Your Recipe Stories Archives | Page 3 of 3

Welcome to one of our newest features here at Heavenly Homemakers! I love hearing the stories of how you are using the recipes you find on our site or in our books. Do you have a story to share? Take a picture or two, then email me with the details of how you use your favorite Heavenly Homemaker recipe. :)

Lori sent this in last week – a wonderful inspiration to all of us as we begin busy school years:

With school starting next week, I’ve been spending some time in the kitchen. I like breakfast to be as quick and simple as possible. My husband is usually in charge of feeding the kids while I’m getting ready for work. When I asked my kids (Kaylee-11 and Blake-8) what I should have available for breakfasts when school starts, they both said Breakfast Cookies. Silly question, I know. These cookies have been a staple at our house since I discovered the recipe a few years ago. Kaylee has actually been asking for them all summer. She will be thrilled to come home from camp to find the freezer stocked with her beloved cookies.

Blake is the happy taste tester!

Elias, our 12 year old, walked through my office as I was prepping this post. He was excited to see:

All the food in the picture. Elias likes looking at food as much as I do. :)
My cookbook in the picture. “Hey look, it’s your book!”
Blake’s glasses are almost identical to his. Love of breakfast cookies and matching glasses? I think they’d get along just fine. :)

Can’t wait to hear from more of you. Share your stories!

My email inbox gets flooded every week with your stories: stories of how you’ve been using Heavenly Homemaker recipes and what you love about them. These recipe stories are so much fun for me to read. It occurred to me recently: Why keep these to myself? You should all be in on the fun!

Introducing our new Share Your Story feature:

Whether your story is as simple as, “I made your brownies to share at work and everyone loved them!” or “Your chewy granola bars are perfect for my husband to snack on at work.” or “My mom’s group loves your breakfast cookies!” – we want to hear about it. Maybe you used several Heavenly Homemakers recipes for a special meal for your family. Maybe your child’s birthday party treats were from a recipe you found here. Maybe there’s a recipe here you haven’t tried yet that you’re hoping to try soon.

Whatever your story, we want to hear.

So pick out your favorite Heavenly Homemakers recipes and get busy! Snap a picture or two. You’ve all seen these recipes from my kitchen. Now we want to see them in YOURS! Email your pictures and stories to me! As often as possible, I’ll share them here with everyone.

To get us started, I wanted to share a recent story from April. Here’s what she wrote:

I am officially a chocolate granola junkie! I made a batch with honey instead of sucanat and homemade chocolate chips and I cannot stop eating it!!! Thank you SO much…I think. :) Made another batch this weekend..my helper is Skylar, who’s 7. She loves ‘Mama’s homemade cereal’…but without the homemade chocolate chips! Oh, well…more chocolate for Mama.
