Thanksgiving Dinner

                                               Happy Thanksgiving!

Today I made two pumpkin pies and green bean casserole for Thanksgiving dinner.  For the pumpkin pies, I used the pumpkin pie mix that I used in my other post last month: http://thejuniorbaker12.blogspot.com/2016/10/pumpkin-pie_19.html . One of these cans makes one 9" pumpkin pie I made two pies, so I needed two cans.


You will also need per one can of mix one 9" pie shell, 2 eggs, and 5 fl. oz. of evaporated milk, or 2/3 cup of evaporated milk.





Mix it together and pour into the pie shell. I used Keebler's Ready
Crust Graham pie shell.


Before I start mixing ingredients, I always preheat the oven first. For this recipe preheat your oven to 425. One you put the pies in the oven, bake at 425 for 15 minutes then reduce the temperature to 350, then bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean.



The recipe for the green bean casserole is on the back of the French's French Fried Onions container

I doubled the recipe for the amount of people that we had. Since we didn't have 2 cans of cream of mushroom soup, I used cream of chicken for the second can. Mix it all in a baking dish. I used a 13x9 baking pan.  First, mix the milk, soup, and pepper together.


Then stir in the green beans.


Add the onions.



Then bake in the oven at 350 for 30 minutes.

Triple Chip Cookies

Today I made triple chip cookies - white chocolate, dark chocolate and milk chocolate chips. First, preheat your oven to 375 F. The list of ingredients are: 2 1/4 cup flour 1 tsp. Baking soda 1 tsp. salt 1 cup softened butter 3/4 cup white sugar 3/4 cup Brown sugar 1 tsp. vanilla extract 2 large eggs 1 3/4 cup chocolate chips (or whole 11.5 oz. bag) In a small bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda and salt. In a larger bowl cream the butter, the two sugars, and the vanilla extract  together. Add the eggs, the stir the flour mixture in and add the chocolate chips. The dough gets slightly thick, do you may have to use your hands to finish mixing the dough. Form the cookie dough into small to medium sized balls. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes depending on your oven. Place onto a cooling rack to set and cool. Let them cool for 5 minutes or so. Then, enjoy! - The Junior Baker

Snickerdoodles

Since Fall is here, I thought I would post a fall themed recipe. So I usually use the recipe I have in my Betty Crocker cookbook, but today I wanted to try something different. I went online and found this recipe from Cookies and Cups, so check out her blog. I think I will probably use the Betty Crocker recipe, so I will tell you more about that at the end of this post. As usual when creaming butter and sugar, you really want to make sure you do it well. I think I creamed mine for at least 3 minutes. More time, such as 5 minutes, would be even better. Once the butter is all creamed together with the sugars, you are going to add your egg and egg yolk one at a  time.   Before we mix the eggs, we are going to add our baking soda, cream of tartar, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla. I didn't include the clip of me adding the baking soda because I didn't want you to get it confused with the cream of tartar, but don't worry, I added it. So once all of that is is ...

Winter Cupcakes

Happy New Year! I made some chocolate cupcakes and used a snowflake topper and winter sprinkles I got at Michaels. I used Duncan Hines chocolate cake mix and used Duncan Hines whipped vanilla icing and whipped chocolate icing.  So first, follow the instructions on the back of the cake box. I added another egg and used milk instead of water to make the cupcakes richer and denser. Bake it in the oven according to the back of the box. I used one box, which typically makes 24 cupcakes. To decorate the cupcakes you will need a can of Duncan Hines whipped chocolate icing, a can of Duncan Hines whipped vanilla icing, 1-2 piping bags, a large star decorating tip, snowflake treat toppers, and Wilton's winter sprinkle mix. You will also need a large circle cake board ( I think I used either a 10 inch or a 12 inch) and a wine glass for the display I used. First, using the large star tip, fill a piping bag with white icing. The reason why I said you ...
