Happy Holidays!! I think we all do a fair bit of baking and cooking around the holidays, so here are some of my all-time favorites... and all the rest on my main Recipe Page : )

(I get a wee something when you buy through me, so thank you soo much! 


































Balsamic Olive Oil Turkey!  So easy, soo delicious!

Chances are really high you'll be making a pie for Thanksgiving, or, if you're like me, you'll be making LOTS of pies!! lol! This is a really easy pie crust recipe, and very low in fat, too -- yippee!  A healthy pie!!

Yum, Blueberry Pie, and healthy, too! 












Easy Schmeasy Pie Crust:  This is the easiest pie crust, ever -- make it right in the pie plate, no rolling, just mix and press with your fingers.... and it's excellent for a low cholesterol diet... very low in fat and sugar, so great for diabetics, too... I love it because it's fast & easy (much like myself! lol!), delicious, and no lard -- ick!! 

The trick is to mix the milk with the oil -- I just shake it in a jar, or put the milk and oil in a glass, cover with plastic wrap, shake shake shake!  Fun to make with the kids, too!https://buildyourownhousebodylife.blogspot.com/2010/10/peachpie-creamy-smooth-peach-pie-pie.html


Cherry Cheesecake: 
My famous No-Bake Cherry Cheesecake... As Featured on The Talk!

I jokingly call it my 'Marry Me Cheesecake', since if you make this and give some to your ' Significant Other', they'll be asking you to marry them! Hahahaha!  

Suffice it to say I haven't shared this Cherry Cheesecake with anyone for a while, now... and I just made one last weekend -- oooh, sooo good! It's craazy delicious, cool and creamy, really light, and you can make a low-fat version, too (I don't... I loove da full o' fat version... just eat it in the morning, then you'll have the whole day to work it off, right? lol!) https://buildyourownhousebodylife.blogspot.com/2010/10/cherrycheesecake-marry-me-cheesecake.html

























I love to cook, so here are a whole lot of my tried and true Recipes! And, let's just say you're trying to 'catch' someone you really love, or really 
want to love... make them the 
Cherry Cheesecake Recipe... it's Unbelievably light and delicious! The Cherry Cheesecake can be made with or without the Cherries, and you can easily substitute other fruits, like Blueberries or Strawberries, for the Cherries. If you ever wanted an American or British Patriotic Cake, you could put blueberries in the middle of the cheesecake, and carefully put the cherries around the outside. Or vice versa...! (Now there's a phrase straight out of the 80's, that you hardly ever hear these days..!) So here's the funny part... this really is some sort of aphrodisiac cheesecake, 'cause once you've made this for somebody, they're gonna want to marry you, so don't be goin' around just makin' this for anybody! haha! (Oh, and invite me over... I'll bring the wine, you supply the cheesecake! haha!) Happy Eating! Ailsa : )

Cookies 'n Cream Cake: This is a gorgeous little cake made with just cookies and whipped cream... 

You can shred coconut on it, if you love coconut, but it's craaazy delicious on it's own.  You can get the lids to help with this cake... it's just layers of whip cream with layers of cookies... sooo easy, then covered with whipped cream, then chilled.  When you cut into it, it looks like a 7 layer chocolate cake!  You can use Vanilla Wafer Cookies, too, but we love the thin chocolate cookies... yummmm!

Easy and Delicious, No-Fail Shortbread -- yummmm!! These are the most delicious wee Shortbread cookies - crazy delicious, and you can make them up into dough rolls and pop them in the fridge until you want to bake them - if you want fresh shortbread when people you love come over! lol! 








































These 7 Layer Cookies are soo delicious - I have a batch in the oven, right now, in time for Christmas! lol!

Easy and Delicious Pecan Pie.. the Secret is the Pie Crust :) 

Yummy Pecan Pie!

I just made 3 Pecan Pies... 2 for the Church, and one for 'tasting' ... lol!  (I always like to keep one for meself!! haha!)  It was very easy to make, and I was worried, as many people are, that the Pecan Pie wouldn't set, because you're looking at all these ingredients that are 'wet', so you're thinking it might be runny, but it totally set, no problemo, so if you've been thinking about trying a Pecan Pie, or three.... this is a nice little recipe!  I just sent the photos from my cell phone, so will post those in a sec!




My favorite, favorite Peach Pie -- the colder it gets, the better it gets! : )

Grocery Delivery to your home - Wow! I looove it! 

This is so cool - let's say you've now been binge watching your fave shows, and you STILL have 4 more seasons left of your brand new-to-you show, soo you don't want to get up off the couch, but, also, you know you should probably get you' some groceries?

Problem - Solution! lol! 

Check and see if your area is covered by either VONS or Safeway... they cover some of the same areas, and some different areas - does that make sense? lol!

I loove this Delivery Service for Groceries and whatever you might need, right to your door, just in general, but what a great idea in bad weather, no more stooopid traffic, or if you're not feeling up to going out to the store, or you just don't feeeel like going out to the store...or if you're like me, and get so caught up in whatever you're working on, and don't want to stop just 'for food' - haha! And no need for Taxis, if you need to take a cab to the grocery store...that's a huge savings, right there, right?

Wow, Grocery Delivery Service - that's fantastico!! Yippee!!  Hello, Future - you look great! : )




I think this is such an amazing new service for your groceries - and anything you ever need from the grocery store - if you've ever had a time when you had a tiny baby, or you're super-busy (same thing - hahaha! All the New Moms will be laughing, now - lol!)..but if you're busy at work, or busy at home, or traffic, or you're busy binge-watching your favorite shows - hahahahaha! This might be the new wave of the future, right? Ordering your groceries online? (I wrote this before Online Grocery Shopping became a Big Thing - lol!)

And I would imagine you would save a lot of money, since you would just buy what you actually need... might really work for dieting, too, since, well, if we're in the store, and be 'we', I mean 'me'...anyway, let's say I've got my grocery list, then I'm at the store, and I think, you know what, I'll just nick down the Candy Aisle, see if Chocolate is on sale (see how much I like Sale Chocolate - hahaha! Is it tastier, or just less expensive?? We'll never know! It's all gone, now - hahaha!)

Not that you couldn't just 'browse' for that, anyway... right? Me thinkin', now, o' course, where is the Sale Chocolate, online?? hahaha! But let's say you're you, and not me, and you have a LOT more self control than maybe ME do... so you order all the things you really wanted, and not just a whole cart full o' Wunderbars, on sale... 

Hahahaha! Wouldn't THAT be fun - just a cartful of Sale Chocolate?? haha! 
Okay, clearly, me needs a treat! lol! : ) #SaleChocolate! Ha!

Shop Gifts Under $10 from See's Candies!Create your own Custom Chocolate Mix at See's Candies!  Okay, this is MY kind o' Luxury Reward - me always 'reward' mah'self wit' da delicious chocolates! hahaha!  I loove Sees Candies - soo deeelish! The Walnut Squares (#43 - is it bad for me to know the number?? hahahahaha!) (I've got your number..oooh, is it #43??  I hope so! lol!) 
Ooh, and I see that See's Candies has a sale, right now! Yahoo! 
Sale Chocolate - yes, please! haha! Yum!
