Life has been crazy busy, but I have been trying to make some time to try a couple recipes. Here are a few that turned out delicious!!!!
Brown Sugar Snickerdoodle Cookies. Of course I found it on pinterest. I made over 30 cookies and they were all gone within 20 minutes. I can't wait to make them again. They were sooooo scrumptious. Here is the link http://www.ambitiouskitchen.com/2012/10/brown-butter-snickerdoodle-cookies/
Here's something on the healthy side, Quinoa Pudding. Similar to rice pudding but less than half the calories. I've had it in the fridge and I heat it up each time and it's good! I want to try adding nuts and dried fruit next time. Here is the link http://bookcooking.net/showthread.php?tid=4432
And here's the last recipe for the night, Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup! This is a great dinner to make during the week when you're super busy, because you trow everything in the crockpot and let it cook all day. Chet said it was his favorite tortilla soup ever.

Fish Fudge...Homemade doggy treats
As you know we got a puppy right before Christmas, Reagan. He is a black lab and is almost four months old. He's so adorable, energetic, crazy at times, lovable, and mischievous. Just yesterday I brought him in town with him because he had to go to the vet. Afterwards, I went grocery shopping and had to make two stops. After I did my first half of the grocery shopping I then went to Costco and left him in the car. Well.....bad idea when I have a ton of food in the back of the car. So I came back with a cart full of food and find Reagan sitting in the back of the car eating cinnamon bread. He decided to eat ten of the twelve pieces of cinnamon bread while I was grocery shopping. It was supposed to be for a breakfast recipe for the B&B guests, and now I need to go back to the grocery store and buy more. I couldn't believe he did that! Needless to say, that ended up being his dinner and I hope he learned his lesson.
On to the recipe. A coworker of mine makes all his own doggy treats and he gave the recipes to me. I made fish fudge, which was so easy and Reagan goes crazy over them (so does Gus, my in-laws dog). I made it in a 9x12 pan and cut them in little squares. I keep three pieces in the fridge at a time and the rest I freeze. They don't last longer than four days in the fridge. If you have a dog and have five extra minutes then try this treat recipe for your dog. It's healthy and has a 1/4 if the ingredients and junk most treats have.
2 cans salmon, drained
6 eggs
1/2 C flour. I us wheat flour. Or you could use oat or rice flour
1/2 C cheese. Any kind works. I used shredded cheese
Mix it all together and put in a greased 9x12 pan and cook for about 20 minutes

Cauliflower Pizza Dough
When I was trying to not to eat gluten I found a cauliflower pizza dough recipe on pinterest, which is gluten free! I typically make my own pizza dough in our bread maker so we're used to that, but I was very surprised how good it was. Obviously it wasn't the same taste, but it is something I'd definitely make again. After that was done I added my sauce, cheese, bell peppers, mushrooms, garlic, onions, ham, pineapple, jalapeno's and seasonings! We had the works pizza and it was delicious!
And here's the link to the recipe: http://www.eat-drink-smile.com/2011/04/cauliflower-crust-pizza.html
spices and trying not to waste
First off, I really enjoy cooking and making delicious meals, so in order to do that you have to have a decently stocked pantry and a good spice cabinet. Nick and I kind of went overboard on the spice cabinet but we have everything you need, so that's a big benefit. Its amazing what spices can do for a meal. A friend recently gave us a spice mix from savory spice shop called bohemian forest rub. Wow!! Its awesome and good on a variety of things. The shop is a chain, so there are various locations (but not one in Tulsa) and here is their website savoryspiceshop.com. Its fun trying new spices-I challenge you to buy a new one this week. Smoked paprika is a good one if you have not tried it before.
One of my goals is to not waste, especially food. I hate throwing away food because I didn't eat it before it went bad or veggies start to mold in the fridge. I try to plan out meals and buy food only for that week, but plans always seem to change and one of the meals doesn't work out. So one of the things I do is go through my fridge to see what is going to expire soon and I make a meal with those items. So this last week I realized I had some brie cheese in the fridge that I bought for Christmas day. Nick and I were booths battling sinus infections on Christmas so brie was not really appealing. I did a little Google search and decided to make apple, cranberry and brie stuffed chicken. Luckily I had everything on hand for the meal and it turned out awesome. I served this with green beans.
Here is the original recipe and below is my version with a few tweaks to the original, I hope you enjoy!

Cranberry, Apple and Brie Stuffed Chicken
- 3 good sized boneless skinlesschicken breasts, pounded out to about
- 1 package of brie cheese (about.55 lb pkg), remove the outer white part
- 3/4 cup of cranberries
- 1/4 apple diced small
- 3 pieces bacon
- Desired seasoning – I used seasonedpepper, salt and bohemian forest rub
In a medium size bowl mixthe brie, cranberries and apple. Take your rings off and dive in with yourhands, the best way to mix this is to knead and mix with the hands. After thisis done and the chicken is pounded a little flatter, put this mixture on halfthe chicken breast, then folder over the other half. Wrap each stuffed breastwith one piece of bacon to help hold in the mixture. Season the wrapped-stuffedchicken. Bake at 350 degrees forabout 45 minutes.
