M&M Pudding Cookies

The holiday's are here, can you believe it? I normally do a wider spread of cookies but I just don't have the energy for it right now.

I went to my best friend's house to do a Christmas cookie baking extravaganza and I brought this new recipe with me. They were probably my favorite one's that I made!

Pretty simple as well, with minimal ingredients. It makes quite a bit of cookies though, so prepare yourself for some oven time!

Ingredients:
  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 1/2t baking soda
  • 1/2t salt
  • 1 cup butter
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 box Jell-O vanilla instant pudding and pie filling mix
  • 2 eggs
  • 1t vanilla
  • 2 cups green and red M&M's milk chocolate
  • 1 cup white vanilla baking chip
Bake me to life!
  1. Heat oven to 350. In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy; scrape the side of the bowl. Beat in dry pudding mix. Beat in eggs, one at a time, just until smooth. Beat in vanilla. On low speed, gradually beat flour mixture into butter until well blended. Stir chocolate candies and white chips until blended.
  3. Drop dough by rounded tablespoons about 2" apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.
  4. Bake 9 to 11 minutes, or until light brown. Cool for 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 15 minutes. Store in airtight container at room temperature.



Try not to eat all of them before handing SOME out. They are addicting! And so simple! Hopefully you can add this one to your Christmas cookie making list!

Easiest Quinoa "Salad"

Who doesn't like a 5-ingredient dinner/snack? Granted, there could be a little more prep time depending on what you have laying around but for a mom that's always on the go with Baseball Practice and who knows what else...this is perfect. I cooked my Quinoa in my rice cooker, it was super easy to just dump it in there and walk away. If you don't have a rice cooker, just follow the instructions on the back of the bag. You can find Quinoa in the rice section of the grocery store usually, if not there check by the Organics. Side note : Whether I cook my Quinoa in a pot or in my rice cooker, I always cook it in Chicken Broth, adds more flavor! You'll notice the difference between water and Chicken Broth, I promise! If you have some cooked chicken already, perfect. If not, I usually get a rotisserie chicken and just shred it. Luckily, Matthew's mom has been buying me whole chickens and cooking them in the crockpot for me (because she's awesome) and then sending...

Sticky Bun Breakfast Ring

Just baked this recipe this morning! How delicious!! Super easy to make (which is what i'm all about) and tastes like it just came from some professional bakery! Sticky Bun Breakfast Ring Ingredients: - 1 tube Pillsbury Grands buttermilk biscuits - 3 T butter, melted - 1/2 cup pancake syrup - 1/3 cup packed brown sugar - 1/2 t cinnamon - 1/4 cup chopped pecans (opt.)

Crockpot Creamy Tortellini Soup

This is a good recipe to start off fall with! I made this last Sunday for an easy dinner to just throw in the Crockpot and just walk away for the day and it was mighty tasty! And I had almost everything I needed already at home! (But there's always that one you have to go to the store to, because it would just be TOO easy to have everything). Ingredients: 1# ground Italian Sausage, browned 1 yellow onion, chopped 2 large carrots, chopped 2 stalks celery, shopped 4 gloves garlic, minced 1T Italian seasoning 2t beef bouillon powder (this is usually in the soup aisle at the grocery store if not in the spice section) 1/2t salt 4 cups beef broth 1/4 cup cornstarch mixed and dissolved in 1/4 cup water 3 cups of half and half 1 - 12oz package three cheese tortellini (or whatever flavor you prefer) 1 package of fresh baby spinach (the smaller bag) Crock it like it's hot: Brown the sausage (and drain) and put it in the Crockpot.
