Peanut Butter Cookie Pie Recipe- Happy Valentine's Yummy Time!

Peanut Butter Cookie Pie Recipe
As the holidays are getting closer i wanted top share some of my go to recipes for all the holidays events! 
This is my husbands favorite cokie recpie and it is so easy!!  I love this recipe because it is so easy to make!! I will add a picture when i make these in the next few days! I use 2 round cake pans for mine, 8 inch, I think. The recipe make 2 pans of the cookie and I cut into small pie slices! Super easy, and has a lot of peanut butter in it!

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Ingredients

2 eggs


1 cup butter

1 cup brown sugar

1 cup sugar

1 cup peanut butter

2 cups flour

1 tsp. baking soda

6 ounces chocolate chips

6 ounces peanut butter chips

1 pk. of small peanut butter cups- add on top after baked!



  1. Cream the first five items together. Can use beater or Kitchen Aide-My favorite.
  2. When mixed well add  flour, baking soda.
  3. Mix well and add chips.
  4. Divide in half.  Put into 2- 9 inch pie pans.
  5. Bake at 350 degrees  for 25 minutes.
  6. Right out of the oven add peanut butter cups on top. When cool- put on a plate or cut into pie slices!

You can omit the chocolate chips and peanut butter chips if you want! I added Kisses to the top of my Valentine's Cookie Pie and will be dropping it off to Daddy soon!


Enjoy!! Hope you like it as much as our family, and even with a peanut allergy here, i make it for friends.




Baby legs Giveaway and review Ends Dec 22nd!! Closed

.
.





Babylegs are a favorite around my household! We use them for everything! I love that we can use them more now that it is cold!

Here is what i received to review!




Who is BabyLegs?
The BabyLegs® brand has grown from one mom's diaper bag accessory - our signature leg warmer - to a popular children's brand with essential child and baby products.



In April of 2005, a young mom was confronted with a diaper rash that just wouldn't quit. The rash needed some fresh air to heal, but she was also concerned about keeping her daughter warm. In a moment of inspiration, she snipped the feet off of a pair of socks and fitted her daughter from hip to ankle with a cool set of leg warmers. These leg warmers not only kept her daughter warm, but also protected her from the elements, made diaper changing and potty training easier, and protected her soft knees while crawling. With some fun designs and some grassroots marketing support, the functional and fashionable leg warmers that began as a solution to keep little legs warm quickly became much more.


How do I like them?

We are now in the crawling stage and are excited to have them and not the cut up daddy socks we used with the twins! Having wood floors makes this a essential in our house! I also carry a pair in my diaper bag just in case. I can put them on Nico's legs if they are cold in the car or arms and even mine if needed!




Here is Nico trying out his first pair!!
Babylegs are so comfortable!! They are super soft and have too many patterns to even  count!

Feels like: Your favorite knit blend - comfortable, breathable, stretch fabric that lasts.

Good for: Infants, crawlers, tots, and accessorizing at any age
This was a pair i had to have and love..purchased myself! I love the Skull Baby legs called the Jolly Jack ones!!  I can't get enough of these and I have been telling everyone I know how great they are! I use them on the Big boys arms when it's too cold for short sleeves but they want their favorite shirt!



Here is Reese man in the same pair as above!! He wore them all day and really liked them! He called them his pirate arms!!


Nico is wearing his socks here in these are so great!! They actually stayed on! I am a deal girl and socks are not one to get too much money spent on them but... These are worth every penny! They stay on and you know what that means with a baby. Since every pair seemed to fall off!



Last pic of some cute socks!!

Baby legs products run from $10-14 per product!

Holiday GO To recipe: Indigo Grill Corn Pudding

.
.
.



 Chef Deborah Scott created these fantastic individual Indian corn puddings for Indigo Grilin San Diego, CA. Being lucky enough to have lived in San Diego all my life till 2005 I have had the pleasure of eating here and tasting the fantastic recipes that Chef Scott come up with, and they are mouthwatering. I was so happy to find this recipe in the newspaper and that she was willing to share!!

This recipe is a go to holiday or party recipe of mine. It's easy and simple but so tasty everyone comes back for more! I love it my kids love it even with the little kick it has! It is like a corn cake, kind of. If you ever have the chance when you are in San Diego visiting check out this or one of the other Cohn restaurants  in beautiful San Diego. Click here to find out more!

Now for the yummy recipe you have been waiting for!



Indigo Grill’s Indian Corn Pudding



Makes about 12 muffins



  • 1 package Jiffy corn-bread mix
  • 1/4 cup plus 11/2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon Tabasco sauce
  • 1 cup creamed corn
  • 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 white onion, thinly sliced
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

2choices:
Butter 12 muffin tins or line them with paper liners.

or butter a medium size casserole dish 


In a large bowl, combine corn-bread mix, milk, melted butter, Tabasco and creamed corn. Mix well. Fill muffin tins half full with this mixture.



In another bowl, thoroughly combine cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise and white onion. Top each muffin with cheese mixture to fill tin. Bake for 30minutes. If using a casserole dish it could take 45 minutes to cook.
Serve hot.



(From Chef Deborah Scott of Indigo Grill)

Super easy Chocolate covered pretzels

I was so excited to try this treat out for gifts for all the little kids in out Mommy and Me group as well as the neighbors. It was so easy and they look so fancy!!


Don't they look fantastic!! I am impressed and i made them!

What you need:
Almond Bark- Chocolate and White Chocolate - found @ walmart or your grocery store
Pretzels- Large/ med twist or rod pretzels
Wax paper or cookie sheet to lay them out to cool!!
Cellophane baggies for the treats!

All you do is follow the directions on the Almond bark to heat the Chocolate in Microware or in a double boiler for the stove. Low heat is all you need!


Just dip the pretzels in one and once you have a cookie sheet full, use a spoon to drizzle chocolate over them.  A little goes a long way on this part. I have a few trial and errors on that.



When  you are done package in your baggies with a ribbon  and pass out to your friends. I am attaching my Holiday card to mine as well!!

Hope you liked the idea!

Happy Holidays,


Easy Potato Pancakes or Latkes, Yum yum yum









As tonight is the last night of Hannukah I thought I would share the best easy version of potato pancakes with my followers!! I love the holidays and especially because we celebrate both Hannukah and Christmas, or Chrismakah (as called in our home).

Potato Pancakes can be time consuming and a pain sometimes to make but here is the super easy version
as made by my Mother and I!!

Ingredients

A box of Potato Pancake mix
A package of frozen hash brown potatoes- nothing in them!
Eggs
1 Onion

To Serve with:
Apple Sauce and Sour Cream!


Start by making the box of pancake mix!! Just follow the directions..
 Here is what it will look like:

 After you make the mix add in the bag of Shredded potatoes, thawed or not! Also add 1 Chopped onion!!


 Looking good yet??? Not quite.

 OK, get your saute pan going and add 1/4 inch of oil in the bottom at a medium high heat! Take medium size scoops and start cooking,

Don't put more then 4 in at a time because they are hard to flip!




Your first batch always comes out a mess! Once you get the hang of it they look great! Wait till the edges are golden brown before you turn your latkes!

Yummy golden brown goodness!!


Serve with Apple Sauce and sour cream to dip in!! Please try it so yummy, no ketchup!! It's a sin!!

Hope you like my recipe!

Truffle Brownies- the best recipe ever!!!

This is by far the best recipe for a yummy brownie that is made from scratch and its so easy!! They are smooth, creamy goodness!!

Truffle Brownies
