Lemon Burst Cookies
As is probably obvious, I still haven’t been cooking (or baking). Good thing I took these pictures in… oh… APRIL. Slacker, right here. I’ve been contemplating whether or not I would update more successfully if I changed to a different format. Maybe a few pictures, a little bit of commentary, and the recipe. I don’t [...][....]

Butterfinger Cake
Nothing like sneaking in a post on the last day of the month, just so that the entire month of June wouldn’t go by without a post from me! Honestly, I haven’t been cooking a lot. If you’ve been around for awhile, you know I lean towards baking… lots of yummy and fattening goodies! Well, [...][....]

Lemon Blueberry Muffins
I get quite a few cooking magazines in the mail, and most of the time, I thumb through them and then pass them along to someone else without ever making anything. Or I’ll mark the pages, but never get back to making something. When I got my latest issue of Simple and Delicious though, I [...][....]

White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies
Somehow, the longer I go between making posts, the harder it gets to break the silence and post something new. I don’t have a good excuse. I made these cookies for the first time just before Christmas. I made them for the second time last week, so I think it’s way past time to share [...][....]

Scalloped Corn
Today’s recipe is not exactly fine dining. What it is, however, is super easy and very tasty. I know there are some scalloped corn recipes out there that call for fresh corn, and all that, but this is not one of those recipes. This is a typical “open cans and boxes and mix them together” [...][....]

Peanut Butter Toffee Cookies
I really don’t know what has taken me so long to write about these cookies. Except that maybe Jenn is a lazy Cook! The information on Flickr tells me that I baked these cookies on October 19th! Oh my word! I knew I still had a few recipes lingering in the drafts folder from Thanksgiving [...][....]

Cookies and Cream Cheesecake
Thanks to everyone who “de-lurked” last week to say hello! And if you read, but didn’t comment, that’s okay! I still appreciate you! This week, I have a super easy cheesecake that I found over at Buns in My Oven. Cookies and cheesecake? How can you go wrong? I put this together for [...][....]

Pepperoni Pizza Dip
Let’s take a brief intermission from the sweets, shall we? No worries, there will be more coming. (I really ought to have named this blog Jenn Bakes or perhaps even Jenn Eats Sugar rather than Jenn Cooks… I DO enjoy baking far more than anything else.) I found this little dip recipe on a quilting [...][....]

Looking Back at 2009 on Jenn Cooks
I started off 2009 looking back at the previous year of cooking. As we embark upon 2010, I thought it would be a fitting way to start this year as well! You can see the Looking Back at 2008 post here. Last year I posted my intention to post more recipes… I eclipsed my 2008 [...][....]

Peanut Blossom Cookies
Here’s another cookie that I made for Christmas goody bags this year, but once again these pictures were not taken this year.

Coconut Fudge Cups
And yet again, I let nearly two months go by without posting. I really have no excuse as I have at least 5 posts in draft. Suffice it to say, I’m probably never going to be one of those bloggers who has well-timed holiday recipes posted in the weeks preceding the Big Day. I’m a [...][....]

Creamy Chicken Enchiladas
I absolutely love these enchiladas. A family friend passed along this recipe when I was in high school, and it was love at first sight for me. I used to call this dish my favorite, but I don’t anymore. Now, that’s not because I like it any less… it’s just because I can’t pick a [...][....]

Jello Shots
Who doesn’t love jello shots? Granted, there are different kinds of jello shot lovers out there… there are those who view them as merely a conveyance for as much alcohol as humanly possible, and then there are those who actually want their jello shots to taste good. I’m in the latter group. Partly because I’m [...][....]

It never had a name, and every time I requested it, I called it “my favorite salad.” Eventually [...][....]
