Some like it hot . . . Some like it cold . . . Some like it in the pot . . . 9 days old! I just prefer mine mild to medium. However, if you like it HOT, just leave the seeds in! My lack of posting lately, has to do with Tomatoes ….
.jpg) Leftovers. We seem to have a lot of them in this household. Don’t tell anyone, but I do it . . . On Purpose! I make extra, so that another nights meal can be ultra easy. Taco meat makes the most delicious Won-tons. My family loves them! See . . . The 1st night, we had Tacos. If… Hi Kristii, You could fry them lightly on the stove top in a bit of oil, then bake them, but the wontons fry up very quickly. would it be possible to lightly fry these on the stove and then bake them?October 19, 2011 – 9:20 am New visitor here. My stomach is growling! Thanks for practical ideas that look like they will taste great!October 29, 2010 – 2:44 pm This sounds really good! I’m going to try them this weekend. My mom and son who both live with me would love these. Myself I try not to eat too much fried food, but I think I could eat one or two or three. . .October 14, 2010 – 10:08 am Have you found anything yummy to dip the ham and cheese ones in?October 13, 2010 – 5:44 pm Looks great I have left over taco meat in the fridge right now, I will have to try those tonight.October 13, 2010 – 8:05 am .jpg) Plums . . . dropping everywhere! What to do, what to do? It is October 10th, and we are still picking plums in our backyard. That is unheard of in Idaho . . . at least I think it is! We really don’t eat very much jam in this house, and I’ve already made lots… Thanks for sharing your recipe! I’ve never made plum jam before. Got some plums from a neighbor, bought the Certo and realized it didn’t have directions for freezer jam (I have yet to learn to can). My daughters helped me. We’ll try some tomorrow. Perhaps on pancakes! Hi Jaimie, hi- I was just wondering…I am new to canning…but once you fill the jars, and screw the lid on tight, I don’t see any mention of using a water bath to seal them. Did I miss a step? or is it really that simple with freezer jam? sorry if this is a silly question. Thanks for your help. JaimeSeptember 2, 2011 – 10:46 am Mom you have been incredible busy. I am so proud of you! I LOVED Grandmas Plum Jelly. It was the best. HOW SAD that no one has that recepie. What I would give to have her back for a day. I would spend the whole day talking to her, and hoping she could teach me everything she knew. I wish that I was closer to you, so I could learn some of these skills from you. I would spend the whole day in the kitchen with you and ABOSLUETLY LOVE EVERY MINUET of it. Someday when I get moved I hope to leanr a lot more from you. Can’t wait to try some of this jam. It looks great, and sounds delicious.October 16, 2010 – 9:48 pm .jpg) Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet Eating her curds and whey, Along came a spider, Who sat down beside her And frightened Miss Muffet away. ~ See what I made yesterday . . . If one of these critters was hiding in the sheets . . . would you jump out of bed? The… For the eyes I used mini chocolate chips! made them really pop out!October 17, 2010 – 3:12 pm these are awesome!! I’ll make some for my boyfriend SOON! Way too cute! Very cute! I’m making pumpkin whoopie pies this weekend. Amazing cookies!October 7, 2010 – 4:35 pm THESE LOOK SO YUMMY.October 7, 2010 – 1:17 pm These are so great looking. What a creative idea for Halloween.October 7, 2010 – 1:11 pm Mom…I loved your Whoopie Pie Spider Cookies. They were delicious! I couldn’t eat just one and the Spider ones I couldn’t touch them because they are to cute! I wish I was as creative as you. Keep on bringing the treats down to my house…thats the great thing about living by you- I get to taste everything you make! Love you!October 7, 2010 – 1:03 pm We used to make these, but with licorice legs, I love the chocolate ones more though. I just found this great site with all kinds of fun baking stuff, and edible eyeballs, http://www.bakeitpretty.com/item_339/Candy-Sugar-Eyes.htm, thought you might like it! Thanks for sharing!!October 7, 2010 – 12:55 pm .jpg) Don’t you think that fall screams Caramel Apples? I don’t make these often, because I can’t resist eating them. This caramel recipe is a long time family favorite. I promise you . . . Once you make homemade Caramel, you’ll never unwrap a store bought caramel again. To be honest, I’ve never dipped the bottom of a Caramel Apple in… Be sure to scrub the protective coating off when washing the apples. If you don’t the carmel will not stick!October 26, 2012 – 7:57 pm Hi Amanda, Those look amazing! I wish I would have seen this last week. Love your bejeweled