Things I Know about Cookies

The manufacturers and business people have better recipes than people who have the one their great great great Aunt Frieda always used.

 So there's this cookbook...and I thought since the cookie sale is coming up on Saturday, I'd give one a try. The cookbook is a bunch of recipies from folks who sent them in to a contest and the people who "know" selected them as "winners". huh.

 Really? These don't look good at all. They taste OK but really are not pretty at all!

 This isn't much better, deep sigh.....darn it. They would be better with no caramel, and smashed with sugar.
Oh look the back of the coconut package has a recipe......

Mmm Yum, look at these!MMMmm

These are much better looking cookies-and good tasting too!
So I better stick with manufacturers recipes.

Scalloped Potatoes from Brown Eyed Baker

 So this link will take you over to the Brown Eyed Baker- She is pretty dang cool. She is also pretty famous over at Pioneer Woman's Tasty Kitchen. SO of course when I saw her Scalloped Potatoes recipe that has no flour in ti. I had to have a go at it. I hate making a rue for scalloped potatoes-mainly because it tastes like flour-ICK. SO these were really easy-I think my simmer was a little lower than BEB's because it took me about 40 mins to get tender potatoes. I took the pan to the Church pot luck supper last night and it went pretty well so now they'll go to Gramma's Easter Lunch on Sunday. Here's a photo of her pan of taters, I forgot to take a picture-I better remember tomorrow!

 

There! That's better! Ready to go to grammas tomorrow! 

ETA-- These are delicious! Bake a little longer than the recipe says. YUMMMM
