I adapted this recipe a bit, substituting toffee bits for butterscotch, pecans for almonds, and milk chocolate for semisweet.. To make these chocolate dipped toffee logs, begin by creaming your butter for 30 seconds.
Now add your brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Beat until combined. Beat in your egg and vanilla. Then mix in your flour. Stir in your toffee pieces. 
Divide your dough in half and shape each half into a 9 inch long log, flatten them so that they are about 2 1/2 inches wide.
Wrap them up and chill for a couple hours or overnight. Using a sharp knife, cut logs crosswise into 1/4 inch slices. 
Place on parchment lined cookie sheet,
and bake in a preheated 350 oven for 8-10 minutes, 
until edges are very lightly browned. I don't let mine go that long..
Transfer to wire rack to cool. 
Meanwhile, toast your chopped pecans, 
for 8-10 minutes in a 350 oven, stirring occasionally and let cool. In a small sauce pan combine your chocolate chips and shortening. Cook over low heat till melted. Dip ends of cookies in chocolate, then dip in nuts.
You can dip one end, 
both ends,
and even make some without the nuts. 
Place on waxed paper till firm.
Very tasty cookie,
a lovely treat. 
Oh, uh huh.. the toasted nuts, the chocolate, the buttery toffee filled cookie, uh huh.
See ya in about a week!
Comfort Cabbage Pasta Dish
Stove Top Stuffed Peppers
We were leaving NYU Medical Center,actually the freaking $50.00 parking garage for chrissakes, and I wanted to take sexual advantage of our brief time in the city. I started undressing in the car. FFH didn't bat an eye, he probably just thought to himself, yay car sex for the journey home. NO my fighter of flames, I wanted to role play. And NO not OB/GYN and pregnant woman, not landscaper and sunbather, not fred and wilma, been there, done that, BORING, I wanted to put on my fishnets and heels 
and play street hooker and john.
I even had a banana prop 
I was going to use in my actress scenario as I waited patiently half nude by the curb.. I pleaded with him to drop me on the corner,
and drive around the block and then make a bee line for me.. ya know as if he were gonna pay me for some honky tonk...some action. Do you know he had the audacity to tell me NO, and not just no , an unequivocally resounding NO! NO! NO! 
He shook his head, the very same way he shakes his head when he reads my blog mind you, and said,"You are out of your f&*(ing mind!" Let me tell you, I can persuade my handsome FFH into anything, but he drew the line at letting me play street hooker.
Was I ever pissed off, even my pout with my gorgeously sexy protruding lower red lip 
didnt work this time. I must admit his stern disposition regarding this matter turned me the hell on. Well that and the way his fingers worked through the holes of my fishnets
as he explained why he didn't want me on the street corner.
I like to just curl up on the couch with this and watch 24. Or Greys Anatomy.
It is delicious. Just make sure to add lotsa pepper, I like it like that. Total comfort, baby!
Here is a dish Ive 
My in laws enjoyed it immensely also. How can you beat peppers cooked on the stove with a filling of meat, rice, peppers,peas, fresh mozzarella cheese, and a homemade marinara sauce.
Can't .. sorry.. it is delicious!!
A cookie to finish this post off. Milk Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies. A simple back of the Nestle package recipe, that is just wonderful. Milk chocolate, oatmeal, hint of cinnamon makes for a cookie that disappears in 1 day. 
VEEERRRY good.. Gotta go..I'm being taken out to dinner tonight by my guy and I must prepare for the aftermath.., i.e. 
I'm getting Braziled...
and decided to make it after seeing it on 
it comes together so easily. I love saying that... comes together so easily. Begin first by toasting some pine nuts and setting them aside. Now brown your sausage, 
I used Italian sausage, a mix of hot and sweet, as I did not have turkey sausage on hand. Drain the fat. Toss in some pressed garlic and cook for a few. 
Next stir in your broth, water, penne, sun dried tomatoes, and salt.
Increase the heat a bit and cook for 15-18 minutes. Stir often cutie pies. Now stir in your spinach by the handfuls. 
One handful at a time until wilted. 
Off the heat stir in your freshly grated cheese and your toasted pine nuts. 
Serve. 
Lovely,
tasty, healthy, weeknight dinner.
It Comes together so easily. One Pot!
Looks kinda Christmas-y. 
I am submitting this to 
My darling children were asking for 
mix them all together. Spread
in a foil lined 9x13 pan.
Melt your chocolate chips
and spread over the top. 
CHILL. 
Cut into mini squares.
Just like
a buckeye, 
without all the rolling and dipping. What a treat. Delicious!
Kids favorite for sure! Make sure to chill them.
One more treat was made that day. A recipe I saw on my sister's blog, 
Begin by creaming butter and powdered sugar.
Stir in your vanilla. Add your flour,
and then stir in your mini chocolate chips and toffee bits. 
The dough tastes good, 
I tried. I love to be a bad girl. Roll into small balls. I just used my small Pampered Chef scooper. Place on parchment or silpat, flatten a bit
and bake at 350 for 12-14 minutes. Cool a bit on the sheet 
before transferring to rack. 
You may dip in chocolate if u wish. I deemed it not necessary.
They taste better the next day and better the following. A delicious take on a shortbread cookie. 
Thanks, Denise. get your ass back on blogger, OK?
