.jpg) It’s hot. It’s muggy today. I picked and picked and picked Raspberries early this morning. Visions of this delectable frozen Cheesecake swirled in my head. They just kept swirling . . . so I made it! Since we have an ample amount of Raspberries at my house . . . I used Raspberries. You… .jpg) Two things on my mind. It simply won’t hold more than two things at once. 1. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You to all of you that voted for my simple Blog over at BABBLE. I was beyond thrilled to find out that I made the top 100 Food Blogs! see . . . you… New follower here, found you on the Babble list!August 2, 2012 – 7:13 am Yay! You’re back! I’m sorry you were sick and I’m glad you’re all better. Thanks for the yummy recipe!July 24, 2012 – 10:44 pm So happy to hear you are feeling better. These are a must in our house at Christmas “Magic Cookie Bars”. Love this recipe. I’m with you about snakes I go into full panic mode when I see one, I’m terrified of them. Congrats on making the top 100 you definitely deserve it.July 22, 2012 – 8:07 am We call them ‘Drizzle Bars’ because you drizzle the sweetened condensed milk over everything. Yum! Glad you are healthy again and congrats on making the top 100 list!July 22, 2012 – 8:02 am We always called these bars Santa Snacks because my Mom mostly made them for Christmas when we were growing up. I love them! Congrats on making Babble’s Top 100! Down here in New Zealand, I have never heard of these bars but I sure like the idea of the marshmallow layer. Congratulations on making the top 1oo bloggers – quite an honour.July 22, 2012 – 3:40 am Yep, we call them Magic Squares. Actually, my uncle has always called them Better-Than-Sex Cookies. It was particularly amusing when we were little kids and he called them that – NOT! If you add butterscotch chips, they become what we call 7 Layer Bars. Any way you make ‘em, I love ‘em!July 21, 2012 – 5:42 pm .jpg) HAPPY 4TH OF JULY! It’s sunny, hot, windy and picture perfect for a hometown parade. My heart goes out to so many families who have recently lost homes to wild fires. It will be difficult for so many, to celebrate this 4th of July Birthday. We need to offer support and keep them in our… Rustic pies are my favorite–this does look delicious.July 13, 2012 – 6:14 pm This is gorgeous!July 13, 2012 – 4:56 am This rustic pie looks amazing, and you’re right, totally easy to make. I’m drooling over the delicious sugar-coated crust. Yum! I hope you start to feel better.July 6, 2012 – 6:58 am That looks amazing!July 4, 2012 – 6:05 am It looks scrummy!! Happy 4th July from across the pond! xxJuly 4, 2012 – 3:18 am I love these rustic pies. They look great, taste great and are so versatile and easy to make. I can almost taste that fruit and pastry.July 4, 2012 – 1:01 am This looks absolutely awesome! I neeeed to try it!July 3, 2012 – 3:12 pm .jpg) The other day, we went on a hunt. A Big Hunk Hunt. We failed miserably, and came home without even one. They certainly aren’t my favorite candy bar . . . but the hubbie really likes them. He doesn’t love anything sweet – except for me of course. hee hee. So . . . I… Help! I’m wondering why my sugar mixture stuck to the sides of my mixing bowl.. Does anyone have a idea or suggestion? Thanks ****Hi Janett, I always butter the sides of my pot. Also….make sure you don’t stir at all, during the two minute wait! JonnaDecember 14, 2012 – 10:55 am Thanks Andrea! JonnaDecember 12, 2012 – 7:16 pm We’ve been making these candies since I can remember for a christmas treat. Parchment paper always seems to stick less then waxed paper. Also don’t wrap them on a humid day Big hunks are one of my Dad’s favorite Candies so I made this recipe for him and LOVED them! The only problem was that the wax paper kept sticking to the candy, which got kind of annoying (luckily my dad “suffered” through them anyway). Did you have this problem? Should I use a different brand of wax paper? This was my first time to make a wrapped candy, any suggestion would be awesome.September 27, 2012 – 6:59 pm Hi Daylee, Great idea!August 1, 2012 – 6:41 pm This look amazing! I’m definitely going to make these soon, but I was wondering if Butter Toffee Nuts would be a tasty substitute. Any ideas?August 1, 2012 – 6:31 pm Hi Esha, can u use honey instead of karo syrupJuly 24, 2012 – 10:22 am Have you ever had an ABBA ZABBA? It’s like big hunks but with creamy peanut butter in the middle instead of peanuts. I think it is even made by the same company. I wonder if this would work that way. Also, FYI, you can get almost any candy bar at Winco in I.F.July 1, 2012 – 1:13 pm Hi Janelle, I’ve tried both, and both work equally the same. JonnaJune 29, 2012 – 10:28 am For the record, what you have in your pictures is NOT marshmallow fluff. Fluff is a brand name, and is a similar though different product.June 29, 2012 – 8:08 am Hi Jeanne, JonnaJune 29, 2012 – 7:13 am I cannot wait to try this. Big Hunk is my favorite candy. Does this recipe have the same properties as the original? Chewy but also breaks when you smack it on the table…June 29, 2012 – 6:27 am Big Hunks are my all time