“Occasionally, we are graced with the presence of earth bound Angels. For one reason or another, these angels are unable to stay with us for very long. While they are here though, they touch many hearts, sacrifice much, & some leave life giving gifts.”

Last week my lil sister Jamie, was blessed with a much needed kidney transplant. This really was a miracle.
This gift quickly humbles you to your knees!

    What a great gift for your sister! My brother was on dialysis for several years, he became an angel, not directly from the kidney failure but a brain tumor that rendered him unable to go for dialysis.
    I really wanted to see the recipe for the Blueberry Angel Muffins but couldn’t connect. Is that also your recipe? Thanks for sharing 🙂ReplyCancel

      Hi Ellie,
      Thanks so much Ellie! I’m so sorry to hear about your angel brother. I’m sure that is why he was taken early, he was needed for more
      important tasks, that only a select few can do.
      If you will go to the search bar and type in Blueberry Angel Muffins, it’s there.

      Thanks again,

    So glad to hear your sister was able to receive such a gift! My uncle also had a kidney transplant and it was very emotionally conflicting. It makes a person so grateful but also so sad that this gift created a loss for others. Your sister will be in my prayers. Thank you for posting this!ReplyCancel

Over my spanning years . . . and recently I just added another . . . I’ve made a lot of Peanut Butter Cookies.

This Peanut Butter cookie is perfection at it’s finest. Simply put, I can’t quit eating these dang cookies! This recipe from the Magnolia Bakery Cookbook is without a doubt, my new favorite Peanut Butter Cookie recipe.

    Peanut butter cookies are a favorite of my 2 grandsons. How can you go wrong with pops of peanut butter and chocolate in the cookie? You can’t! I make a similar peanut butter cookie with chopped peanut butter cups but it has instant vanilla pudding mix in the dough. Good stuff!

  • Kelley H. - 06/29/2014 - 2:47 pm

    Hi Jonna – did you use the mini Reeses Peanut Butter cups? I only ask because I wonder if the flavor has more chocolate or more of the “innards” of the bigger candy? I am totally going to make these. I have an event tomorrow at work and wish I would have seen this before I made what I did (it’s Baklava, which is delicious, but these would have been terrific as well). This is the second time this week that I’ve read something about the Magnolia Bakery, too, so will have to look for their cookbook. Hope the birthday was beautiful and you did something special for yourself.ReplyCancel

    • Get Off Your Butt and BAKE - 06/29/2014 - 3:40 pm

      Hi Kelly,

      I did use the mini Reeses instead of the big cups. That’s what I had on hand. I agree with you, the mini’s would give you more chocolate!
      These cookies are excellent.

    Very very good.

    I experimented a bit with cooking times with 4 groups of 6. The first was 12 minutes, another 14, a third was 16, and finally 18 minutes. I definitely preferred those from the 14 and 16 minute cooking times best. Still all are spectacular!

    These cookies were fabulous! Crisp and chewy, which is rare for gluten-free cookies. Thanks! I used peanut butter chips instead of the chopped peanut butter cups because of dark chocolate allergy.ReplyCancel

  • Jennie - 07/02/2016 - 5:28 pm

    Wanted to add my two cents. I have been looking for the “perfect” PB cookie for some time, and I think these are pretty close! My only quibble is that they are VERY sweet.. kids and those with major sweet tooths may enjoy them, but if you’re feeding mostly adults you might want to cut the white sugar to 2/3 cup or possibly even less. I have not tried this less sweet variation yet, but I will next time (I did not roll them in sugar either).

    One caveat is that I used PB chips instead of Reese’s, so it’s possible that affected the sweetness slightly, although I wouldn’t think much.

    I chilled my dough for a few hours and baked them only on the top rack, they were perfect at 12 minutes. I used light brown sugar and may try dark brown next time for a better color. They edges don’t brown very much, so it can be tricky to tell when they are done. Don’t overbake.. 12 minutes was plenty for me, the bottoms were golden brown but edges and top never really darkened much. Mine didn’t spread very much and are quite dense and chewy, exactly what I want in a PB cookie. I don’t care so much for thin and crispy. VERY good recipe on the whole. Thank you for posting.ReplyCancel

    • Jennie - 07/22/2016 - 11:47 am

      I wanted to amend and say that after the cookies sat for a few hours they didn’t taste as sweet as they did out of the oven?! Maybe they are perfect after all. 🙂ReplyCancel

    • Get Off Your Butt and BAKE - 06/18/2014 - 4:11 pm

      Hi Mary,

      You can do the same thing using a 9×13 pan of brownies, and then cutting them.
      Make sure that you line your baking dish with foil, then you can simply lift out the entire slab of brownies.

