This is actually the first time I've made anything other than queso dip or chili cheese dip in my crock pot. I think it turned out pretty well. Put the roast in at 8 am and let it cook for 10 hours while I get my tail light fixed and go shopping for a new wallet. Come back home and my house is full of delicious smells. It's probably the greatest way to cook - how have I not done this before? Overall this recipe was pretty easy. I like that it incorporates coffee, starting the smells off perfectly with a fresh batch of brewed coffee. I wish  I would   have   halved   the   recipe   though 

I'll be the first to say I'm not a fan of this recipe. First of all, the title says "kuchen" which apparently means "cake" in German, but I definitely think it's more of a pie. First, I had to make the crust. And the recipe itself doesn't explain too well how to do this. I felt like my cold, cubed butter (which I had no clue how big the cubes were supposed to be) did not mix well with the rest of the ingredients. When I was pushing down the crust in the pan, it wasn't as I would have expected the crust to feel like. It was really crumbly  (hey!  Maybe  that's  what  it  was 

Pancakes are one of my favorites for breakfast. One thing I'm not a fan of is that by the time you get through the whole bowl of batter, the pancakes are cold. But that's just something I deal with. This recipe brings us Swedish Pancakes. Though they look like normal pancakes that we all know and love, these are much thicker and not as sweet. Put some fruit on top though, and it's still pretty good. The recipe itself is easy to make, and word of advice, they cook way more evenly without a greased pan. I'm glad that I got the chance to make and 

This was even easier than the pudding. Toss pumpkin seeds in sauce and spice and bake in the oven. That's all there is to it!

Thumbs up for the easiness (they are pretty good too!)

I'm not going to lie to you, this recipe is not in my cookbook. Why did I make it you ask? Well, I pulled up the wrong "Banana Pudding" recipe on my phone while grocery shopping and decided to just go with it. As usual, pudding recipes aren't difficult at all. I layered some finished pudding with Nilla wafer, Reddi Whip, and some fresh banana slices.

​​One thing I would try different is using milk instead of sweetened condensed milk. It was just way too sweet for me. But the finished product 

Pimento Cheese spread has been one of my favorite dips for a long time now. 1. Because it's super easy with only three ingredients and 2. It's cheese based. So when I saw this recipe in my cookbook I had to make it toute de suite.

Remember that Stuffing I made last weekend? Well I took the reject sourdough pieces, baked them in the oven at 350 for 15 minutes, and used them to dip into the cheese spread. Pretty delicious if I do say so myself. Thumbs Up

I made this as a side dish to go with Thanksgiving dinner with my friends. Stuffing is one of my favorite sides so I was excited to make it from scratch for the first time. It wasn't as difficult as I thought. Baking the bread turned out perfect, I may do this in the future just for croutons or something. The mix of artichokes, mushrooms, celery, and onions smelled so good. When put in the dish with the bread and broth, it smelled even better after it was done baking. 

Next time I don't think I would use sourdough 

I'm not going to lie to you, I've never made a pie before. So this experience was a good one for me, and I thought it was actually a lot of fun. The berry pie is pretty easy, just boil the blueberries and then add the rest of the berries and put it in the pie crust to bake. I even did the lattice feature just like the cookbook - picture perfect I must say. And it tasted AMAZING. Normally I don't eat blueberries (refer to my Blueberry Buckle post) but I had to try this one because my house smelled amazing while it was baking. I was not disappointed. Probably the only fruit pie I