spiders and those beautiful apples.October 31, 2010 – 7:18 pm LOVED this caramel. A new favorite. Thanks!October 15, 2010 – 1:29 pm those look awesome!!October 11, 2010 – 4:57 pm Hi, again! Okay, so I made 10 apples (all I had) and I have atleast 3 cups of caramel left over. (The caramel tastes insanely good!) My apples aren’t as nicely coated as yours, which is why I have so much caramel left over. I even dipped them all twice. Whaddaya think? I took the caramel off the heat at 231. Should I have cooked it longer (235)do you think? Thanks for sharing, Jonna! Hi, Jonna! I’m making your caramel apples on Sunday how long do they stay “fresh”? These were so yummy! Thanks for sharing. Your photo’s are adorable. Such a talented lady.October 5, 2010 – 12:25 pm For those of you who want to make Caramel Popcorn: Yes! I want to make popcorn too, but how much popcorn should I use? I don’t want to end up with too much popcorn and not enough carmel….heaven knows if anything more carmel is better. How do I make the carmel popcorn? Do I just pour the carmel on and stir?October 4, 2010 – 1:02 pm YAY! I can’t tell you how excited I am to see today’s post! I was looking for a homemade caramel apple recipe. 90% of the ones on the web call for unwrapping those dreadful caramel candies. I’ll be making these super soon! Thanks, Jonna! those look so yummy!!!! caramel apples are the best part of fall They are so pretty! Cheers, RosaOctober 4, 2010 – 2:10 am .jpg) My good husband is quite used to me cooking, baking . . . and messing up the kitchen. I believe that I’ve mentioned many, many times that he really doesn’t care for sweets. Ugggg. Yesterday, I made his favorite banana bread again – In his mind, it doesn’t fall in the category of Sweets. Him: “Have… I’m an amateur baker (I’m only 17!), and I love baking things to distribute to my friends at school. By far this bread was the favorite! Instead of walnuts though, I swirled in a few tablespoons of nutella. It was a welcome change and added a bit of surprise to a classic banana bread! This is easily the best recipe I’ve tried and I absolutely love it.February 3, 2011 – 6:52 pm Jonna this bread is awesome and so are those banana crumble muffins. Oh my, both are heavenly. Immediately my husband wanted to know where I got the recipe. I told him only on my favorite cooking blog. Thanks, I love this bread!October 5, 2010 – 12:47 pm I just made this and it is SO DELICIOUS! I have attempted banana bread many times and not found any recipe turn out this good. I am not a great baker but I’m not giving up! By the way, I am a new follower to your blog and I love it.October 2, 2010 – 2:36 pm I’ve made your banana bread a couple of times, and YES it is divine!!! Isn’t it too bad about the husband and the sweets? Mine is the same way Well. I’m now convinced. LOL! Cute conversation. But seriously……I think I will make this tomorrow during conference! yum.October 1, 2010 – 8:55 pm .jpg) Fall is here, in all it’s glory . . . although we are in the 80′s today. That is very unusual for Idaho! I’m not complaining though – I love fall. I love the leaves falling from the trees, the smells of harvest and the abundance from our gardens. I’ve been anxious to try a new Cobbler… This was amazing! I made it the other night with raspberries and blackberries and it was so yummy! Thanks for sharing! You are amazing!October 5, 2010 – 5:48 am Wow! I stumbled onto your site and the first post I saw was your mini monkey bread and then I made the mistake of hitting the home button and you have THIS! This gorgeous, wonderful, sinful cobbler! That’s it…I’ve lost my heart (and stomach) to your blog. Dare I go on to the previous post? Hmmm…OH YEAH!October 1, 2010 – 7:58 pm What a cool book! I think I might need that one! Lovely cobbler, what a great Thanksgiving treat!September 30, 2010 – 8:14 pm I’ve eaten peach cobbler before but never thought to add caramel sauce to it. That sounds like it would add a wonderful layer of richness to the filling. I’ve been enjoying some peaches too in some peach jam that I made and posted on my blog. Peaches are definitely the best part of summer.September 30, 2010 – 2:25 pm A gorgeous cobbler! I love that cpmbination. As a matter of fact, I’ve already made 2 cobblers this week… ;-P Cheers, RosaSeptember 30, 2010 – 12:15 pm .jpg) Oh . . . Rhodes Rolls . . . I think I love you! Seriously, they make life really easy. I will be blunt though – They are not as good as my own homemade rolls – but close. Rhodes rolls comes up with fabulous ways to use their dough. When I saw their idea for… Made this last night for dinner. The family was a bit skeptical but they were quickly sold. LOVE THE RECIPE! LOVE THE BLOG!

