Dessert & Dinner of the Month Club

Just a quick post tonight to tell of some new recipes that  I've tried and I also wanted to post the recipe for last post's raisin cookies!

Last night I made the Pioneer Woman's "Shrimp Stir-Fry" recipe.  I am relatively new to the seafood world, but it was so good!  We loved all the fresh veggies that were in it, like corn and zucchini!


Tonight I used my Amish cookbook from Stevi and made chicken salad sandwiches that included grilled chicken, cheddar cheese, celery, mayo, and crushed potato chips!


I decided to try something unique for Father's Day this year.  My dad will be receiving a Dessert of the Month Club and Tom's Dad (TD) will be receiving a Dinner of the Month Club.  Shh..don't tell them!  I think this will be fun and hopefully not too overwhelming!  I would probably make this stuff for Tom and I anyway, so why not gift the dads with some home cooking!

Lastly, here's my mom's raisin cookie recipe:

1 cup raisins
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup butter
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. nutmeg

Bring raisins and water to a boil.  Simmer, uncovered for 5 mins, then set aside.  Cream sugar and butter together until light.  Beat in eggs and vanilla until mixture is fluffy.  Stir in raisins.  Combine remaining ingredients and stir into creamed mixture.  Drop dough by tablespoons 2 inches apart.  Bake at 375 degrees or until golden brown.
