Lemon Poppy Seed Scones

Last weekend I made my latest batch of scones. Anyone that reads my blog knows that I love making scones. I actually had never made a scone before my blogging days, but once I made them I have been hooked. I think that my family loves the fact that I am making them too. I usually like to bring my mom some of my scones when I bake them, she had never eaten a scone before I made them either. I thought this was cute a couple of weeks ago I made some muffins and brought some out for her and when she saw them she said to me "oh, no scones this week?"

This week both Mike and our daughter Krista requested to have lemon poppy seed scones. I have made lemon poppy seed bread before and everybody loves it so I knew that the scones would go over well also. When I looked for  a recipe that sounded interesting I could not find one that I had all the ingredients for, so I decided to settle on one that came from cooks.com. I made some adjustments to the recipe so that it  would fit more to what I had envisioned.

I have to say these scones turned out quite well. I had added some lemon juice to the scones (the recipe did not call for any, it called just for lemon zest). Once the scones are baked you top them with a mixture of lemon juice and sugar for even more lemony flavor. Then for even more lemony flavor I made a thin lemon icing and drizzled that over top of the scones. So if you like a lemony flavored scones, I would say this one is for you. Enjoy!

Amazing Orange Zested Cookies

Do your ever get into a rut? I have been in a rut for such a long time when it comes to making cookies. It seems like I make the same cookies over and over again. Yes, they are my family's favorite, but it is fun to try something new and exciting once in a while. In our house chocolate chip cookies usually win hands down for being the favorite cookie in the house.

Well I was on Pinterest when I saw these amazing orange cookies. As I have stated in past posts on my blog, Mike loves the flavor of orange or anything citrus. So when I saw these cookies I knew that they would have to go on my list of things that I would have to bake.

Last weekend I made sure that I bought oranges so that I would be able to make these cookies. I ended up making three batches, because one batch doesn't make too many cookies (I always like to make enough cookies so that I can freeze some). To my surprise not only Mike loved these cookies, but both our daughters loved them as well. Lisa and Krista told me that these orange zested cookies are now their favorite cookies.

When we visited my mom last week I had brought her and my sister Lauri some cookies to also try. They also gave these cookies a raving review. Lauri said that she will be making some for her family as well.  Who knew that these cookies would be such a hit. Now I am sorry that I haven't looked for new cookie recipes earlier.

These  are a light sugar type cookie with a citrus flavor. If you like to freeze cookies you will find that they freeze well and taste wonderful right out of the freezer (you can take my word for this). So if you are looking for a new cookie recipe that is totally amazing, give these a try. The citrus flavor is wonderful and who knows it might end up being your favorite cookie too.

Orange Zested Cookies with Sweet Orange Glaze (Adapted from Pinterest/stephanieskitchen.com)
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter (I used 2 parts butter and 1 part shortening)
1cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoon orange zest
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
1 egg

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt, set aside. In a small bowl, mix the sugar and orange zest. Rub together your fingers until zest is throughout the sugar. The sugar will become moist from the oils being released. Using a mixer, cream the butter and orange zested sugar. Add egg and orange juice. Slowly add the dry ingredients until well incorporated. Roll into smooth round balls and place on cookie sheet that has been lightly greased. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 10-12 minutes or until very lightly golden on the bottoms. Don't over bake or they will be a bit too dry and lose the perfect texture. Cool and frost with the orange glaze.

Orange Glaze:
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons orange zest
Fresh orange juice
1/2 teaspoon butter
A dash of salt

Mix the confectioners' sugar, orange zest, butter, salt, and enough orange juice to make a glaze that you can spread with a knife. This recipe can be changed to use lemons or limes instead of the oranges or use some of both. I think that orange cookies with a lime glaze would be yummy. Enjoy!

Italian Meatball Subs

The meatballs that I usually make are just simple ones; I make them like my mom did when I was a kid. They are made with cracker crumbs, an egg, a little milk, along with salt and pepper to taste, served in a brown gravy. Now some of you will say that these sound boring, but my family like them this way and we think that they are quite tasty. But since the spaghetti challenge when I made meatballs with a little more flavor, I have been thinking of different ways to make meatballs, one that would be more exciting than the ones I mentioned earlier.

