It’s time for Karen’s Killer Fixin’s! Over the years, I’ve filled two 4-inch, 3-ring binders with my own creations as well as recipes my family and friends were willing to share with me. I simply love to cook and want to share that love with my readers. So every Friday, I share one recipe I think you and your family might enjoy. It might be a main course recipe from my own kitchen or a guest author favorite. It could be a cookie or baked item. Candy. Salads. Whatever strikes the eye and fancy…which today is TURTLE BROWNIES!

Who doesn’t love a pan full of yummy, gooey brownies? I love turtle candies, too, and this recipe gives you a taste of both. This is a wonderful panful of flavor that is always welcome at a Halloween party.

I hope you enjoy today’s Killer Fixin’s. Happy eating!

This recipe is for the chocolate lovers in all of us. A triple treat of chocolate! The crumb crust and drizzle is great for other recipes, too, so feel free to get creative. As you can imagine, this cheesecake is rich but I’m betting you can find enough people to help you polish it off. 🙂

Changes Are Coming Around the Mountain at Karen’s Killer Book Bench Blog!

July 30, 2019 Karen Docter 15 Comments

Changes are coming around the mountain here at Karen’s Killer Book Bench and Killer Fixin’s blog.

As subscribers, you all know that I took my first real vacation in over 10 years at the beginning of July. I went offline for an entire week. LONGEST week in my life but I did it…well, I did slip once mid-week. But shhh, we won’t tell my husband! 🙂

I discovered a couple of things with this exercise. First, I can step away from the internet for longer than five minutes without completely losing my mind and, second, I have to trim my internet presence for the sake of my career and my health.

Karen’s Killer Fixin’s: BACON WRAPPED CHICKEN

July 26, 2019 Karen Docter 13 Comments

I simply love to cook and want to share that love with my readers. So every Friday, I share one recipe I think you and your family might enjoy. It might be a main course recipe. A cookie or baked item. Candy. Salads. Whatever strikes my eye and fancy…which today is BACON WRAPPED CHICKEN!

Everyone who knows me knows I LOVE BACON!! Anything with bacon added is great in my book. 🙂 This wrapped chicken is savory and flavorful and surrounded in BACON. Did I mention how much I love bacon? Snicker. I do like the versatility of this recipe because, with just a tweak or two of cheese or vegetables, the flavor palate changes. With my new challenge of making meals that are Weight Watchers friendly, this is a good one…with the exception of the cheese. Zero points for chicken, veggies, and bacon. Win-win!

I hope you enjoy today’s Killer Fixin’s. Happy eating!

Karen’s Killer Fixin’s: Blueberry Muffins

I love this recipe for blueberry muffins because it’s so easy to make. The muffins are moist and delicious, and bursting with fresh blueberry flavor. I love them best hot and slathered with butter but they’re good cold, too, a great muffin for on-the-go.

I hope you enjoy today’s Killer Fixin’s. Happy eating!
