I am a Criminal~~ I Share Recipes~~.Updated

For several years I have found many many awesome recipes on the Internet.

When I saved them, I did not think to "record the source" of where they came from.

I have enjoyed most of them, my family has benefited from them.

Some of them, eh...no they were not to our tastes.

I decided to share some of them on here and on our Facebook page.

I cannot believe the commotion this has caused.

I have been accused of being a "criminal" for posting these recipes because of "copyright infringement laws"

Who knew?

Some of the comments, emails and messages have been nasty and hurtful.

All of this over the sharing of recipes. 

Like the "sources" that I found these recipes from,

I have worked hard to build an audience to share them with.

Apparently even though these recipes are posted on the Internet,

some of them have been around for eons (before there even was an Internet),

they are not meant to be shared unless you credit the source?

So I have to ask myself...

Do these "sources" make money from someone sharing their recipes?

Am I taking food from their table by sharing them?

Am I physically hurting them in some way?

What is the actual harm in sharing them?

Personally, if someone took the time to share a recipe of mine I would be flattered.

 I am just flabbergasted over the controversy this has caused.

For the moment, I have removed all the "recipes" from this blog and our Facebook page. 

I do have all these recipes saved (as they have been for years)

And at some point they will be shared with you.

I meant no harm in sharing them.

If you are one of the persons that was effected by this,

I really do apologize.

I had no clue that sharing good eats was such a crime! 

UPDATE:
When I first wrote this post I had just read several emails from "irate" people (to be unamed)
and was very upset. I did not appreciate the name calling and accusations that I received.
One person, took the time to explain to me what the whole deal about posting recipes is about.
I appreciate the time she took from her busy day to give me a good explanation as to the how and why's.
Without that one person taking a minute to explain I would never know.
Credit should be given where credit is due.
Thank You.

Cayenne Pepper ---Health Benefits

Worth Looking Into 

Cayenne Pepper is a miracle herb. It has been shown to stop heart attacks in 30 seconds flat, can hinder internal bleeding and induces cancer cell death without harming other cells. There have been reports where people who have had heart attacks and were lucky enough to have someone shove a teaspoon of cayenne pepper mixed with water down their throat the heart attack halted almost immediately. You can also improve your digestive problems, cramping, and bloating or blood circulation with Cayenne Pepper.
Cayenne pepper has the ability to move the blood which is it an essential element in cleansing the body. If your blood circulation is working at its peak your body is able to process waste material better. Cayenne pepper speeds up the removal of toxins from your body when you are participating in colon cleansing but when used as a regular part of your diet can have enormous health and ongoing cleansing benefits. 
Cayenne pepper is very tasty and can be added to just about any vegetarian or savoury meal. 
Cayenne Pepper can also be added to your first aid kit for its antiseptic and antibiotic qualities for cuts and burns.

Pizza Balls

PIZZA BALLS

3 cans Pillsbury Buttermilk Biscuits (10 per can)
56 pepperoni slices
block of Colby cheese
1 beaten egg
Parmesan cheese
Italian seasoning
Garlic powder
1 jar pizza sauce…(for dipping)


Cut the block of cheese into 28 squares. Flatten a biscuit out and stack pepperoni and cheese on top. Gather up the edges of the biscuit. Line up the rolls in a greased 9x13 in. pan. Brush with beaten egg. Sprinkle with Parmesan, Italian seasoning and garlic powder. Bake at 425°F for 18-20 minutes.

The above recipe and photo are as I found them on a Facebook post. Below you will find MY experience with making them!



I prepared everything as instructed and found it to be not quite as easy as it seems. I placed the pre made biscuits on wax paper to roll them out. I found that if you do too many at one time, by the time you start to fill them they had already begun to shrink!  Make sure to spray your wax paper with baking spray or they will stick! I personally think that maybe the crescent rolls would work better or maybe even the larger size biscuits.  I did make a few with different ingredients just for the sake of trying them out.  I used pineapple, (chunks) mushrooms, Canadian bacon, onions, and mozzarella cheese.  I tried to add a spoonful of sauce but found that the biscuit will not hold together because its too slippery. The same with crushed pineapple. Too hard to close when its "wet".

 My first attempt at filling them did not go so well as I believe that I tried to "overfill" them. 

When filling use small amounts! I ended up cutting the Canadian bacon into fourths. Only use one piece of pineapple per ball.

Ready to go in the oven. I used the Parmesan and garlic but opted to forgo the Italian seasoning.

The finished product.

If you look closely you will see that some of the cheese spilled out even though I was very careful in making sure they were completely closed.

The Taste Test!

I served them with three choices of dipping sauce.

Pizza Sauce, Ranch, and Melted Garlic Butter.

Each person that tried them had a different favorite of the dipping sauce. And of course they each had a favorite with all the different ingredients. Myself I preferred the garlic butter best and the pepperoni, mushroom and colby cheese.

I can see this would be a favorite with children with any of the sauce choices.

I felt them to be a bit "bready" but they were still pretty good. I think with a few more tweaks here and there this may be a great recipe.  I will try a few ideas that I have and once I do I will update this post.  

If you attempt them and have other ideas or experiences with them, comment below and let us know how yours turned out! 

Easiest Peanut Butter Fudge

The Easiest Peanut Butter Fudge

First I would like to say Thanks to Giggle Palooza for posting this on their Facebook page!

For years I have been the "fudge" maker in our family. Every year around Christmas I make approximately 20lbs (sometimes more) of different types of fudge. I am always on the lookout for something new. Peanut Butter has always been a big hit in my family! 

I tried this recipe last night. It took me all of about 10 mins to prepare. 

I put mine in a disposable pie pan to cool.

I left it overnight in the fridge.

This morning I took it out let is set for a few minutes then cut into small pieces and here it is!

It is delicious! 

I imagine that you could try this quick recipe using chocolate chips in place of the peanut butter for all you chocolate lovers out there. Give it a try!

This is the perfect recipe for a small batch of yummy Peanut Butter Fudge!

Green Coffee Bean Extract Review and Giveaway!

Green Coffee Bean Extract

Our friends over at A Well Being recently sent me a supply of their newest supplement 

Green Coffee Bean Extract to review. And the early results are in! 

Like a large part of the population today I have weight issues. I have tried many diets throughout my life..Yes I have followed the fads and many times had a little success but more often than not failed. Coming to the realization that it took me years to put on all this added baggage I also realize it wont come off instantly as much as I would like it too. 

I have been taking the Green Coffee Bean Extract for three weeks now. I take two pills twice a day (morning and evening) I have not made any changes to my normal routine with one exception. The exception being that I have cut down the amount of Diet Coke that I normally drink and instead drink more water.  I haven't given up my Diet Coke completely but have drastically reduced it.  

Drumrollllllll please....in just three weeks I have lost 5lbs!
I find that I have more energy and don't feel as hungry anymore either. 
If you are looking to lose a few pounds or more I recommend that you give 
Green Coffee Bean Extract
a try!
