September Recipes

139) I really liked this one but I couldn’t find the exact biscuits she used and regular frozen biscuits didn’t cook evenly. I think I may just use regular biscuits next time cut into little pieces.

140) I am not terribly fond of these. They have a slight yogurt flavor and I really dislike yogurt but the kids are loving them and they are healthy. http://www.lovefromtheoven.com/2013/05/25/chewy-chocolatey-breakfast-cookies/
141) We picked a ton of apples this fall with the intention of making pie filling…after 15 quarts of pie filling, it was time for another recipe. This was good and easy and it makes the whole house smell amazing!!

143) Another way to use up our apples.

144) This stroganoff was good but needed a little oomph. Maybe some parsley next time.

145) Oh man are these good! They are definitely better warm but cool they were good too. I was shocked at how easy and quick they are!

146) We grew squash in our garden to use as baby food but since my freezer is chock full already, I don’t have much room for any. Which means we need to cook up the surplus. I can’t actually stand the stuff but it turns out Jared and Emily loved it. This is a traditional preparation and the puree can be eaten as a side or baked with. I did both.

147) I made this bread out of the squash puree. It was very easy to make and yummy.

148) Tonight was a dreary weather sort of night and we have company coming for the weekend so I decided to make some scrumptious muffins to celebrate the coming of fall and my family. Is there anything better than the smell of pumpkin baking on a chilly night while drinking some warm chai? I think not! These are delicious! They are incredibly dense but still soft. I recommend using real butter because you can really smell and taste the butter in them.

149) A new soup that Jared likes! I think we have reached the conclusion that it isn’t soup he dislikes, it is bland watery soups he dislikes. We both really liked this!

150) These were really good and easy but have way too much sugar. I think I would halve the sugar and water next time.

151) This bread really did taste like a cinnamon roll but I did feel like it was a bit tough. It didn’t really slice well and was just a bit chewy.

152) These are pretty good. My 3 year old loved them but my 5 year old wasn’t a fan at all. I think they are a good simple breakfast though.

153) Texas Spaghetti-sorry, I accidentally saved the print link rather than the web page. My husband really loved this! I still prefer regular lasagna but this was tasty and filling.

154) When you really just need chocolate! I added caramel chips to these because I didn’t actually have enough peanut butter chips. They are soooo good! I am loving the combo of chocolate, caramel and peanut butter!

155) These were a hit! Jared really likes bbq sauce and these were yummy and easy. I thought about trying to use homemade crust but am glad I didn’t since my recipe tends to be very fragile. I think this will be a good recipe for when we need to get supper done quickly.

156) We didn’t like this at all! I honestly didn’t have high hopes but it was much worse than I thought it would be. I salvaged the chicken by removing the slimey pineapple and shredding it with taco spices and ranch sauce for chicken tacos.

157) I am always looking for the perfect snickerdoodle recipe. This one was not the perfect one for me. It was a crunchy cookie rather than chewy. It was still good and my husband loved them but it wasn’t what I was looking for.

158) This was easy and filling. We all love a good casserole every once in awhile. It’s been awhile since I cooked a meal using canned goods so it felt a bit odd but I did like how easy it was to whip a scrumptious dinner without a lot of time spent at the stove.

159) I used to work at a coffeeshop that made stuffed green pepper soup and I always jumped at the chance to take home the leftovers.We really liked this recipe, even my husband who normally won't eat tomatoes. It made a HUGE amount though! Fortunately, I think it will freeze well. I plan on freezing it in quart bags to use as quick taco filling.

160) For some reason, I cannot make big fluffy biscuits. I think I need to stop blaming recipes and admit that it is me. I can make perfect pie crust, crispy french bread, cookies that make my family drool, but biscuits are my cryptonite. These were still good though which proves that the recipe is a good one, it is just my skill that is lacking. They weren’t fluffy but still soft and tasty. And I will keep practicing.
