Day Two Of Cookie Making


When I finished my food pantry, I went to Sam's Club and bought enough food to fill two carts. I was excited, not real pratical, especially with my travel schedule. So what do you do when a 48-oz. bag of dried cranberries looked good to you? You bake. This cookie recipe was actually on the bag and the cookies turned out great. They taste similar to scones, which I'm hoping means I can eat them for breakfast. Not really. Well maybe.

Oatmeal Cranberry White Chocolate Cookies

2/3 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1-1/2 cups of old-fashioned oats
1-1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 6-oz. package Craisins Dried Cranberries
2/3 cup white chocolate chunks or chips

Preheat oven at 375 degrees. Using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar together in a medium mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs, mixing well. Combine oats, flour, baking soda and salt in a separate mixing bowl. Add to butter mixture in several additions, mixing well after each addition. Stir in dried cranberries and white chocolate chips. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on wire rack. Makes approximately 2-1/2 dozen cookies.

Enjoy!

yum! I make a similar cookie that I learned from Semi-Homemade with Sandra Lee - one of my fav chefs, esp. for us working girls!

Mine is sugar cookie mix according to directions (or use refrigerated sugar cookie dough). Mix in dried cherries and pistachios. Bake as directed.

Cool. Dip in melted almond candy coating.

Always a hit at gatherings and looks very gourmet'ish!

Love your blog!

Chunky Tomato Soup and Cheesy Croissants

O.K., I know this isn't rocket science, but here's an easy lunch for you for the snowy weather. I bought the grocery's cheap brand of tomato soup, along with the same brand of petite diced tomatoes. I mixed together, along with Italian seasoning and salt and pepper and prepared this soup as directed. This soup was so much better than when I just make Campbell's tomato soup, who knew? With it, had reduced fat croissants, one with sprinkled reduced fat cheese; other with turkey pepperoni and reduced fat cheese. Sorry I didn't take a photo, couldn't wait to eat it. Good stuff, so easy, so cheap; and quick!

Christmas Letter 2017

Dec. 24, 2017 Dear Friends, Here I am again, writing this letter at the last minute and will have to send online at this point. My mind has been on too many other projects and for awhile, I thought maybe it would not hurt to miss a year doing this letter. But I’ve been writing a Christmas letter since 1991 and I guess for me alone, it’s an annual summary journal of sorts - why stop now, right?  Heck, I might make a book out of these sometime. To summarize the year, well, if you’re on Facebook,  you know my big focus this year as been “the bakery.”  I bought a building...more than five years ago now...in downtown Carterville for lots of reasons, one of them being that I just thought our town needed a bakery and cafe.  I also wanted the challenge of designing and renovating a bakery. Rise Above It Bakery & Cafe is what I call “the tiny building that could.”  We have jumped so many hurdles, for those helping me with this venue.  We’ve also endured so many challenges along

Christmas Letter 2018

Dear Friends, So this year, I made Christmas cards.  That’s right, I’ve wanted to do it since last Christmas when I failed to send out cards.  I didn’t finish.  And I just could not figure out what my inspiration would be this year for my letter. So here I am again, sending my letter at the last minute through Facebook.  There’s always next year - just you wait.  I’m going to start the process in July. Nevertheless, thanks to Facebook, I don’t really need to take the time to catch you up on my year too much.  Everything is fairly normal, (we’ll take normal, right?) and the bakery that I worked on for so long finally opened in June.  My sister, Crystal Lukens, owns the business and to no surprise, people are raving about her food.  I own, renovated and designed the building and basically branded it and said, “Go for it, sister.”  I still help with marketing, and if I have time when I’m in there and they’re busy, you might find me washing dishes, busing tables, etc.  Everything we
