Super Quick Peanut Butter Cookies-GF & DF
Peanut butter is a funny thing. You can turn it into a savory sauce for noodles, no-bake confections for the holidays, or the ever classic favorite, straight up peanut butter cookies. Speaking of cookies, peanut butter needs little in the way of help to bake up as such. The following recipe is…
Grilled Venison Steaks
If you grew up in Minnesota, then ice fishing was a pastime of yours. You have eaten lutefisk, are at home on a lake, and you more than likely own a piece of clothing that is camouflage, blaze orange, or a mix of both. You can make a snow igloo in your…
Slow Cooker Butter Style Chicken
Branching out of your comfort zone is never easy. Wether it is trying a new fashion trend (No, not everyone can wear skinny jeans.) or talking to people you don’t know at a party (The weather is a safe topic…) or reading a book from a section you don’t normally pick from…
How To: Fish Baked In Parchment
Food steamed in parchment paper is one of my favorite ways to cook. Why? Well, besides the fact that it is an especially healthy method, there is no clean-up!! The heat, steam, and flavor are trapped inside, resulting in a moist, healthy, and surprisingly quick meal. The fish melts in your mouth and…
Traditional Meatloaf
The recipes that appear here are tested, reliable, honest, and usually fairly simple. Right? Right. Todays post is a perfect example of that; something I make regularly that always works, is always good, and is the basic classic recipe I always use. My one regret is the name. I know meatloaf is…
Mission Fig Bites
I never had Fig Newtons growing up. If it wasn’t a generic brand or purchased in bulk (Hydrox cookies all the way!!), I didn’t eat it. In high school on the bus to a swim meet, a friend of mine passed me my first Fig Newton. Now, I learned a lot of…
Rocky Road Crispy Bars
In some ways, I can’t even believe I am posting this…. This recipe was born strictly out of my need to eat something sweet and chewy. There is no grand idea or occasion, just me making bars four times this week in an effort to put together something that sounded good in…
Chicken W/Sweet & Zesty Raisin Sauce
I have mentioned before that sometimes, you can find fantastic recipes in unusual places. One of my favorite spots to search and skim for hidden ideas are product websites. For example, the Land O’Lakes site is loaded with anything and everything you ever wanted to do with butter! And did you know…
Crockpot Apple Oatmeal
So, you know that I love oatmeal. There are no shortages of oatmeal laden recipes on this blog and I am only getting started. It is one of those ingredients that is an automatic ‘yes’ for me. Dishes that call for making browned butter? No time for that. Anything at all that…
Chinese Chicken Salad
The feel like I should start by saying that the relationship between cabbage and I is still in the infancy stage. I didn’t eat much of it growing up and soggy coleslaw from the deli was certainly not going to sway me toward this rubbery, bitter vegetable. But slowly, with much cajoling…
Baked Sweet Potatoes W/Apples & Onions
This recipe absolutely falls into the category of ‘Things I make without thinking about and therefore never post on the blog’. I have been making it so long and without any type of recipe that I never give it a second thought! And then someone asks me about it, assuming they can…
Homemade Instant Hot Cocoa Mix
So…um….yeah. This weather sucks lemons. Before we get to todays recipe and my witty ramblings, I want to point out the handy dandy little icon on the top right of this page. YES! The rumors are true! Brittany’s Pantry has joined INSTAGRAM!!! Do you know what this means, faithful readers? It means…
Whiteout Smoothie
Have I ever mentioned how much I love white? I don’t like to to wear it-that is just an accident waiting to happen-but I love it in my house, my dishes, my kitchen, my decor, and now, in my smoothies. My cupboards are white, my appliances are white, and I collect milk…
Outrageous Caramel Dip
I stumbled across this recipe on another food blog and the picture of an apple doused in hot caramel dip drew me in. Actually, ever since I was pregnant with my second, caramel has been at the top of my ‘eat it’ list. I haven’t been a very big caramel fan in…
Holiday PUNCH!
A few weeks ago, my local Mom’s Group had our second annual Holiday Home Tour. Five brave souls volunteered to open their homes to the whole group to serve treats, pour some drinks, and show off their Christmas decorations to a bunch of sleep deprived, exhausted local mommies. And it was fabulous….
