cheese crisps and pb.and.h

Lately, Eden has been venturing out with new foods, especially two of her Momma's favorites. I accidentally made cheese crisps years ago and just remembered it the other day. Eden is now a huge fan. So what are cheese crisps? Grated cheddar cheese shaped into little rectangles and baked in the oven until golden brown -- delicious!!

I've now made cheese crisps twice and here are some pointers {if you are your family's cook, you won't need these, but I'm not so I would}:

  • spray a tin foil covered cookie sheet with pam {I used pam for baking and it worked great} then add the cheese shaped into little rectangles. In the photo above I forgot the pam so the crisps came out in little pieces when I tried to get them off the tin foil - dang.
  • make sure the cheese rectangle is roughly the same thickness all around, works best if it's just one over-lapping layer of cheese pieces - just smush around with your fingers
  • bake between 5-10 minutes on 390
  • watch for the edges to turn brown
  • take out of the oven
  • then use paper towels to soak up the excess oil on each cheese crisp
  • and dry on a cookie rack

You're left with a yummy all-cheese, crackery thing. Try not to eat them all yourself.
Here's Miss E waiting on her cheese crisps and enjoying the yumminess ...



Eden also tried her first PB&H {peanut-butter and honey) sandwich last week. I was sitting on the couch with her enjoying a sandwich, and she decided that she needed to have it. She ate nearly the whole half, then I ate up the part she left that was just gummed on. Couldn't let it go to waste.

Did you notice the gorgeous, big, shiny bracelet I'm wearing with shorts and a t? It's my "laundry bracelet." Like tying a red string around your finger to remember something, but I just use a big piece of jewelry. If I don't wear it, I end up with wet clothes in the washer for a day that have started to smell and have to be rewashed. Gross but true. This is the second bracelet to assume this role. Works like a charm. So much so, that I'll find myself looking down and thinking, "Oh, forgot I had this on." Nice.