A couple of weeks ago on a Saturday night we had decided that we would have meatball subs so that I could  try a new recipe that I had found. I had wanted to use ground pork for these meatballs, but I ended up settling for ground beef. In the future I would like to try these with ground pork or maybe even ground turkey. The meatballs had a variety of ingredients, one of the ingredients was red wine, so this is the second time now that I have used wine in my cooking. If you have followed me at all you will know that my cooking style is quite simple, so using wine is stepping out of the box for me. The first time I used wine was the spaghetti cooking challenge that I spoke about earlier in this post.

Believe me these meatballs had a lot more flavor than the one that I make and served with brown gravy. We served these meatballs on French bread, with spaghetti sauce, and mozzarella cheese. After the sandwiches were assembled we put them under the broiler so they would be a little toasted and cheese was nice and melted. Believe me when I say this was a wonderful sandwich and it will not be long before we make them again. Now I will not make you wait any longer for the recipe that I adapted from my Joy Of Cooking cookbook.

Italian Meatballs for Sub Sandwiches (Adapted from the Joy Of Cooking Cookbook)
Combine in a large bowl:
1 pound ground beef
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 cup chopped parsley
1/4 cup Parmesan
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup panko (Italian style)
1 large egg, beaten
3 tablespoons red read wine
1 tablespoon spaghetti sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
1/2 teaspoon basil
Loaf of French bread or hard rolls

Mix with your hands until all is blended. Shape into meatball the size you want. Heat a little olive oil in a skillet and heat, add the meatballs and cook until meatballs are nicely browned and almost done cooking. Remove the excess fat, add spaghetti sauce, and continue cooking until meatballs are completely cooked through to the center.
While the meatballs are finishing cooking, slice French bread to desired sizes and turn on the broiler.  Place desired number of meatballs onto each sandwich top with mozzarella cheese. Arrange sandwiches on a backing sheet and place under the broiler. Watch carefully so that the sandwiches don't brown too much.

Peanut Butter Scones

Yes, I have made more scones. I tell you I have fallen in love with scones. My daughter Krista is perfectly okay with this, she loves scones maybe even more than I do. It was Krista who had requested peanut butter scones a while ago. She is also a big fan of peanut butter, which I love peanut butter as well. So I was fine with making a recipe of scones that included peanut butter.

I actually didn't find a recipe that really appealed to me, so I combined several recipes to make one that sounded good. I decided to add a little topping to the scones, if you look at my past recipes for scones I usually add a little glaze for a little more flavor. My family is into frosting, I guess they like the sweetness that it adds.

These scones are a little on the dryer side. I thought maybe a little too dry, but Krista informed me that is how she likes her scones and she found nothing wrong with them. So if you like peanut butter scones I hope you try these. If you don't like icing on your scones feel free to omit the icing, it will be okay with me.

Peanut Butter Scones

2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup peanut butter
1/3 cup butter
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
3 tsp baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly grease baking pan.
Mix together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in mixing bowl.
Cut in butter and peanut butter until mixture there is no pieces of butter larger than a pea. Add the egg and milk, mix well until it makes a soft dough. Divide the dough into 2 balls. Pat each ball into 3/4 inch thick circles, cut each circle into 6 wedges. Bake in preheated oven for 12-15 minutes. Let cool on racks.

Peanut butter icing:
About 2 tablespoons peanut butter (warm in microwave until the peanut butter gets a little runny).
Add a dash of milk
Add enough powder sugar to make a thin icing. (about 1/4 cup)
If icing gets to thick add a little more milk to thin out
Drizzle over cooled scones

Chocolate icing
Melt about 1/4 cup of milk chocolate chips with a about a 1/2 teaspoon of shortening.
Drizzle over cooled scones along with the peanut butter icing

Cheese Bread

We celebrated my mom's birthday this past Saturday. It was a wonderful day of visiting with family and we had lots of delicious food. On Sunday I was a little tired and did not feel like doing a lot of cooking, so we had some of the leftovers from the birthday party. Although I did decide to make some bread to go along with the leftovers; I thought it would be nice to have something freshly baked to go with the meal.

