Lynn Wilson-like burritos

By
These really are good. A friend here in KS made them. I haven't made them myself, but am planning on it. I want to try making and then freezing them so that they can be a quick fix meal for us. And yes, mom, I will be sure to post a picture of them when I make them.


Brown 1 lb Ground Beef, seasoned with Old El Paso Taco Seasoning (any seasoning works, but is the best)
Mix 1 "big" can of Old El Paso refried beans and the beef together to make it easier to put in tortillas
Spread beef/bean mixture on flour tortillas to desired thickness
Sprinkle on Shredded Mild Cheddar Cheese and Shredded Mozzerella Cheese
Roll up burritos and secure with tooth picks
Cook in oven at 350 degrees until desired crispness, about 15 minutes.
Serve with Sour Cream and Old El Paso Taco Sauce.

heart cookies

By
got this recipe from martha for valentine's day.  it is a mix between an oatmeal cookie and a shortbread cookie and oh so yummy.  i'll be taking these to a preschool party and around to some of my friends tomorrow.  they are reminiscent of graham crackers and chocolate frosting, which my husband and kids love, so i'm hoping they enjoy these.  the dough turned out be a bit different than the recipe claims, but i made it work.  i've changed the recipe only slightly-i dipped the hearts in melted chocolate chips rather than sandwiching nutella between two cookies.   one great tip on melting chocolate is do it in the microwave!  it's so easy and you don't have to worry about a double-boiler and all that clean up.  ina garten, the barefoot contessa and one of my cooking idols, gives a great explanation on how to do it here .  i'm sure the nutella way would be good, too.  it's just not something i regularly have in my pan...

Lime Sugar Cookies (from America's Test Kitchen)

By
Once again, no picture yet. I'll post one when I get a chance. This is a great alternative to just the ordinary sugar cookie with frosting. I made the whole batch and froze half of it for later. The cookies taste great just out of the freezer! (makes about 2 dozen cookies) 2 cups sugar 1 teaspoon grated lime zest 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 3/4 sticks unsalted butter, softened 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 2 large eggs 2 (additional) teaspoons grated lime zest Place oven rack in the middle and heat oven to 350 F. Process 1/2 cup of sugar with 1 teaspoon grated lime zest until fragrant, about 10 seconds. Put this on a shallow dish for coating and set aside. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together. Set aside. Beat butter and remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar together in a large bowl using an electric mixer on medium until light and fluffy, 3-6 minutes. Beat in vanilla and, then, the eggs and lime zest. Add eggs on...

sunday slow cooker: red beans and rice

By
in honor of mardi gras this year i made red beans and rice from scratch.  i am grateful to say that 6 years of my life took place in new orleans, la.  well, actually it was 5 years and 1 month + 11 months while we were displaced because of hurricane katrina, but we won't talk about that.  and during those 11 months in utah my heart was still in new orleans.  in case you're not familiar with new orleans, their claim to fame is FOOD.  and no ordinary food will do, no no no.  it must be GREAT FOOD.  and believe me, we had GREAT FOOD while we lived there.  and lots of it.   one of our favorite dishes was red beans and rice.  now that we don't live in new orleans, it's not as convenient to just run to the store and buy a can of already prepared Blue Runner beans.  so, i decided to come up with a recipe all on my own that used the slow cooker (it was sunday dinner and now with 1 o'clock church i'm using my slow cooke...
