Pumpkin Bars

Last Saturday was all about Grandma Warren.  In the morning I went to my first ever basket making class. For those of you who never had the chance to meet her, Grandma was a extraordinary lady who loved her family, was a great cook, and she made amazing baskets.  It was so special to learn the basics of her craft, and hopefully be able to continue the tradition.  On Saturday I also decided to make her famous pumpkin bars.  When my sisters and I were younger, without fail, Grandma would come to church with two pans of pumpkin bars.  And every Sunday, they would all be gone within an hour of coming home.  Back then it was all about how yummy they were, but thinking about it now, it was more about the time and thought that she put into making them for us.  I hope that you enjoy them as much as we always did.

Baked Potato Soup

We're starting a new tradition at our house.  Every Sunday that we are home, and our schedule allows, we will be having soup for supper.  Not a crazy revelation, but it will allow us to enjoy some old favorites and try some new recipes.  This one for example, Baked Potato Soup, is a new addition to the soup section of my cookbook binder.  Delicious!

 

Sweet and Sour Chicken Stir Fry

So I had a dilemma... I love Chinese food, but I hate the way the food from the Chinese buffet makes me feel.  I decided to take matters into my own hands, and learn how to make some of these delicious treats.  First up, is sweet and sour chicken stir fry.  Take the time to make your own Chinese, and you'll never go back to the buffets.  Okay, so maybe you'll go back once in a while, but you'll regret it later.

Blueberry Pie Bars

So, I know I just posted a blueberry recipe a little while ago, but when you love blueberries, you find new recipes to try with them... especially when you have 23 quarts of them in your freezer.  Don't have time to make a pie from scratch? Cheat a little and whip up these tasty blueberry pie bars.  You'll be glad you did.

Cauliflower Soup

Nothing says fall better than a big bowl of soup.  Here's a delicious one I borrowed from Pioneer Woman.  Even if you're not a big fan of cauliflower, this one is worth a try.  Quick and easy to throw together, and don't forget the sour cream at the end, it brings it all together.
