    Killer beans soup

    This is called multi-tasking. Amber, my son Zachary’s girlfriend wanted another of his favorite recipes The Non’s Killer Beans. I would write it out here too. How smart am I?!

  • Blueberry-Raspberry Oat Bars

    little girl cooking Blueberry-Raspberry Oat Bars 1

    Today Alice and NaNa made Blueberry-Raspberry Oat Bars. The recipe is from We Laugh, We Cry, We Cook (don’t forget! I’m giving away a copy!) YUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMM!! This is a perfect recipe to make with the help of little hands. You have to pat one layer into the pan. Ahhhhh Alice was in heaven!! Then adding the blueberries and raspberries is another perfect job for little hands. Seriously GOOD!! These are made with fresh or frozen raspberries and blueberries unsweetened. The whole recipe is made with just one cup of brown or coconut sugar. I was worried, that’s a lot of unsweetened fruit. But, I didn’t need to worry. These are perfect!! Sweet and tart at the same time. YUUMMM!! Thanks for reading!!

Y’all know how much I love Country Bob’s All Purpose Sauce!! So, I knew everything in this cookbook would be great…… and so far everything we’ve made has been AWESOME!! We made the Southwestern Black Bean Stew. DeeeeeLIOUS!!!!!! Why? In the middle of summer did I start with a stew? Because, first, I actually had all the ingredients on hand!

I highly recommend the Southwestern Black Bean Stew. YUMMMMMM!!!! The entire cookbook is beautiful. The recipes are easy to follow. Some of the recipes have a quote from the Bible. It’s all around beautiful cookbook. Check out all Country Bob’s items.…
