Pinned, Prepared, Perfect

Loaded Potato Casserole | My Kitchen AddictionsConfession…I have nothing to hide!  Pinterest is an obsession… no another addiction of mine! When I should be doing the checkbook or cleaning the house, you’ll often find me on Pinterest. Just check out my Pinterest page…it’s proof!  I asked my daughter the other day if I had too many Pinterest boards and she was honest and said, “Yes!”  ”But, Look!” I said.  ”I have everything organized!”   I didn’t have the nerve to tell her I had several secret boards!

Today I launch a new feature on My Kitchen Addictions….Pinned, Prepared, Perfect!  The recipes I share  will be ones I’ve pinned on my Pinterest page, prepared in my kitchen and consider perfect!

Today, I share Loaded Potato Casserole.  You can find the recipe pinned on my Pinterest Sides board.

When an opportunity came to me recently to participate in a spice giveaway with Cooking Planit, I never knew what that really meant until I started sharing my blogging with so many amazing food bloggers who participated in the same giveaway and individuals associated with Cooking Planit! I have shared, gained and learned a great deal!  Cooking Planit challenged me again recently  by asking me to tryout their Cooking Planit Personal Kitchen Assistant on the web and available as an app.  I took it on this little project with excitement, and I am now sharing my journey with you.  I encourage you to try this app yourself and share your experience.

24-Hour Green Salad

24 Hour Green Salad | My Kitchen AddictionsGrandma Mam, who lived on this earth for over 100 years, was my husband’s grandmother on his father’s side of the family.  She was an amazing lady, cook and gardener.  I have such fond memories of going to her little house for family events.  It was crowded, but that didn’t matter to anyone!  We always had lots of good, family time when we got together.  Mam’s kitchen was small, with one row of cabinets and a kitchen table.  She also had an antique cupboard where you would always find pies and cookies laid out.  I have a cookbook Mam gave me in 1980, in which I use to prepare many of our family’s favorite recipes.  The cookbook is titled “The Plains Plain Cooker.”  Two of those recipes were on our table for Easter Sunday dinner.  Besides this 24-Hour Green Salad was Chocolate Sheet cake.  What made this salad even better…my daughter prepared it for us!  Thanks girl!

Ranger Cookies

Ranger-Cookies|MyKitchenAddictionsI had always heard of Ranger Cookies and even had a few over the years, but never paid any attention to where they got their name.  Then recently, I was going through my mom’s recipe cards with my sister and there it was… this recipe for Chocolate Chip Ranger Cookies.  That told me the Ranger Cookie  had been around for a while.   I looked around the web and in a few of my cookbooks and found a common ingredient in Ranger Cookies…cereal.  Several different kinds of cereal were included, such as Cornflakes, Rice Krispies and Wheaties like mom used. Some recipes forego the chocolate chips, but I’m so glad mom’s recipe didn’t!   Ranger-Cookies|MyKitchenAddictions