favorite!!! I’m so excited to see this recipe today and I can’t wait to make it! Thanks so much for sharing!June 29, 2012 – 6:14 am This is such a fun sweet treat! Yum!June 29, 2012 – 4:25 am I have such a sweet tooth lately and this will take care of that I am sure!June 29, 2012 – 2:03 am My hubs is a Big Hunk lover. I should make this for him.June 28, 2012 – 8:50 pm Thanks for doing all the research and sharing what you find is the best. I’ve never heard of this candy bar before. Sounds and looks amazing. Going to try this for sure this summer.June 28, 2012 – 4:08 pm .jpg) Pesto. I like it on Pasta, Sandwiches, as a dip for chips and crusty bread. My funny husband thinks it tastes like Sage Brush . . . but still eats it. It’s delicious on my new favorite Pizza crust – Remember the Jim Lahey recipe I posted. I’m telling you . . . it’s fabulous!… I adore pesto but would use only pinoli to create the traditional pesto. Where I lived in the north of Italy, we used a mixture of parmesan and pecorino cheese rather than pure parmesan. Here in New Zealand, it is hard to find pecorino so parmesan it is. I know there are various different versions of pesto and they are all delicious. I make one with rugola instead of basil and it creates a great peppery pesto.June 27, 2012 – 9:45 pm Yum! Your pesto looks delicious, especially on the bread with the tomatoes and melted cheese. I love that white plate in the photo.June 27, 2012 – 10:10 am .jpg) Lazy is my middle name this week. I’m FED UP with feeling crappy . . . soooooo . . . no more! I have a scrumptious and super easy recipe for you today. It’s certainly one of our favorites for the grill. Our meat of choice was Chicken today, but Beef chunks is also delicious…. Hi LB, I updated the instructions, so it will be a bit easier to understand. This sounds wondeful. Can you tell me where the 2 cloves of garlic come in please? Thinking not on the skewers? Thanks.September 8, 2012 – 3:24 pm Thank You Kim! I’m new to your blog, but lovin’ it. I made these kabobs last night and they were a huge success with my big family. Any recipe that pleases all six of us is a keeper. I mixed it up in the morning before work, and grilled it up quickly for dinner. Thanks!August 16, 2012 – 5:29 pm Hi Jonna, Thank you for this recipe!! I made them for the 4th of July and they were a hit with my family! They were delish!! You always have the best recipes and I always look forward to your next post. I am sorry that you have not been feeling to grand and I hope you are getting back to 100%. Thanks for all you do and keeping our families fed with your great recipes =)July 5, 2012 – 6:04 pm Oh my goodness….that looks amazing. I really need to make these now! Hi Tracy, At Sam’s club, the Canadian Seasoning and the Montreal Seasoning are two different spice blends. Thanks for commenting, Hi, Thanks for this great looking recipe I am going to try it this weekend. I came on to ask what is Canadian Seasoning too. Since I am from Canada you would think I should know, but I have never heard of it until I read your comment, then I realized that it probably is what we call Montreal Steak Spice Seasoning here.June 22, 2012 – 11:08 am Hi Anne, Canadian seasoning is a mixture of 5 spices, that works well for both steak & chicken. Sometimes the label will actually say Honey BBQ Kabobs, how delicious they look. I enjoy your recipes, and your notations about them. You make me laugh! I’m curious, what is Canadian Seasoning?June 22, 2012 – 8:46 am .jpg) Hi. It’s been a while. Thoughts of cooking or baking of any kind were erased from my mind for a while. Nothing looked good, tasted good or stayed down for long. I’m convinced that I’ve lost many needed brain cells! When you walk around the house looking for a ringing cell phone . . …. Found your blog through Pinterest and LOVE it!! Your work is great!!July 15, 2012 – 1:44 pm Mom…those look so good! Where are mine? They look to time consuming to make! Mine wouldn’t turn out like yours anyways. I’m glad your feeling better! Love you!June 22, 2012 – 9:32 am These are adorable! and yummy looking too I’m sorry to hear you have been so sick. Food is certainly not going to attract you right now. But those pies look seriously good and I have enjoyed reading your tips for getting great cooked pastry.June 21, 2012 – 5:05 pm These look wonderful and just in time after our blueberry picking expedition! I just may be trying these really soon. Glad you are feeling better! Hi Beth, Holy Cow! These look delicious! Just so happens I went blueberry picking last week and have 2 gallons of fresh berries. Wondering, can the filling be made with frozen berries?June 21, 2012 – 5:23 am Hi Faye, When you take the pies out of the oven, immediately go around the edges very carefully with a sharp knife, and go around the edges so that the Hi Aimee, These looks amazing! I haven’t had much success making mini-apple pies in muffin tins. I always have trouble removing them and keeping them intact. Do you have any tips? Did you spray your muffin pan? Thanks for the great recipe!June 20, 2012 – 2:05 pm oh my goodness these mini pies look absolutely divine. I love making cute bite sized treats. I don’t however love blueberries (I like them, just not love) do you think this would work with strawberries or raspberries or peaches? MMM! pinned.June 20, 2012 – 1:58 pm These mini pies look amazing as does everything you post here. My daughter is getting married next March and we have decided to do a Wedding desert table as she doesn’t want a big Wedding cake. I think these little berry pies would be perfect. Thanks for sharing. Love your blog!!  