Lost In Xanadu Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 We try and limit desserts to once a week or once every other week... so when we do have it, try and make something nice. Last night we made a simple berries and custard and it was excellent. Took some fresh raspberries, blueberries and blackberries, and topped them with a custard made from just 2 cups cream, a vanilla bean, 1/4 cup sugar and 4 egg yolks. We also use this same custard base to make ice cream and it's delicious. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what's wrong with the oven, and we can't get a new or better one right now. The highest I can safely put it up to is 375. It's an electric stove, and I don't like them, but we don't have gas so I'm stuck with what I have. Edited November 13, 2015 by Lorraine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love them. I will post a real easy recipe a little later. Don't forget about the recipe! :) Easy Peanut Butter Cookies Easy because they only have three ingredients (four if you add chocolate chips), and there's no measuring (unless you add the chips). The peanut butter HAS to be the natural kind, you know, the kind with the oil on top. Regular Jif or Peter Pan or whatever will be too hard to mix. 1 - 16oz jar of natural peanut butter (crunchy or smooth)16oz of sugar. Regular sugar or turbinado (Sugar In The Raw, for instance) -- either or both works just fine. Turbinado adds a little molasses flavor.2 eggs1/3 cup chocolate chips (optional) -------------------------------------------- Preheat oven to 350. In a large mixing bowl, scoop out the entire jar of peanut butter. Use the empty PB jar to measure out the sugar -- fill the jar up to about the level where the peanut butter was, not all the way to the top. You can use less sugar if you want. In a separate bowl, pour in sugar, eggs and (if you're using them) chocolate chips. Mix thoroughly. Add the egg-sugar-chips mixture to the peanut butter. Mix ingredients together using a large sturdy spoon. The mixing gets tougher as you go. Keep mixing until you have a firm and thoroughly mixed cookie dough. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper, if desired (or, see below). Using your hands, take some dough and roll it into a ball, then press your hands together to flatten the ball into a cookie-like shape. How big you make the cookies is up to you, but the dough will flatten and spread out only a little bit as they bake. You can use a fork to press a crisscross pattern into the top of the cookie if you like -- do this before you place it on the sheet (less stickage). Bake at 350 for 14-15 minutes. Cookies should be light tan on top and brown on the bottom -- they'll darken a bit as they cool off. Give them time to cool before trying to take them off of the sheet. If you don't want to use parchment paper or non-stick spray, here's a tip for less stickage to the cookie sheet. Take a shallow bowl and put in some uncooked oats. After you flatten the dough in your hands, place it in the oats and press down a bit, embedding the oats into the bottom of the cookie. You can do this with the fork in a crisscross pattern. The oats on the bottom make the cookies easier to remove from the cookie sheet. Again, wait for the cookies to cool somewhat before removing them.

In fact, I should add that to the recipe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 As long as it's not too chocolaty, that sounds delicious too. For Thanksgiving, I am making pumpkin cheesecake. It's really good. I make it every year. Look forward to that more than the meal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