At my mom's party I heard my sister talking about some cheesy biscuits that she likes to make and how delicious they are. I had that in the back of mind and was anxious to make some, but like I stated I was not too ambitious on Sunday. I decided that cheesy bread would be less time consuming and would probably be just as tasty.

I found a recipe in my Joy of Cooking cookbook that sounded simple and delicious. The recipe suggested that you could add some herbs to the bread if you so desired. I really liked the idea of the cheese and herbs; I thought that it would give the bread a good flavor to it. I had some dried chives which I chose to add to this bread along with cheddar cheese. Mike was a little skeptical about this bread; he told me later that he thought it would turn out to be a gooey mess. But he was pleasantly surprised, such as I was, the bread was absolutely delish!

We are having friends over for dinner in a couple of weeks and I will be making this bread for them. I have decided to add the chives again, but will also add some minced garlic as well for a little more flavor. I can't wait to make this bread for them. I hope that you will try this bread, it is truly yummy!

Cheese Bread (Joy Of Cooking)
Heat until warm (105 to 115 degrees F)
1 1/2 cups milk
Add to it and stir until the butter mostly melts:
1/3 cup sugar 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, softened
1 tablespoon salt
Remove from the heat. Combine in a large bowl and let stand until the yeast is dissolved about 5 minutes.
1/2 cup warm (105 to 115 degrees F) water
2 packets (1 1/2 tablespoons) active dry yeast
Stir in the milk mixture. Add and beat until smooth:
1 large egg
1 1/2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar (6 ounces)
Beat well:
3 cups all-purpose flour
Add and continue beating and stirring until the dough begins to leave the sides of the bowl:
2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour
Knead the dough about 10 minutes. Transfer the bread to an oiled bowl and turn it to coat with oil. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Grease two 9 x 5 inch loaf pans. Punch down the dough, divide it in half, and shape into 2 loaves. Place in the loaf pans and let rise again until nearly doubled, about an hour.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Brush the loaves, if desired with melted butter.
Bake about 30 minutes. Bake until the crust is golden brown and bottom sounds hollow when tapped. Remove from the pans to a rack to cool completely.
Cookbooks notes: For variation, add a sprinkling of minced fresh or dried herbs, such as thyme or marjoram, with the cheese. You may also add chopped onions or garlic or minced scallions, pimientos, or green olives when you roll up the loaves. For a pleasant variation, use whole wheat flour for half of the white and 2 tablespoons honey instead of the sugar.


Dawn's notes: I used 2 cups of mild cheddar cheese and a teaspoon of dried chives.

Easy Spaghetti and Meatball

 Another month has passed and it is time for another Crazy Cooking Challenge sponsored by Tina from Mom's Crazy Kitchen. It was so much fun last month that I decided that I would have to do it again this month. This month the challenge was to find a spaghetti with red sauce recipe, make the recipe then blog about it.

Every year I can my own spaghetti sauce and use the same recipe year after year. So I wanted to find a recipe that would be totally different than the one that I use on a yearly basis. I really did look high and low until I found one that was really different from the one that I normally make. I found this wonderful recipe at Becki's Whole Life

The spaghetti sauce had red wine added to the sauce which I have never cooked with wine before, so this was really stepping out of the box for me.  Another thing that I loved about this sauce is that you use canned whole tomatoes that are broken up with a potato masher which leaves chunks of tomato in the sauce. Also the meatballs are made with a lean ground beef with a variety of ingredients that leave them so tasty. So if you can't tell by my description of this spaghetti sauce and meat balls, I  want to say we loved the spaghetti sauce and I am sure it will not be the last time I make it.

So thank you so much Becki for this delicious recipe, my family and I really enjoyed it. Please visit Becki at Becki's Whole Life; I am sure you will enjoy your visit, as I do each time I stop by. Also I want to thank Tina from Mom's Crazy Kitchen for sponsoring this cooking challenge again this month.