Can’t wait to try these waffles!September 27, 2010 – 8:10 pm Oh those look amazing and I can’t believe they’re made from instant bread rolls. I’d love to try the sweet stuffed version.

Get Off Your Butt and BAKE! - Thanks Bill . . . I’m glad you like it! Thanks for the tips.
JonnaOctober 24, 2012 – 5:10 pm
Bill - I’ve been canning salsa for some time and love this recipe. One thing that I did find is that I usually have all the ingredients handy but the hot peppers (which don’t store very well). I’ve been keeping a selection of dried hot peppers on hand which re hydrate while simmering. Great for a quick snack for unexpected guests.
Keep up the great work cooking and posting!!October 24, 2012 – 11:30 am
Cindy - Do you use both Anahiem peppers and Jalapeños in this recipe or just one or the other? My family loves salsa!!!! This recipes sound great.August 19, 2012 – 7:29 am
Jonna - Hi MaryAnn,
I believe 12. I hope I remember correctly.
JonnaAugust 16, 2012 – 6:47 am
Mandy - Hello MaryAnn,
I’m making this yummy salsa recipe with some ladies from church… about how many pints does this batch make? Thank you!August 14, 2012 – 8:34 am
Jonna - Hi MaryAnn,
I really don’t think so. I’m like you…I don’t love a strong vinegar taste at all. Try it, I think you will like it.
JonnaAugust 13, 2012 – 6:45 pm
MaryAnn - Does this salsa have a strong vinegar taste….I made one similar to this last year and ended up throwing the whole batch out ……it just had too of a vinegar taste to it….it was also made with cider vinegar….if you could let me know I would love to try this recipeAugust 12, 2012 – 4:57 pm
Anisa - I just bottled this salsa this morning. It is delicious!!! I will for sure be making this again next summer.August 10, 2012 – 11:28 am
Jonna - Hi Lisa,
You could certainly add less than the recipe calls for. After it simmers a bit, add more if you want.
This is my Mom in Laws recipe, and I love it!
JonnaMarch 24, 2012 – 8:39 am
Lisa I - Is this recipe super cilantro-y? I am just not a huge cilantro fan and have had homemade salsa before that goes way overkill. Tell me what you think so I can adapt the recipe if I need to before I try this. I absolutely love your recipes!!March 23, 2012 – 7:42 pm
Marlynn - This was wonderful! First year I’ve put up salsa and this reciepe is just faboulus. Although I believe next time I’ll make it a little hotter and maybe more chunky. My husband loves the salsa too. Love your blog and all your wonderful dishes.October 18, 2010 – 12:00 pm
KJ - So, you can just give your salsa to me. Okay?! Cute lightning!!October 17, 2010 – 9:50 pm
Brandi - MOM I DO NOT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED…gosh Sorry about that one comment with all the crazyness…don’t post that one! Sorry.October 16, 2010 – 9:41 pm
Tami Ottley - I have a GREAT idea… you use your nice kitchen, nice tools, and nice veggies… THEN send it to me in Washington!
Thanks for posting these recipes! My husband thanks you!October 14, 2010 – 11:02 pm
Camille - WHERE was this post two weeks ago when I couldn’t find anybody with a tried and true salsa recipe?! It looks delicious, and like something I might be able to conquer. This has been my first year canning and I have to say, it’s not as bad as I thought it would be. For now, I’m going to have to round up some more tomatoes and try this out. Thanks for all your posts, by the way.I get a kick out of your blog, and an even bigger kick out of the delicious food I eat when I copy you!October 14, 2010 – 8:56 pm
