I concocted these spicy zucchini oatmeal cookies to use up the abundant zucchini in my garden. I like my oatmeal cookies to have a little jazz, but if you are not a fan of ground cloves, they can be omitted. These not-too-sweet, cake-like cookies are perfect with a cup of coffee or tea.

Easy Texas Chili
This is an easy Texas chili recipe I learned from my mother. I like my chili with a little fire to it, but you can adjust this recipe to your liking. This chili only gets better the second day, so don't worry about using a large pot and having more than your family can eat the first night because you can have it a couple of nights later. Enjoy โ I know I do every time I make this chili.
Spiced Pecans
Spiced pecans are so simple to make and so good to eat! I have tried several different combinations of spices but keep coming back to using cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
