Time-saver/16 recipes

The crisp, densely chocolaty cookies, with an unusually long baking time, were an annual favorite among the 20-plus recipes that Susan Couchman of Hartland remembers were made each year by her mother, Gloria Kuchler.

I normally eat three to four times as much as other family members at a sitting, but since we usually have guests over on Thanksgiving, I have to pretend my stomach isn't a bottomless pit and eat the average amount. Afterwards, though, I always sneak in and make myself a few (yes, plural) of these sandwiches, inspired by the thanksgiving sandwich Ross made in an episode of Friends once.

Brisket pressure cooked with sweet potatoes, parsnips and prunes. Long slow cooked flavor in a much reduced amount of time.

A delicious vegetable sauce that can be mixed into pasta. A quick, easy and tasty meal takes no time.

It was my first time making a carrot cake. I loved it, and so did my boyfriend. I frosted the cake with a mixture of butter and cream cheese, so yummy. This is a great way to eat carrots :)

Made a bunch of these cranberry chews at the weekend, and they were so good. I used half whole wheat flour, which I usually do when I bake. I also used 1/2 cup coconut oil and 1/2 cup butter, and these bars came out wonderfully delicious. I have been enjoying them for breakfast and snack. I froze most of the bars. A great recipe.

The pork chops were so tender, and the potatoes were soaked with flavour just like the recipe says. Next time I will add some carrots, parsnips or sweet potatoes.