      A whoopee cookie tin also works well, or even a mini cupcake tin would work, or a standard cupcake, as long as you don’t fill it full. I would fill a standard cupcake -half full with batter, then bake.

      Good luck,

The sun is shining today, and I should be outside washing my very dirty windows! Instead, I find myself attaching camera to desktop to share Strawberry Blueberry Cheesecake pictures with you. This no bake cheesecake is perfect, because it’s not too sweet. The crust isn’t your typical graham cracker crust, and the cheesecake mixture isn’t your typical cool whip center.

      Yes….I’m sorry.
      2 cubes are the same as 2 sticks
      2 cubes = 1 cup
      2 sticks = 1 cup

      Some of my handwritten recipes refer to sticks of butter as cubes!

Our dinner was scrumptious tonight, so I thought I’d share. It was also super easy. The grill . . . is summers best friend. This honey, ginger, garlic marinated, glazed flank steak is tender & fall apart awesome. Grilled corn or asparagus – one of my favorites, is the perfect side. Homemade potato chips pushes it over the top!

    • Get Off Your Butt and BAKE - 06/05/2014 - 12:06 pm

      Hi Ellie,

      My grill just have simple dials from Low to high. I placed it on medium, and let it heat up for about 15 minutes before placing the steak on the grill.
      I wanted to make sure that it was good & hot, so that you get a nice sear on the outside. This ensures you a tender flank!

      It’s delish. Watch it carefully….don’t over cook it.

      Hi Rita,

      I’m really glad your family enjoyed the Flank steak. This cut of meat is known to be “tough,” but we’ve made it this way several times now, and each time it’s super tender and we love it! You can marinate it in the fridge for a couple of days if you like. The longer you marinate . . . the more tender the meat seems to be.

      It’s optional of course. I use 1/8th to 1/4 teaspoon. I like more ginger than my husband does.

Strawberries are starting to pop up in glorious abundance, and it seems that my mind always turns to pie. Sometimes the most delicious desserts, are the easiest to prepare.

Winter does give us a few perks. I believe that we don’t need to stress out quite as much, when it comes to our wardrobe.

1. We can just throw on a nice winter coat & a stylish pair of boots and we are set.

2. Toes don’t need to look perfect . . . nobody sees them.

3. Legs aren’t shaved quite as often, and we don’t seem to care.

Lastly . . . for me . . . the best perk of winter . . . a husband who is home earlier in the evening. Summer seems to kidnap him and forces him to work 16 hours a day. I have to be careful not to let myself sing the summer b-l-u-e-s. If you are or have been a farmers wife, then you can also relate to this feeling.

Dancing with a little pre- summer b-l-u-e-s . . . what should you do?

        Thanks Jonna. I’m always looking for recipes to feed my hungry crew. Thanks for the tip! BTW – I use your recipe for the pretzel bites (with Rhodes Rolls) so much. We like both the sweet and the savory ones (dip in cheese sauce). It’s a great compromise on a Sunday evening when the family wants ‘hot food’ and I am tired from a busy day and don’t want to make another full meal – they seem to think weekends mean cooking three ‘hot meals’ a day. Popcorn doesn’t count as a meal for them. 🙂

        I LOVE your site and appreciate your yummy food. It’s beautiful and the recipes are delicious!ReplyCancel

          Hi Maureen,

          Your hungry crew will love these cookies! Popcorn is my favorite Sunday dinner! In fact, growing up popcorn & oranges was a sunday tradition!

          Thank you,

    I can’t wait to try these out. I gave up sweets for Lent, so this will be first in line once Easter has passed. I’ve never tried to make cookies without flour, so I’m curious to see how they will taste. I am a peanut butter fanatic, so am really looking forward to it. Thanks for the post.ReplyCancel

    Hey Mom!
    Thanks so much for the cookies! They were so good. You know Peanut Butter and Oatmeal are two of my favorite ingredients in cookies and so these hit the spot! I will be waiting for more because yours are so good and mine never taste as good as yours! By the way…Blake wants some of your fabulous granola!
    Love You!ReplyCancel

    Looks awesome!
    Ha ha, I think there’s a typo. Makes 8 dozen, so you could eat a couple plates full then take a couple over to the neighbors!(:ReplyCancel

      Hi Betty,

      These cookies are awesome!
      The recipe will make 8 dozen if you are using a standard size ice cream scoop. Try them . . . you’ll love them!
