My first attempt at "cooking"




I'm dedicating this post to Jen!


I have cooked before, in fact, I make grilled chicken, porksteaks, steaks, pork chops, all boxed sides, canned foods, frozen foods, boxed meals, etc. The problem with me cooking from scratch or not from boxed is that I tend to screw it up somehow or someway.


So I was at Jen's today watching her make Chicken Spaghetti and Poppy Seed Chicken Casserole, and she was getting ready to prepare a cobbler for some friends of ours who just had a baby. And on Jen's countertop is her best friend, Laptop. Why the laptop? Because Jen's gets some great recipes from The Pioneer Woman Cooks ( http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/ ).


So after I left Jen's, I came home and decided to pull up the Pioneer woman website and what did I find when the website popped up? Those yummy cookies shown above. Well, I don't know what I was thinking but I decided to "make" those yummy cookies the pioneer woman calls "spreads". Believe it or not, they actually turned out. Okay, so they're kind of dry tasting because I used "butter" (because thats all I had) rather than "margarine" which is what the recipe called for.


Ta Da! They at least look edible!
