Karen’s Killer Fixin’s: Shortbread Cookies

June 30, 2017 Karen Docter 12 Comments

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. A cookie or baked item. Candy. Salads. Whatever strikes my eye and fancy…which today is SHORTBREAD COOKIES!

I haven’t made these cookies in forever but now that I’ve come across the recipe again, I’m going to have to make some. I found this recipe when my children were young. They were great cookies for the littlest ones, especially when they were teething. They are delicious and practically melt in your mouth. I recommend making a double batch. They’re THAT good!

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

Karen

Karen’s Killer Fixin’s: Creamy Crockpot Chicken Stew

May 12, 2017 Karen Docter 7 Comments

Even though the children are all gone, I still make family-sized batches of this flavorful chicken stew. It’s so easy to just throw it into the crockpot and have a full meal available at dinnertime. My husband likes it so much, he takes leftovers to work for his lunches. It’s even better after steeping in its own juices overnight. 🙂

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