Out with the old,

In with the new...

I start orientation for my new job, tomorrow! I am excited for something new and for all the benefits and experiences that I will get with this job. Stop by and I will help you find whatever you need and give you ideas for meals!

Fresh Ideas:

Take your favorite cookies, pie, cake, or whatever else it may be and make something new.

More often than not people want to have new things or things that they can call their own. 

What I do a lot of is modifying recipes to make something new.

Cookies:

Take normal chocolate chip cookies (your favorite recipe) and add something to it:

pecans and caramel, macadamia nuts and coconut, banana, cinnamon & cayenne, orange and almond, your favorite liquor, etc.  

* Come up with fun little names for your creations!

Pies and Crust:

Take your favorite crust for pie and add something to that:

cinnamon, nuts, nutmeg, coconut, zest, etc. 

And for the filling the options are endless. 

I like to do seasonal things mostly, but with a twist:

blueberry & lemon with almonds, peach & blackberry with pecans, apple & cranberry with walnuts,  key lime with macadamia nut & coconut, or chocolate & orange with hazelnuts.

Until next time..

Try some of these ideas or come up with your own. 

Either way it's something new and fun!
