Chocolate chip cookies is one of those fall back on recipes. As such, I thought it would be a good idea to add a tried and true recipe to my collection. These cookies are fantastic! They are soft, and remain so the next day if you store them right. Simple and delicious!

This has to be the easier doughnut recipe out there. And they taste amazing! There is no yeast, no rising time, no shaping, no rolling, no kneading, no nothing! You throw everything into a bowl, stir, and immediately start frying. Easy peasy! I saw Anna Olsen make these on her show and had to make them. This recipe is definitely a keeper.

NOTE: If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute for 1/2 cup: Place half a tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice in a liquid measuring cup. Add enough milk to bring the liquid up to the 1/2 cup line. Let stand for five minute, then use.

Had a post written up, deleted it, trying again...

No offence if I cut you. I just didn't think you clicked with me anymore, or you never updated your LJ. I feel like I give a lot of myself in here, and when I get nothing back, something's gotta give.

If you're still here, thank you. I love you. :)

This is such a fun recipe to make with kids. There's making the dough, rolling the dough into balls, rolling the balls in sugar, and then squishing in the chocolates. My daughter loved it. And the cookies taste so good. They were still soft and delicious the next day.

Sorry, I don't normally make a big friends cut like this, but back in Nov & Dec my friends list greatly expanded. Not every friendship was destined to last, and I am finding myself with less and less time for the internet these days. I was recently cut by a long time friend on here, so I guess that sort of sparked it. LJ is LJ and after awhile, new journals replace the old forgotten ones. So the cycle goes.

If you feel this was in error let me know why and I'll consider trying again.

We have been looking for this song since we first heard it on CBC's Laugh Out Loud on November 1st. I remember the day because we were in the car on our way to the UnHalloween Party. The only problem finding the song was, we could only remember half of one line that repeated over and over in our heads. The rest of the line came to me last night, and my husband found it for me just a minute ago. Now I can share it with you. Sabrina Jalees did warn that her show was about earworms. Now you have been warned too. lol

My free 8GB Zune Kit from Matchstick came today!!!!

Someone posted about Butter Braids last week. Just the name sounded delicious. I searched around trying to find a recipe for it, and was beginning to think this bread is a secret! I found 2 recipes that were close to what I thought it should be, and mashed them together.

I had wanted to do a creamy filling, but alas I was out of heavy cream and did not want to make a trip to the store on this rainy day. So I pulled out my husband's favourite raspberry jam to use instead.

I had intended to freeze the second loaf for when he comes home on leave next month, but I think I am going to have to bake more fresh for him. My daughter (15 months) and I already ate a third of one when it came out of the oven. She kept asking me for more. lol I think when I do this again for my husband, I'll experiment with a peanut butter & jam (no glaze) version for him and myself, and bake another jam one for my daughter.

The bread is very soft. The inside of the loaf just melts in your mouth. The outside has a crust from the egg wash. It's lightly sweet on its own, and sweeter with the jam and glaze. I should have used a knife to cut it neatly, but I was impatient and just tore it apart as it was cooling. Delicious!

I watched Paula Deen make this one night and I had to make it immediately. This is now a regular dish in our house, and it’s the only meatloaf I make. It truly is delicious and such a simple meal to cook. My husband is leaving the country and requested I make this for him before he goes. Boy, is he going to miss my cooking.

I don’t know what’s better… a slice of this fresh out of the oven, or a sloppy meatloaf sandwich made with the leftovers.
