Prairie Berries

Posted on January 6, 2010 by prairiemoonquilts in Meal planning & Recipes

Today I thought I’d share with you a dish My Cowboy loves for breakfast. Actually, we like it any time, but My Cowboy eats this for breakfast with a slice of fresh-baked cornbread that I bake in my iron skillet. Keeps his belly full and warm while he’s outside doing what cowboys do. Prairie Berries […]

Coconut Shortbread

Posted on January 1, 2010 by prairiemoonquilts in Meal planning & Recipes

I got this recipe from my brother’s ex-wife a long time ago. I’m sure glad she gave me the recipe before she left! The good thing about this recipe is that you don’t have to bake it all at once if you don’t want to. You can keep the dough in the freezer and just […]

Peanut Butter Cookies

Posted on December 3, 2009 by prairiemoonquilts in Meal planning & Recipes

My best friend has a granddaughter that we call Miss Miranda. When she was little and liked something yummy she would say: Dee-rishus! So now, we all still use the term . . . and it definitely comes to mind when these little gems come out of the oven. It’s a miracle My Cowboy doesn’t […]

Southern Pralines

Posted on December 1, 2009 by prairiemoonquilts in Meal planning & Recipes

This is my sister’s recipe. She makes these for me at least once a year, usually around Christmas. I just let her, because it saves me the trouble! 1 1/2 cups sugar 1 1/2 cups dark brown sugar 1 1/2 cups half and half 3 Tbsp. butter 2 cups pecan halves In a heavy 2-quart […]

Apple Crisp

Posted on November 1, 2009 by prairiemoonquilts in Meal planning & Recipes

I got this recipe from a young girl that My Cowboy and I used to work with. I discovered it when she brought it to a department potluck dinner one time. In September, when I buy apples by the box, I make this a lot. I supposed you could serve it with whipped topping or […]

Chocolate Sheet Cake

Posted on October 28, 2009 by prairiemoonquilts in Meal planning & Recipes

This right here is my favoritest chocolate cake recipe in the entire world. I swear I could eat a whole one of these all by myself! I like it with the pecans in the frosting, but if you don’t like nuts, or are allergic, you can leave them out, and it’s still just as delicious. […]

Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies

Posted on October 1, 2009 by prairiemoonquilts in Meal planning & Recipes

Another recipe from my grandmother that I am so glad she found and passed down. A kid who used to work for me absolutely loves these cookies, and once told me that they’re the best chocolate chip cookies he’s ever had. I passed the recipe on to him, too. I wonder if he ever makes […]

Amish Baked Oatmeal

Posted on September 1, 2009 by prairiemoonquilts in Meal planning & Recipes

I have a lot of Amish friends, and I’ve never seen them eating this, but that doesn’t mean they don’t. All I know is my kids liked it. Chances are, yours will, too. It’s a great breakfast for a cold morning when they have to head out to school. 1 1/2 cups quick-cooking oats 1/2 […]

Baked Oatmeal, version 2

Posted on September 1, 2009 by prairiemoonquilts in Meal planning & Recipes

This version is even more like a dessert, and my kids liked it, too. We alternated recipes so they could have each of them regularly. The raisins and nuts are optional, but you could add a few extra apples if you leave them out. My kids liked adding just a bit of milk. 4 cups […]

Baked Oatmeal, version 1

Posted on September 1, 2009 by prairiemoonquilts in Meal planning & Recipes

I’ve posted 3 different recipes for Baked Oatmeal, so you’re sure to find one that you like. This was probably the favorite of my kids. It didn’t matter if I put the fruit in or left it out. You could also add some chopped walnuts, if you like. It’s almost like cake, but you can […]
