Chocolate Chip Cranberry Bread: The cranberries were on sale at the store for fifty cents a bag, so I picked them up not sure what I would make with them. This looked really good, so I had Kate (who is working on fractions) double the recipe for me. Oh my! I think we may go back for more cranberries to freeze to have this again some time. The sour cranberries in the sweet bread were so good!
Chicken Parmesan Casserole: This was just okay. It was easy enough to make, everyone ate it, but I don't think anyone asked for seconds.
No Bake Energy Bites: I had all the things on hand to make these. They were wonderful. I tried to make a second batch into a more cereal consistency--adding more oats. I thought it was good, but the kids totally caught on and wouldn't eat the cereal version.
Cabbage Steaks: So you know that I don't just feed my family new sweets, we also try new veggies, or at least new ways to prepare old veggies. This one went over well. Nate said he didn't care for it, but he also said that a cranberry was sweet. In other words, he's not a reliable witness! Next time I may add Worcestershire sauce too.
Though I haven't made either of these lately, they are probably my two favorite cake recipes:
Italian Cream Cheese Cake: This is a really rich cake with a great taste. I usually leave out the nuts because I leave the nuts out of just about everything except pecan pie... That's just me though!
and
Chocolate Cake: This actually isn't where I found the recipe, but the blog I read is no longer there. The recipe I use substitutes strong, hot coffee for the boiling water. It is gooey and wonderful. Like the Cream Cheese cake you'll only want a little slice.
