Scotcheroos

You know when a recipe reminds you of a fun memory and just makes you smile... Well that's what Scotcheroos does for me. The first time I had these Kevin's cousin Heidi and husband Chris came and stayed with us at the cabin in Island Park. Most of the Kevin's family was there and we were packed in. It was chaotic and extremely loud but most of all I remember munching on these yummy rice krispy treats that Heidi made. She made a huge pan to share with everyone! Love them!

Ingredients

1 cup white karo syrup
1 cup sugar
1 cup peanut butter
5-6 cups rice krispies
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup butterscotch chips

Cook sugar and karo to dissolve. Take off heat and add peanut butter. Pour over rice krispies and press into a 9x13 inch pan. Melt chocolate and Butterscotch chips together. Pour over rice krispies. Let set up.

My Mothers Peach Pie

What can I say about My Mothers peach pie other than it is fantastic! I remember every year when peaches were in season, My mother rolling out her dough on the floured surface of the counter and making her delicious peach pie. I have made this pie a few times now but I am still trying to perfect pie dough. I know I will never be as good as my mother or Bernice Kelley so as of right now I do it the lazy way and pick up the refrigerated pie crust at the grocery store which is in no way as good as Bernice's or my mothers.

Pie Filling

4 cups Peaches
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup flour
1/2 tsp. Cinnamon



Pie Crust

2 cups sifted flour
1 tsp. salt
1/4 cup water


Filling- Mix ingredients and dot with butter. Sprinkle with sugar on top. Bake at 425 degrees for 35 to 45 minutes.

Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

I got this a couple of years back while searching for a good Oatmeal cookie recipe. I got this out of my sister Stephanie's Parkway Neighborhood cookbook. This recipe came from Darylne McPheeters. I made these one time when my friend Tami was visiting and she just had to have the recipe! My kids love them and I do too! The picture on the header is these yummy cookies.

1/2 c. butter or margarine 2 c. flour

1/2 c. shortening 1 tsp. salt

1 c. brown sugar 1 tsp. soda

1 c. sugar 3 cups quick oats

2 eggs 1/2 c. chopped nuts

1 tsp. vanilla 6 oz. chocolate chips



Throughly cream butter, shortening, and sugars. Add eggs and vanilla, beat well. Add dry sifted ingredients. Add oatmeal, then nuts and chocolate chips. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes. Enjoy!

My kids do not like nuts in their cookies so I do not add them.
