French Onion Soup

-

For a long time now I've been intrigued with French Onion Soup. I'm not exactly sure why except that I love the smell of onions cooking. For whatever reason I finally got around to making some.

I had never made or tasted any before and wasn't sure what to expect but am happy to say that I did like the flavor. The crusty bread, the Gruyere cheese, and the combo of herbs made it delicious. Before the thyme and basil flavors were simmered into the soup I wasn't real impressed but those two definitely added terrific flavor. I think roasting the onions in the oven also played a large part in giving the soup a hearty flavor.

I found the recipe here and it is under Best French Onion Soup. They have a great printable so check them out sometime and have some yummy soup!

Be Blessed!

Creamy Finger Jello

I was asked to bring finger Jello to serve with a hot lunch us room Mom's were serving to Serena's classroom at school. Jello isn't something I typically serve,but I have about 2 or 3 recipes using Jello that I make about once in a blue moon. One reason I make this one is because it isn't a typical, plain finger Jello. But also because it looks like a two step process when it really isn't. Everything is mixed as one and it separates as it sets. And the cream adds a good flavor. 2 large boxes Jello 4 packages plain gelatin 4½ cups boiling water ¼ cup cold water 1 cup heavy cream Combine the Jello and gelatin and whisk together. Add the boiling water and whisk until Jello is dissolved. Add the remaining ingredients and stir. Pour into a lightly greased (this helps to remove from the pan in a cleaner cut, spray the pan then wipe it down with a paper towel) glass 9 X 13 pan. Cover and chill till firm. Cut into desired shapes or squares and serve.

White Chocolate Pumpkin Cheesecake and a Giveaway

                                                        So Smooth, So Creamy so delicious!! I was asked to bring a Pumpkin Cheesecake to a ladies evening at church and my friend Rose directed me to this Taste of Home recipe. Wow, I'm so glad she did! I like when cheesecakes are tall and creamy but most recipes are baked in 9 inch pans and are more flat and dry. I increased the recipe in part so that it would fill a 9 inch Springform pan. It did not disappoint! It was smooth and super creamy! I liked the nut topping too, it added just enough crunch to keep it interesting. ☺ And everyone seemed to enjoy it a lot! Crust ingredients: 1½ cups crushed gingersnap cookies (about 32 cookies) ¼ ...
