Did you know you can make cookies using a cake mix? It’s a huge shortcut when you want to bake a batch of cookies. And cake mix cookies only have 3 ingredients – a box of cake mix, an egg and a softened stick of butter.
Since cake mix cookies are so simple I don’t even need to look up a recipe. I just mix & bake. Check it out, y’all

Y’all know I like to make things myself as opposed to going out to buy it. I decided to whip up some rosemary crackers made with olive oil & garlic. YUM! I have that amazing rosemary bush right outside my door and I’ve ALWAYS got olive oil. Let’s go!

When we travel to west Texas to visit my aunt, she always picks up a couple of loaves of our favorite jalapeno-cheese bread from a nearby deli for us to enjoy while we were there.
I wondered if I could make a loaf of that spicy, cheesy bread at home. So I decided that the next time I was baking RancherMan his favorite sandwich bread I’d make one loaf into a jalapeno-cheese bread.
I figured it would as simple as rolling out the dough, sprinkling chopped jalapenos and some grated jalapeno muenster cheese given to us by a very sweet friend before rolling the dough into a loaf before baking.
But did it work?
