COFFEE CHAT

COMMON GROUND
Great to be rubbing elbows with cooking celebrities. He’s just one of the gang!! Really nice guy! Love of good food brings us all together!

LOADED OATMEAL COOKIES
Heck let’s just do it the easy way and turn it into a jpeg file.
When I am waking up with a morning cup of coffee, I like to have something solid to go with it. Something flavorful, but not too sweet.
These cookies fill that requirement nicely! I jokingly call them my “Trail Mix”cookies. (Picture will be updated later, since it is obviously not Christmas season right now)
Recipe as I get the time to type it in.


IN THE KITCHEN

NATIONAL PECAN PIE DAY

According to Bill, today is National Pecan Pie Day….I always make one for Christmas, so maybe it’s time for “Christmas in July”!
WHAT’S COOKIN
I always post my Monday routine of LAUNDRY CORN BREAD AND PINTO BEANS, and today I got this as one of the responses. I love the idea and am going to try it just as soon as I get the chance.

GARDEN BOUNTY
The chipmunks were nice enough to leave me a few ripe strawberries, so today I had enough to make a pint of yummy strawberry preserves. They will be awesome with some buttered biscuits!

VEGGIES SERVED UP

First cucumber of the year is almost ready to pick. Waiting patiently/impatiently!!
GARDEN BOUNTY
Good morning and Happy Saturday from the Kitchen!
Rhubarb really did well this spring due to all the rain. I will be making this today.