Easy Spaghetti and Meatballs (Inspired by Becki's Whole Life)
1.5 pounds lean ground beef
1 egg
1/3 cup onion minced
2 garlic cloves minced
1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs or a handful of fresh basil, oregano, parsley finely chopped
1/2 cup panko
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper

You can also add some grated Parmesan if you would like some more flavor.
Gently combine all ingredients and shape into meatballs. Cook on the stove top in a little bit of olive oil until browned on all sides. Drain some of the fat and remove meatballs from the dutch oven to a plate.
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup red wine
Cook the onion in the fat that remains in the Dutch oven until translucent. Add the red wine and reduce by almost half.
28 ounce can of good whole peeled tomatoes
14 ounce of diced tomatoes
1 can tomato paste
3 garlic cloves minced
Salt, pepper, dried or fresh herbs and sugar to taste.
Add the remaining ingredients to the onion/wine mixture adding only half of the paste at first. Break up the whole tomatoes with a potato masher. As the spaghetti cooks down add more of the paste to your own preference. Add the meatballs back in. Let this simmer ideally one hour (longer is good), but if you have less time, that is fine, too. Serve over hot noodles, if you like Parmesan you can grate some over the top of the spaghetti. If you like more sauce than this you can also add another can of sauce or some more diced tomatoes. If you want your sauce less chunky you process in a blender.

Banana Bread Scones with Brown Sugar Glaze

I absolutely love scones. Before my blogging days I had never made a scone in my life. I remember eating maybe one though and had enjoyed it, but that was about all I knew about scones. For those of you that follow my blog you will know that I am a carbaholic. I love the fact that scones don't have yeast and they are a quick bread. After making my first scones last summer I have been hooked and am always on the look out for a new scone recipe. Now I wish I would have tried making them years ago.

When I found this recipe for banana bread scones, I knew that it was a recipe that I would be making sooner or later. As I just stated I love scones, but I also love banana bread. So to get both of these breads rolled into one I knew this was for me. Plus the brown sugar glaze adds a little sweetness which is a nice addition. I have three words for these scones - yummy, yummy, and yummy!!

Banana Bread Scones with Brown Sugar Glaze (Inspired by thekitchn.com)
Makes 8 scones


2 very ripe bananas (about 1 cup once mashed)
2-4 tablespoons milk whole or 2%
1/2 cup plain yogurt
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
4 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

For the glaze:
1 tablespoon salted butter
2 tablespoons milk
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4-1/2 cup confection's sugar

Mash the bananas and then add enough milk to make one total cup (if necessary). Stir in the yogurt and set aside.
Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Cut the butter into several pieces. Work it into the dry ingredients using a fork, pastry cutter, or your finger tips until there are no pieces of butter larger than a pea.

Pour the banana-yogurt mixture into the bowl with the flour and stir just enough to incorporate all the flour. Fold in the walnuts, if using. This will make a fairly wet dough.

Line a dinner plate with a piece of wax paper and turn the dough out on top. Pat it into a disk about 1-inch thick and cover with another piece of wax paper. Freeze dough for 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Peel of the top layer of wax paper and invert the scones onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Peel off the second layer of wax paper. Slice the scones into eight wedges and pull them apart a little to give them some room to expand. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the scones are firm to the touch and turning golden-brown on the edges.
To make the glaze, melt the butter and the milk in the microwave for 30 seconds. Add the brown sugar and vanilla, and stir until the sugar has melted (heat for an additional 30 seconds in the microwave if necessary). Whisk in the confectioner's sugar, starting with 1/4 cup. Add more confectioner's sugar if desired to make a thicker glaze.
Just before serving, drizzle the glaze over the scones. The glaze will harden after setting for a minute or two, and can be served right away or packed for a later snack. The glaze can make the scones a bit sticky if kept for longer than a few hours, so store any scones to be eaten later un-glazed. Extra un-glazed scones can also be frozen and re-heated in a microwave or toaster oven.

