In The Kitchen

I am having so much fun with this cooking challenge

and although I have not been too adventurous

it has given me the excuse to sit down and

research some of those "pins" that have been

keeping me on the computer for hours at a time!

one of the recipes I had first on my list

was my Grammy Brown's butter tarts

I have had the recipe for years and truth be told I was 

afraid of the pie crust because I have not made it from scratch

since grade 9 home economics class

and that my friends was more than a couple of years ago

I pulled the pie crust recipe from the Crisco site

and it turned out perfectly!

Mom said that Gram would be proud

and that made me smile

when I found this recipe I knew that it had to go on my list

I am a lover of anything dill and that there was cheese in them

well that is just a bonus!

I did not have fresh dill so I used dry ~ I added by the teaspoon until
it looked about right... about 3-4 tsp.

I also made dump cake as I have been wanting to try it for awhile now

it was fun and easy and good

I also whipped up a little breakfast casserole this morning

taking ideas from a couple of different things I have seen

and made it my own

see ~ that's what I love about cooking

taking a recipe and making it your own

all in all I checked off 5 more recipes this weekend

so that's 11 out of 28

I can do this!!

Saturday was s now day here ~ it was snowing when I got up

and still snowing and blowing when we went to bed

43 cm in total which is about a foot

blowing and drifting created a 5 foot drift in the back yard

so today was spent shovelling walks and decks

and snow blowers could be heard for miles and miles!

Hope you had a fabulous weekend!
