Pumpkin Whoopie Cookies

I was browsing some other cooking blogs, and found this recipe. The pictures looked so good! I bookmarked it with the intention of making it later in the fall. Well, that later was last week. They didn’t just look good, they tasted very good. Here are mine:

Sloppy Joes

You come home from work (or school), after a long day of breaking rocks, assembling widgets, or sitting through meetings… You’re hungry. Everyone’s hungry. There’s “nothing to eat.” Why not whip out some sloppy joes? They’re pretty quick, tasty, and they make a decent meal. The main ingredients are: ground beef, some tomato product, and some spices. They take less than 30 minutes, and you get a hot meal for not much work. Just make sure you have enough ketchup for the recipe, and for the future! Nothing’s worse than running out of ketchup.

Country Roasted Chicken

My inspiration for roasting a whole chicken came from watching an episode of Alton Brown’s “Good Eats” and a recipe called “Thyme on your hands Chicken” from the Lionhouse Cookbook. I made it once before I started my blog, so today I’m making it again, and taking pictures to share along the way.

What does “roasting” mean? It just means to bake. Only, you bake a cake, and you roast meat!

I found the Good Eats episode on YouTube (2 parts):
