Cheese Stuffed Olives
Will definitely impress others! To fill the olives, use a pastry bag or plastic baggie with the corner cut out. What works best is a cookie press. Also, you can use bottled roasted garlic, but I like to make my own.
Peanut Butter Cookie in a Mug
This recipe came from a very special person - my grandma. She would say that she found the recipe inside her shoe. For a better taste put more butter on top of the cookie before putting in it in the microwave.
Peanut Butter Breakfast Syrup
My daughters wanted peanut butter syrup on their waffles, so I made this up. It's delicious! Stores in the refrigerator for a really long time. Serve over pancakes with sliced bananas. Try coconut extract in place of vanilla for added flavor.
