Easy Cinnamon Sugar Cookies

 This makes a nice small batch of cookies.  Just enough for a few people. You can double the recipe, easy peasy, if you want more. I like that I have all the ingredients on hand.  Today it's over 60 degrees! I'm so happy!

Ingredients:
1 Stick of butter
1/2 Cup of Sugar
1/4 Tsp Vanilla Extract
1 Cup of flour
Cinnamon and sugar for rolling dough.

 Directions: 
Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
Measure out flour into a bowl and set aside.
Using a mixer, cream butter and sugar.
Add Vanilla.
Slowly add flour to the butter mixture. 
Mix Well until you have a soft dough.
Scoop up a Tablespoon of dough and roll into a ball. 
Roll in some cinnamon and sugar. 
Place on a greased cookie sheet. Unless you have one of those cool Silpat mats...I wish!
Place balls on sheet and press down a bit to flatten.
Bake at 350F degrees for 10-12 Minutes until edges are a golden brown. 
Cool on wire rack. Makes about 25 cookies.

Homemade Sloppy Joes

So, normally, I'm not a Sloppy Joes fan.  Anyone mentions them, and all I can think is, what's on the side??...please say pasta! 

However, this recipe makes me want to eat them every week.

Ingredients:

1 1/2lbs Ground beef

1/4 Onion, diced

2 Cloves Garlic, minced 

3/4 Cup Ketchup

3/4 Cup Water

1 Tbsp. Brown Sugar

1 Tsp. Chili Powder

1 Tsp. Dijon Mustard

1/2 Tsp. Red Pepper Flakes

2 Dashes of Worcestershire Sauce

2 Tbsp. Tomato Paste

4 Dashes Tabasco Sauce

Salt and Pepper to taste

Butter

Rolls

Prep:

Brown ground beef till no longer pink. Drain most of fat and add onions and garlic. Cook for a few minutes.  Add the rest of the ingredients. Stir and cover. Simmer for 10-15 Minutes. 

In the meantime, butter rolls and toast on a frying pan. 

Spoon Joes onto the rolls. This recipe is great, 'cause you most likely will have all the ingredients on hand. Enjoy!
