Nuts

The list of nuts can go on forever. Peanuts, pecans, walnuts, almonds, pistachios, cashews, macadamia, and the list goes on and on. And although most ‘nuts’ as we know them are not really nuts at all, they are each delicious none-the-less. Nuts are perfect in breakfast breads or muffins. They go great as nut butters in a sandwich or on toast. I love to add nuts in different cake batters or in cookies too! What is your favorite nut recipe? I would love to try it if you email it to me in the future! Go ‘nuts’ with some of our Nut Recipes!

Oatmeal Peanut Butter Chip Cookies

Published 07.04.2012 | By Raven Chelanee

I have never really been addicted to cookies. Maybe the filling of Oreo Cookies, if that counts, but homemade baked cookies never really do it for me. I thought it would change when I tried the cookie dough of the Oatmeal Peanut Butter Chip Cookies. It was super delicious, I couldn’t stop eating the dough until I remembered the raw eggs and that I had to have a certain amount for company. Anyways, baked ‘em up and no, just didn’t do it for me.

Delicious Rating: Super easy recipe to prepare the dough and bake, no special instructions. The cookies are good. Just because I wasn’t addicted to them doesn’t mean they weren’t tasty. My company that they were served to loved them. I added Reese’s Peanut Butter Chips but they didn’t stand out as much as I thought they would, neither did the oatmeal, perhaps both were at odds. Try using other chips like butterscotch, chocolate, or even a chocolate mint…yum!

Chewy Peanut Butter Hershey’s Kiss Blossoms

Published 06.12.2012 | By Raven Chelanee

If you plan on making these, here is your warning: These Chewy Peanut Butter Hershey’s Kiss Blossoms are Extremely Addictive. Eat with Caution!

I must be on a peanut butter high or a cookie addiction after making so many types of Peanut Butter Cookies and just plain cookies. I know you must be tired of all these easy cookie recipes. But nothing beats the best peanut cookie except a peanut cookie with a Chocolate Kiss on it! It is the perfect blend of chocolate and peanut butter. I love how the Hershey’s Kiss doesn’t melt but softens and warms. Mmmhhhh…delicious! Plus they are so cute and miniature that you have to eat at least 10!

Delicious Rating: Simple to bake and delicious to eat. I make these for parties or as a finger dessert. They always go so fast! You have the option to roll the dough balls in sugar or not. I do half and half. Both are equally good and you really don’t need the extra sugar! Be prepared to eat a lot of extra Hershey’s Kisses when unwrapping each one!

Vegan Peanut Penne Pasta

Published 05.19.2012 | By Raven Chelanee

Pasta dishes can sometimes be complicated while others super simple. This Penne Pasta Recipe literally has dinner on the table in less than 20 minutes. I was really impressed with how easy everything was and how delicious it turned out. Almost all the ingredients I had on hand at home and so I just decided to whip something up real quick.

Delicious Rating: I rated this easy to cook, delicious to eat, and a definite on cooking again. Use different veggies if you prefer but the carrot and broccoli combo is great. Less spice for children. We had some leftovers and it was important that I add some more soy milk to the pasta when I reheated it for a smooth texture of the sauce. Let me know how this recipe turns out for you!

Classic Peanut Butter Cookies

Published 12.21.2011 | By Raven Chelanee

Peanut Butter Cookies have to be a classic in most homes. I can remember being young and waiting by the oven for the peanut butter cookies to be done. As a kid you already feel a bit special being able to make the ‘criss-cross’ pattern with the fork. Now you wait. You watch through the tiny window oven until they are done. Yum! Warm cookies fresh out of the oven are always the best. But the true test is how the hold up 30-minutes later. Still soft and chewy? Or hard and crunchy?

Delicious Rating: These didn’t stand up to the test of time. Hot out the oven they are soft and chewy. Smooth peanut butter taste and great dunked in milk. But 30 minutes or so later, or even the next day, super crunchy and hard. The consensus? Easy recipe to make & bake, good out of the oven, but won’t make again. Stick to my Soft & Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies made with Oatmeal and let me know what you think!
