4 Ingredient Easy Cobbler

I made this cobbler yesterday trying to use up the 48 pounds of local fresh peaches I bought. It's so easy & yummy. I did have to increase the cook time from 30 to 50 minutes.



I've really been enjoying this new recipe site: Tasty Kitchen. Everything I've tried has been delicious!

Faux Pad Thai

Last night I made Faux Pad Thai for dinner. It was delicious. Here's a picture.

Note: the link is broken and Faux Pad Thai is no longer listed on the Tasty Kitchen site... I'm not sure why since everyone who's tried this recipe (besides children) have loved it! So here's the recipe:
Faux Pad Thai
By Sophie McNeil
2 packages raman (I do 3)
3 cups cut-up vegetables: broccoli, red bell pepper, pead pods, carrots and/or onions, etc.
1 1/4 cups water
1/4 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 T brown sugar
1 T cornstarch
1/2 t powdered red pepper
2 cups cooked chicken in small pieces
1 8 oz. can sliced water chestnuts, drained
1 8 oz. can bamboo shoots, drained
1/4 cup chopped peanuts
1/4 cup slice green onions

Seat aside 1 seasoning packet from noodles to use in recipe. Store remaining packet for another use. In a large saucepan bring 2 quarts of water to boil. Break up noodles slightly and add to water along with cut-up vegetables. Return to boiling; reduce heat. Boil gently, uncovered, for 3 minutes. Drain and return to saucepan.

Meanwhile for sauce, in a medium saucepan whisk together the 1 1/4 cups water, peanut butter, soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, red pepper, and seasoning packet. Whisk until smooth. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 2 minutes more. Add chicken, water chestnuts, and bamboo shoots to sauce; heat through. Add to noodle mixture in saucepan. Toss to combine. Top with peanuts and green onions. Serve immediately. Makes four 1 1/4 cup servings.





I added an extra package of raman, added extra vegetables: red onions, snap peas, red bell pepper, carrots & broccoli. Yumm!

I won a Red Letter Words Canvas Art Print!

Card Swap

These are the cards I made for my card swap last month. The theme was Fall... I did not try to use the same pumpkin stamp for each card... but as I made them, it just turned out that that certain pumpkin looked best there! I do have other pumpkin stamps!

Banana Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting

A good friend of mine has an incredible blog with quilting, craft projects and of course, recipes. I just made her banana bars this morning. They are delicious! I did bake them in a 10x15 pan like she recommends, but had to cook them for 35 minutes (10 minutes longer than recommended). Better than any banana bread or banana cake you've had!

Southwestern Beef Wraps

One of my favorite blogs to read is Our Best Bites. Everything I've tried on there turns out delicious. Today I made this recipe I've wanted to try since I saw it. Southwestern Beef Wraps Oh! So yummy!

More Pinwheels

I made these pinwheels for the swap this month. I have 4 sets of 8 to go! I was hoping to have them all done ahead of time, but I'm barely keeping up! I love how they turned out.
