Butter Cookies

Posted on September 1, 2012 by prairiemoonquilts in Meal planning & Recipes

A few weeks ago, I was in my friend, Sue’s, coffee shop, and she had the most wonderfully delicious-looking cookies in a pretty dish on the counter, and even though I went in only wanting an iced coffee, one of those cookies screamed my name so loudly, I had to buy it to shut it […]

Lemon Bars

Posted on February 1, 2012 by prairiemoonquilts in Meal planning & Recipes

I know there are many many variations on making Lemon Bars, and I’ve tried several of them, but this one I got from my friend, Ceil, and it’s my very favorite, so now it’s the only one I ever use. I take these to Sunday dinner every so often, and they disappear in a hurry. […]

Macaroon Pie

Posted on February 1, 2012 by prairiemoonquilts in Meal planning & Recipes

I’m not sure why this recipe is called Macaroon Pie, because to me, “macaroon” implies that there’s coconut somewhere in the recipe, but such is not the case here. However, since that’s what we’ve always called it, I’ll still be calling it that. It’s an old recipe of my grandmother’s, very easy, and oh, so […]

Hoss ‘n’ Pepper

Posted on January 4, 2012 by prairiemoonquilts in Meal planning & Recipes

This is a recipe for Roast Pork Tenderloin, by the way. Once upon a time, we had a pork tenderloin to cook, and I couldn’t decide what to do with it, so My Cowboy made up his own recipe. It was so easy and so melt-in-your-mouth delicious, that I feel compelled to share the recipe […]

Skillet Enchiladas

Posted on January 1, 2012 by prairiemoonquilts in Meal planning & Recipes

This is a recipe My Cowboy makes for me. It’s his own concoction, and I think it’s wonderful. Or maybe it’s so wonderful just because he makes it and I don’t have to — nah, it’s just good — and the more cheese, the better! 6 flour or 10 corn tortillas (you can use whichever […]

Fruit Danish

Posted on June 1, 2011 by prairiemoonquilts in Meal planning & Recipes

I’ve got a couple different recipes for breakfast danish, so you can try them both and see which is your favorite. This recipe uses an 8-count tube of refrigerated crescent rolls. However, they make crescent dough in a sheet these days, so if you can find that where you live, you can use it instead. […]
