The 5 Cup Coffee Maker

#CookingWithMommy

I hope you guys are having a good morning. (I don't want to complain but I'm ever so slightly annoyed)

Who knew it was SO hard to purchase a 5 cup coffee maker!!!! I had one caught it on sale at Walmart at the beginning of the month. (Which was a God send because they are not so easy to find. I had been looking for over a year!) Some little person (she whom shall not be named...The Lil Chef) poured her already made tea (agave, honey, lemon juice, and ACV already in it) through it to heat it up the other morning (but needless to say that caused some problems.) I was able to "clean" it but as I continued to run the water through it there were small black particles in it (I ran the water through it aprox. 10 times. & with the vinegar)
I'm still within my 90 days so I take it back to Walmart...to EXCHANGE it. Of course there are NONE on the shelf. The previous night I put one in my online cart, just in case. I was given a refund and I started to leave but I had an idea; I decided to order the same coffee maker online while I was still in the store. Low and behold it says the coffee maker was ready for pick up that day (which was yesterday), I let customer service know they weren't too much help, I went to the pick up area. The young lady in the pick up dept. went above and beyond and I was very grateful...BUT no, there were none in the store despite what the computer said. I wake up this  morning to a cancellation from walmart for my coffee maker. What did I do? I ordered another online and scheduled to pick it up from another near by Walmart. The status says "Processing" just like the other, says it'll be available for pick up "today" just like the other. Now, we wait!.....
(The caveat... I'm not trying to pay a billion $ for a tiny machine, this one is/was $8.74, $9.33 w/tax. I'm happy with that price!)

Homemade Taco Sauce

This is nice and uncomplicated! You know the only thing I'd change is the salt and make it kosher, other than that this recipe is clean. I haven't made it yet but I will the next time I need taco sauce! Homemade things are better!

Homemade Seasonings

I found this on Pinterest. Several things I do miss about being allergy free. So happy they can be duplicated at home Make sure the minced onions are JUST onions. I personally would use kosher salt. Use raw sugar. Instead of sour cream use 0% greek yogurt. 

Hough Bakery - butter cookies

Hough Bakery By  Gail Greenberg   &   Diane Rolfe Hough Bakery was an integral  part of me and my family's lives, (most people in Cleveland for that matter) I was heartbroken when they closed. I have  always remembered the cookies and doughnuts from this magical bakery. Their products were like nothing I had ever had before (and it was extra  magical because I was so little/young) I have been searching for about 30 years for something similar - no luck... but, thank goodness there are a few recipes floating around the internet! Unfortunately  even with Archie's being open, my food afflictions will not allow  me to enjoy those old time favorites. Luckily, converting is what I do and that's what this site is about so I  will switch some things  around and see how it turns out! The recipe below is just ONE of my all time favorites, please enjoy! Memories of a signature blue-and-white, string-tied cake box filled with a streusel coffee cake, hot cross buns, stick
