Meal Planning, Part 2

Posted on March 25, 2020 by prairiemoonquilts in Recipes

Well, it’s been over 2 months of me doing all the cooking . . . and meal planning . . . and grocery shopping . . . and it’s actually working out OK. I’ve been choosing things that are relatively quick and simple to make, so that I’m not spending all my time in the […]

Meal Planning

Posted on February 12, 2020 by prairiemoonquilts in Recipes

Let’s just establish right up front that I suck at meal planning. I barely have time to cook, let alone plan what I’m cooking, and then we end up eating poorly, and I try to “do better next time”, but I somehow always fail. My heart’s just not in it. But it really needs to […]

Baked and Twice-Baked Potatoes

Posted on January 21, 2019 by prairiemoonquilts in Recipes

Several times over the last few months, I’ve mentioned to various people that I made Baked Potatoes in the CrockPot for supper, and they seemed surprised to hear that. I find it hard to believe that I know anything about cooking that someone else doesn’t already know, and I don’t even know where I got […]

Snickerdoodles

Posted on November 13, 2018 by prairiemoonquilts in Recipes

It’s cold outside, and I’m always looking for an excuse to light the oven to put a little extra heat into the house, but have I ever mentioned I hate cooking? My Cowboy wanted cookies, but I’m out of brown sugar, so I couldn’t make his favorite Chocolate Chip cookies, so I asked him if […]

Sugar Cookie Frosting

Posted on December 17, 2016 by prairiemoonquilts in Recipes

I’m afraid this post is gonna make me give in and go bake some sugar cookies, especially since we’re right in the middle of an ice storm, so it’s a good day for baking. My hips don’t need cookies, but I’m posting this recipe anyway. I love my Aunt Ruby’s Sugar Cookies recipe, and over […]

Grandma Hyde’s Pumpkin Pie Recipe

Posted on November 15, 2016 by prairiemoonquilts in Recipes

When I posted Aunt Ruby’s Pie Crust recipe a few days ago, my friend Cindy asked me, “So, what pie are you making that you posted the pie crust recipe for?” My Cowboy just snorted! I had to admit, I wasn’t making pie! The reason for posting the pie crust recipe was because my daughter […]

Aunt Ruby’s Pie Crust

Posted on November 4, 2016 by prairiemoonquilts in Recipes

My Great-Aunt Ruby always made the best pie crust. I’ve been asked for my pie crust recipe many times, and all the credit goes to Aunt Ruby, because the recipe I use is hers. I realized the other day that I hadn’t yet posted this recipe, so today I present to you: Aunt Ruby’s Pie Crust […]

Baking

Posted on March 28, 2015 by prairiemoonquilts in Recipes

I have zero issues with making it abundantly clear that I do not like to cook. I do, however, occasionally like to bake something. You know, to satisfy my seemingly insatiable sweet tooth. Looking back, I’m not sure how I managed it, but I once went 8 months without ingesting a single drop of sugar […]

Cowboy Coffee Cake

Posted on February 21, 2015 by prairiemoonquilts in Recipes

My Cowboy is a picky eater. He wants “Man Food”, fill-yer-belly-and-keep-it-full dishes, and also wants to know exactly what’s in it. Things like quiche and crepes and fru-fru delicacies make him turn up his nose! In fact, if I were to tell him that this is actually called “Coffee Cake”, he’d probably not eat it, […]

Butter Pecan Cookies

Posted on January 3, 2015 by prairiemoonquilts in Recipes

These are hands-down my favorite cookies on the planet. The recipe comes from my friend and fellow guild member, Stephanie. Stephanie comes from an entire family of wonderful cooks. Her sister even owns a restaurant! Every time we have a guild retreat, Stephanie brings these cookies. I think I eat half of them all by […]
