Smore's Cookies

Tuesday, September 11, 2012 | Publish by Thaydra

  While trying to come up with ideas for what type of cookie to bring to a Taylor Swift themed birthday party, I tried to choose between Cowgirl Cookies or Smore's Cookies.  In the end, I decided to go with both!   These cookies are more of a bar-type cookie.  They are very soft, and very sweet, so I would advise cutting them into smaller than normal portions!  They are very good, though, and that is the important part!   The only alteration I will make to them next time, and I will...

Cowgirl Cookies

Tuesday, September 11, 2012 | Publish by Thaydra

  A friend of mine's daughter was turning 10, and wanted a Taylor Swift theme for her birthday party.  Her request of me was to bring cookies.   I wanted to come up with a cookie that would somehow fit the theme, without taking too much effort, since I would be short on time to make them.  I decided on these cookies, which pretty much have that "everything thrown in" feel, and Smore's Cookies.   Both make me think of cowboys and cowgirls,  of sitting on hay bales around a bonfire...

Honey-Orange-Mustard-etc Glazed Chicken

Sunday, September 09, 2012 | Publish by Thaydra

   I had decided on the menu plan to make chicken drumsticks for tonight's dinner.  As I went into the kitchen to get it started, I realized I had absolutely no idea as to how I wanted to prepare them.  I knew I wanted something tasty, not fried, and not horribly difficult to make.  I took a look around the kitchen to see what we had, and decided to try my hand at just throwing some stuff together that sounded good.  What I came up with was perfect!  I am pretty dang proud of...

Zucchini Pineapple Muffins

Sunday, September 09, 2012 | Publish by Thaydra

  I bought some zucchini at the store a week or so ago, and never figured out what I wanted to do with it.  Since I was having company over today, I wanted to have something a little sweet, but not overly so.  Zucchini bread entered my head, but then this recipe popped up on Pinterest and I figured it sounded good enough to try.  I am glad I did!   They turned out delicious!  My children and I are not big pineapple fans, but the pineapple lent just enough sweetness without...

Welcome!

My name is Thaydra, and I am not a chef, or a cook, or a baker, or even really domesticated yet. I am a mom, though, so I do need to prepare food on occasion. I started this blog to keep track of all of the thousands of recipes that I have.


So many times I try something, and think "Oh my, that sucks!" or "Hmm... this would be good with [insert ingredient here]!" or "Holy cow, that is delicious!!!". But, after months of not touching the recipe, when I go back to it, I can no longer remember which of those categories it fell in.


Here, I hope to keep track of the different recipes I try, and their outcomes. I can keep notes on what I would do different, or if one kid liked it, or (miracle) both kids like it... And you can add your own notes, too, if you have any!
