It's Thursday, Welcome Back To The Cocktail Party!

Welcome to Willoughby's Blog Style Cocktail Party. I hope you will find some new blogs to follow and expand your circle of blog friends. I know you're all anxious to mingle, so I'll get right to it.

I'd like to introduce Donna from My Tasty Treasures. I know you'll enjoy her blog as much as I do.






Donna


Welcome to my cozy little corner of cyberspace. I do SO enjoy cooking and baking. What you will find here is what I call Girl Next Door Kinda Cooking. Dishes and desserts that are tried and true, some old, some new. Hope you enjoy what you read and that you'll be back often.



Oreo Brownies




I am quite thankful to Willoughby for this opportunity to meet some new bloggers. Bit about me .. I'm 41, yikes, have 4 children 11 and under, and 4 every other weekend 12 and under. Yes that's 8 every other weekend. Pass me a cocktail now.

I am an RN, and my hubby is a fireman! Hobbies include running, jazzercise, eBay, garage sales, gardening, and of course cooking. Brings me to my blog, My Tasty Treasures. I have a girl next door type of cooking blog. You wont find fancy recipes here, just accesible to all recipes. I try and include step by step pictures, and there is a printable recipe card at the bottom of all my posts. There is a bit of adult humor thrown in so if you want to visit me,and I hope you do, do so without little eyes.

I will be showcasing a favorite recipe of my childrens today. This is simple and easy peasy!! These are called Oreo Brownies. Original recipe found by clicking here. Begin by preparing a box of your favorite brownie mix

then throw in some crushed oreos, bout 1 cup,

bake, and cool. Frost

with vanilla frosting

top with more crushed oreos

Done,
children inhaled these!!



Hope to see you at my blog, My Tasty Treasures, please feel welcome.

Thanks again Willoughby!

Thank you, Donna, for being a guest on my blog.


The cocktail party will continue on Saturday with a new guest blogger. It's not too late to RSVP if you haven't already. You can send your submission to me at thisstopwilloughby@yahoo.com. (If you're not already a follower, you must become one to be a guest blogger at the cocktail party.) I would appreciate it if you could send me your post in html format. If you are submitting a new post, create it on Blogger as you would any post. Save, but don't publish it. From there you can click "edit html" and copy and paste your blog into the body of an email. If you are submitting a previously published post, go into "edit" and follow the same instructions. This makes it much easier for me to display your blog post the way you have written it and saves me a lot of editing.If you have any questions, feel free to email me.

This is the first time I have ever heard of these brownies.

I think they would be dangerous at my house. I am not sure anyone would be willing to share.

I will check out your blog Donna.

Skip Breakfast And Have An Adventure

We're skipping breakfast again.  I know you were expecting Mr. Willoughby to dazzle you with his cooking skills, but he doesn't feel like cooking today.  He wants to go skydiving. Yesterday, a friend sent us a link to an article about a new place to skydive in Michigan.  When I clicked on the link, I was surprised to see a familiar face. We'll get to that in a minute. You may recall that Mr. W started skydiving by taking a tandem jump a few years ago.  With a tandem jump, having a great instructor makes the difference between a fun experience and an amazing experience and Mr. W had Josh Sheppard; one of the best.  Josh is experienced, enthusiastic and passionate about skydiving.  Mr. W had such an amazing experience that he decided to take the AFF course (to learn to jump solo) before they were back on the ground.   So back to that article, the familiar face I saw was Josh.  He and his brother Abe have started a new skydiving business in Owo...

Timeline

I made Spaghetti with Tomato Basil Cream Sauce and Chicken Parmesan for dinner last night. It's not a difficult meal to prepare, but it does require the oven and multiple burners on the cooktop so it heats up the kitchen. After dinner, it was still awfully warm inside, so I left all of the dishes right where there were and my husband and I went outside to sit on the back porch and cool off. We had eaten rather late, so it was already dark outside. Our neighborhood was uncharacteristically quiet and the only sounds were that of the crickets chirping and the faint whoosh of cars passing by on Main Street. It was a perfect summer evening, the sort that you dream about in the middle of February. I asked my husband what he thought we might have been doing at that exact moment one year ago. Had we been sitting in the same place enjoying similarly beautiful weather? Had I made the same meal for dinner? What about five years ago? How about 10, 15, and 20 years ago? I know I've taken a ...

Do These Cookies Come With Instructions?

I have a simple question to ask you.  What is a Christmas cookie?  I've celebrated Christmas every year of my life, but today was the first time I ever thought about the what the term actually means (my son says I have too much time on my hands).   When I looked it up online, the definition read "A sugar cookie, usually cut in festive shapes, that is made and eaten at Christmas."  Really?  Could I have been doing it wrong all these years? Does Christmas mean December 25th, or does it include the entire holiday season?  Would it still be a Christmas cookie if you ate it on Thanksgiving?  Or New Years Eve?  What about other types of cookies?  If I make Chocolate Truffle cookies, for example, can they technically be called Christmas cookies?   And should I wait until Christmas to serve them?    Who are Christmas cookies for?  I know a lot of people, myself included,  make up platter...
