The Best Tasting Flavorful Vanilla Simple Syrup for Coffee
Tired of paying $9 for Vanilla Syrup for your espresso's and drip coffee? I was too! I came by this super simple recipe to make my own for pennies on the dollar.
In a large sauce pan combine:
2 cups water
2 cups white sugar
a dash of salt
Wait till these ingredients come to a rapid boil. Stir to completely disolve the sugar.
After you remove from the burner, add 1 - 2 tsp of vanilla syrup....couldn't be any easier!
I pour into the old syrup bottle, or into pint mason jars and store at room temperature!
At most this costs me $1.00 per bottle, and I know I'm not eating corn syrup or fake flavorings.

Christmas Crack
from Jamie/firedancer201 on the BHB boards:
CHRISTMAS CRACK
40 Saltines
1 c Butter; don't use margarine
1 c LIGHT brown sugar; not dark
12 oz Chocolate chips
1 c Nuts; chopped, YOUR choice
Line up the saltines on a jelly roll pan that has been LINED with FOIL that
makes a bigger rim then the pan. There should be 5 rows of 8.
Melt butter and add LIGHT brown sugar. Stir often and bring to a full rolling
boil for EXACTLY 3 minutes.
Pour over the saltines and bake in a 400 oven for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with
chocolate chips and wait until they are almost melted; spread over all the
saltines. Drop the nuts over top as evenly as possible. Refrigerate for two
hours and then break up into pieces. Can be stored in a pretty tin with tissue
paper or clear Christmas bags with ribbon tied around.

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
These are awesome and my 10 year old just made them all by himself. Yes, they're that easy. We bake when we're bored, can ya tell?
3/4 cup butter flavored shortening
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup milk
1 tsp. vanilla
3 cups quick oats
1 cup flour
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. soda
1/2 bag chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 F. Cream together shortening and sugars. Add egg, milk, and vanilla and mix well. Sift together flour, soda, and salt and stir into wet ingredients. Stir in oats and 1/2 bag chocolate chips. Drop by rounded teaspoon full onto greased baking sheet; bake approximately 10 minutes. When in doubt, undercook just a little. This makes about 2 1/2 dozen, but double the recipe if you want because they freeze very well.

We all need our chocolate fix, and oatmeal is supposed to be great for those of us nursing babies, so I figured I might as well post this recipe so that there is an easy place to find it, right? It's very simple and yummy, just follow the directions precisely and they'll come out perfect every time.