Sorry for the long pause . . . A bug caught me. When I find it . . . he better look out!!! I will return soon. Feel better soon love your site!!!June 22, 2012 – 11:54 am I hope you are feeling better soon and kick that bugs butt!June 19, 2012 – 7:14 am I hope you find him soon!June 19, 2012 – 12:23 am Feel better soon!June 18, 2012 – 7:07 pm .jpg) Thumbing through The Perfect Finish Cookbook . . . is a thrill for the senses. The Author – Bill Yosses, is the executive pastry chef at the White House. The pictures are amazing and I found myself dog-earing half the book! The Blueberry Angel Muffins stopped me in my tracks. Is it a muffin or cake?… I LOVE that cookbook. How did I miss this? Hi Ashley, JonnaJune 15, 2012 – 1:56 pm what temperature is the oven suppose to be at for baking these delicious looking muffins?June 15, 2012 – 1:18 pm Thank you for posting these just in time for Fathers day! Angel Food is my father’s favorite and he is going to love that he can now have his favorite cake in a muffin.June 13, 2012 – 9:55 am Man! I never even thought of doing that. . . Great Idea! =) Glad you did!June 7, 2012 – 6:06 am Yum! What a fun breakfast! It’s so nice to have yummy light options, isn’t it?June 6, 2012 – 11:50 am Such a lovely blueberry treat! I just can’t wait till blueberry picking season to start here in Southern NH!June 6, 2012 – 8:00 am I love the idea of all those whipped eggs in the muffins. They must be quite a different taste sensation.June 6, 2012 – 4:06 am Cake for breakfast? You’ve got my attention!June 5, 2012 – 1:29 pm YUM! These look fabulous! Great idea!June 5, 2012 – 12:28 pm .jpg) For years and years and years, I’ve been making Cream Puffs. For years and years and years, they bake and rise beautifully . . . and then deflate. Not any more . . . I say! Cream Puffs really are very simple to make. They are even easier to eat. It’s all in the slit… 
Oh great…..I knew it!! Jonna! I tried making the cream again and it turned out great! It set up just like it is supposed to…I really do think I got a dud box of pudding last time. Thanks for another great & easy recipe–it was a crowd pleaser!February 23, 2013 – 7:32 pm Hi Rachel, I emailed you! JonnaFebruary 2, 2013 – 12:20 pm My only conclusion is that I got a bad box of pudding. Is that even possible? I so much enjoy your blog. Thanks for sharing with the rest of the world!January 31, 2013 – 7:32 pm Hi Rachel, I checked the recipe and it’s correct….did you use instant vanilla pudding? I hope it will work for you! Email me if you like at: JonnaJanuary 23, 2013 – 5:23 pm I don’t know if there’s a misprint or if I’m just doing something wrong, but I tried making the cream and it never set up or got firm. I swear I’ve read the directions 20 times and finally I just added the cool whip to see if it would help and it’s turned into a runny goopy mess. So wish I could have tasted the goodness!January 23, 2013 – 5:03 pm Hi Susann, I’ve made these using regular All purpose flour, and the results are fine. JonnaNovember 15, 2012 – 2:44 pm About the bread flour. Do you think regular flour with Hodgson’s gluten added would give good results?November 15, 2012 – 2:35 pm I just found your site thanks to Pinterest. So far everything looks delicious, but I have to comment on your photographs. Completely awesome. I’ll be trying some recipes soon!July 12, 2012 – 4:57 pm These look absolutely delicious!June 3, 2012 – 9:59 pm Thanks so much Teresa! I read, but haven’t written before. Just wanted to say that you make some amazing things, and I love all the tips you have included. It is sad that someone would leave such an unkind comment. Not everything that pops into ones mind needs to be shared. If those are your thoughts, just move along. I think they sound wonderful and will probably make them!June 2, 2012 – 10:27 am Hi Gretel, Don’t knock it until you try it! I would have thought the same thing, JonnaJune 1, 2012 – 6:30 am OMG I am going to have to hide the scales and just deal with the extra pounds!June 1, 2012 – 12:43 am instant vanilla pudding? Cool whip? Yuck! So disappointed!June 1, 2012 – 12:15 am Hi Puppydogs, This Hot Fudge Sauce doesn’t get hard….it stays creamy soft! JonnaMay 31, 2012 – 7:08 pm Hi Mmm mmm these look so delicious! Love it!May 31, 2012 – 8:19 am |

Jonna - Hi Janelle,
Yes…they freeze very well. Just make sure that you keep them in a well-sealed freezer container.
JonnaAugust 23, 2012 – 12:31 pm
Janelle - Do these freeze well long-term? Like, if I made a batch in cupcake tins to keep in the freezer for when I want a fruity cheesecake dessert, does it keep well for a few months?August 22, 2012 – 9:37 pm
