Pump up the jam! Pump it up!

So if any of you have little ones, you have probably watched the new cartoon on Nick Jr., Mike the Knight. They love to eat jam tarts on that show. Of course, that's what Brody thought we should make next. Here is our best shot. Every recipe was in metric measurements as this is an English dish. Which also means we talked with an English accent as we made these. I encourage you to read this with an accent as well. It makes for a fun twist. Luckily, most measuring cups have the mL mark on them. I might would have been in trouble. Also, if you ever travel abroad, an electric mixer is referred to as a food processor. I feel my brain growing as we speak. They also make a tart dish. We improvised with cookie cutters and then forming them into a bowl like structure. This recipe came from allrecipes.co.uk. They are great! Very similar taste to a jellied biscuit. We like them! A little messy to make, but worth the quality time with Brody. Now, we will settle down to watch Mike the Knight with our plate of jam tarts and a spot of tea. Ta-Ta!!

Oh Snap!

One of my favorite dishes from O'Charleys is the potato soup. Potato/potatoe??? Anyway, I saw this recipe from pinterest, of course. It looked easy enough. No crazy ingredients. I didn't really pay attention to how much of each thing though. It took like 1/2 gallon of milk! It was also a good thing I googled how to put potatoes in the microwave. Apparently, the potatoes will explode if you don't stab holes in them. I left out the onions Unless an onion is fried, I hate it! Not exactly O'Charleys, but really good!

Rolo's....'nuff said!

Ok. Made a trip to the grocery store so kitchen wrecker is back on track. Rolo's are my favorite candies! Thanks to pinterest, I found a recipe for Rolo cookies. I bought three packs of candies to make cookies with, but only two made it to the kitchen. I love them soooo much! Anyway, fairly easy, except the mixer dough hooks do not play nice. These are amazing!
