of fall are beginning to creep in. If a bowl of soup and bread sound like they would hit the spot, try this copycat recipe for Zuppa Toscana.

In Volume One – Issue Two of Penzeys One Magazine I ran across a simple yet intriguing recipe for Banana Smoothies. Unlike the smoothies of my past, this smoothie was very thin and only took a few ingredients. It is a perfect, refreshing drink and a great way to sneak in some calcium and fruit into your kiddies menu. Oh, and for those who were wondering like I was, the secret to these Banana Smoothies is a small addition of almond extract. Secret Banana Smoothies…
Glazed Cheese Croissants are comforting and delicious, but don’t be put off that one ingredient is cottage cheese. It is actually worked into the dough rather than used as a filling. I added a bit of cinnamon on top. These have a unique flavor from the cottage cheese that I really enjoyed. They are best served fresh and warm. I had some issues rolling out the dough so I made it cinnamon roll style where you start with a square shape, roll it into a…
