Anyways, Doesn't anyone feel that Christmas sure went by fast this year?

A New Holiday Favorite!

 Happy Holidays Everyone! Wow! Only four more sleeps till Christmas and I still have to do some Holiday baking for this week.I'm always that last minute person to get everything done. However if you think about, my baked treats will end up being fresher for Christmas day! Anyways, what is every body's holiday baking plans for this week? Maybe your making a traditional gingerbread house or something simpler like sugar cookies.Whatever it need be, be sure to share about it in the comments. I love to hear all the delicious treats your making for the holidays. If your someone that's still stuck in what to make.I highly recommend trying out this delicious recipe for a Blueberry Coffee Cake . Now your probably thinking "this really doesn't fit the holidays and blueberries aren't in season.Well don't worry because this is a super adaptable coffee cake where you can easily change the topping to whatever you w

Super Easy Applesauce Raisin Cookies!

These applesauce raisin cookies remind me so much of hermit cookies.They have a similar texture and use the same basic spice mixture.The only difference with this recipe is it contains applesauce.The apples give a small flavor of fruit,but mostly works its magic in keeping them moist.Because of this ingredient you don't want to put these cookies in a jar.If done they will stick to each other.Other then that these cookies are the best! These are a basic spice cookie,which are very popular during the Christmas season. I assume spice cookies are quite liked around this time because their quick to make and you can basically throw any ingredient you like in with them.They are aromatic as well and a great milk cookie.Also, they are a great last minute cookie to make to serve Santa when he arrives at your home on Christmas eve! Easy for the children to make as well. They have great spice flavor and have the texture combination of soft,chewy,fluffy and just a little crispness

My Review Of The New Kraft Dinner Smart Vegetable

I just recently tried the new Kraft Dinner Smart Vegetables Macaroni And Cheese . I haven't had Kraft dinner for a long time and since I had a 75 cent coupon off for the product.I thought I should try this out and review my findings. Now, what is specifically new about this New Kraft Dinner ? Well right from the get go you can see they have a brand new look. I actually really like what they have created here in the background because they use bright colors and nature to bring positivity.You can see the blue sky and clouds hovering a big field.The picture really connects with the product and is eye catching to the consumer.Image is extremely important in a product and sometimes we don't even notice we buy based on look. Its also quite easy to find in stores since it looks so different from the original KD . Kraft has also introduced three other macaroni and cheese products, which include Flax omega-3 high fiber and vegetables three cheese . They also hav

Almost Perfect Chocolate Peppermint Slices

This is the first time I have ever made chocolate peppermint slices and this treat seems to fit well for the holiday month.The treat came very close to being my favorite, but it still needs a little more experimentation to the layers to create a favorite.It has great qualities while other attributes need work. These treats had a filling and bottom layer that were very simple to create.The filling seemed to be a basic smooth flavored icing and the crust was a heavy,stable cookie dough that reminded me a lot of graham crackers in flavor.The top chocolate layer deemed to be more difficult to create because I had to experiment with the top layer recipe because I was missing an ingredient from the list.So I improvised by using margarine,unsweetened cocoa and sugar. I would learn soon after that melting all these ingredients in a sauce pan would create a grainy chocolate sauce.With no other chocolate insight to use and to not waste ingredient I used the chocolate sauce for the

My Favorite President Choice Product

President Choice Blue Menu: Twice the Fruit Strawberry Jam has been a favorite around here for a long time. I've always used it for my toast,bagels,oatmeal,sandwiches and baking.I've actually used this jam for many recipes I've reviewed on here.Its definitely a favorite of mine because its not overly sweet and has real chunks of strawberries.Most jams I've tried are always to smooth, but with PC twice the fruit jam you get the best of both worlds,smooth and chunky. It has a rich strawberry flavor, while not being overpowering.I definitely think its a big contender to other brands because its a flavorful, affordable and healthier jam.Also,with the blue menu factor you get 50% less calories than jam with pectin and only 25 calories for each tbsp.I definitely recommend President Choice jams for others to try out for themselves and I think this jam is great for using in baked good.The only negative thing about these jams are they get eaten up so fast because