Killer Peanut Butter Chocolate Pie

It was our son-in-law Doug's birthday last week. I had told him that I would make him a dessert for his birthday. Doug loves peanut butter, so he requested something with peanut butter. I make a peanut butter pie that everybody loves and I have even posted about it. So I set out to find something that would be fit for Doug's birthday dessert.

I decided to stay with some kind of peanut butter pie, but I didn't want to make a large cake and have a lot of leftovers. I found the recipe that I wanted to make on What Were Eating. When I saw the title for this recipe I knew it would be the one that I would make. The title of the recipe is Killer Peanut Butter Chocolate Pie. Doesn't that sound wonderful! With a name like this I knew that it would fit for a birthday dessert.

This is not your typical pie with a crust and a filling, but it worked for me. The bottom of the pie is a dense chocolaty brownie. Then you have a peanut butter mousse in the middle, which is heavenly. On top of all this you have chopped up peanut butter cups covered with a ganache. Needless to say it was a total hit.

So if you are looking for a dessert that is sure to impress everyone that eats it I would suggest this dessert. The name really does say it all Killer Peanut Butter Chocolate Pie. You will think you died and went to dessert heaven.I apologize for my pictures. I waited to take pictures to last piece of dessert was left. That was not a good thing to do.

Killer Peanut Butter Chocolate Pie (Adapted from whatwereeating.com)
For the brownie:
4 ounces dark chocolate, chopped (I used 1/2 semi sweet chocolate chips)
1 stick butter cut in cubes
2 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
3 fingered pinch of salt
1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup all purpose flour

For the Peanut Butter Mousse:
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter (do not use natural or crunchy)
4 ounce cream cheese, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 tablespoon milk
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2/3 cup heavy whipping cream, very cold

For the Ganache:
1/3 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips (I used milk chocolate chips)
10 mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, roughly chopped

Make the brownie
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line the bottom of a round 9" cake pan. Spray the side of the pan with cooking spray and flour. Place the butter and the chocolate in the microwave and heat until melted. (I took it out every 20 seconds to stir) for about 45 to 60 seconds. Cool slightly. Add the eggs to a mixing bowl and beat slightly. Next add the vanilla, salt, sugar, and brown sugar to the bowl, whisk all together. Add the chocolate butter mixture then whisk again. Gently fold in the flour to the brownie batter until just combined. Over mixing will result in tough brownies. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Place into a preheated 350 degree F oven. Bake 20-25 minutes or until done. Remove from oven and cool completely on a wire rack, at least an hour. To remove from pan, carefully slid a knife around the edge to loosen the edge of the brownie. Place a plate over the brownies then invert the pan.

Make the Mousse:
While the brownies are baking/cooling prepare the mousse. Place the peanut butter, cream cheese, vanilla, and milk into a large mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy. Add the powdered sugar. Beat until smooth. Set aside. Place whipping cream into a separate mixing bowl. Beat until whipped cream holds stiff peaks. Working in four batches, gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture to form a light airy mousse. Over working the mousse will cause the whipped cream to deflate so use a light hand. Chill mousse in the fridge for about an hour.

Assemble the pie:
Carefully place the brownie onto a plate you wish to serve the pie on. Remove the mousse from the fridge. Gently spread the mousse over the brownie, with a spatula smooth out the top surface of the mousse. Place the brownie and mousse into the refrigerator. Chill for about 30 minutes before finishing.

Make the Ganache:
While the layered brownie and mousse are chilling, make the ganache. Place 1/3 cup shipping cream into a small sauce pan over medium heat. Bring to simmer, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and add the chocolate. Let chocolate and cream sit for about 3 minutes. Whisk until smooth and shiny. Leave at room temperature until ready to finish pie

Finish the pie:
Remove the pie from the refrigerator. Sprinkle the chopped Reese's cups evenly over the top of the pie. Drizzle with ganache. This pie must be served chilled or the mousse will deflate. Pie may be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It freezes well and can also be eaten straight from the freezer.

(Note I made my pie in a spring form pan and left in the pan. The pie was traveling so it was easier to transport in this pan. It was easy to serve from the spring form pan as well).
