Coconut Macaroons {An Easy and Tasty Recipe using Eagle Brand Condensed Milk}

Coconut Macaroons are an elegant cookie, yet easy and almost effortless to make.  This classic macaroon is made with a few ingredients, sweetened condensed milk, coconut, and egg whites.    Whisk everything together and scoop them out on a baking sheet.   How easy is that?   They are wonderfully delicious!   The traditional macaroon has been around for eons.   I think it is my favorite, but who says you can't mess with perfection and place a chocolate kiss in the center to make Macaroon Kisses.   Or dip the bottom in chocolate and drizzle chocolate over the top, or even add a cherry in the center to make them look cute.  Hope you enjoy the recipe!   Merry Christmas !

Mexican Pot Roast

Mexican Pot Roast  is a pot roast with a spicy twist. Most grocery stores carry all the ingredients, such as pork roast, jalapenos, Rotel tomatoes, and spices. MEXICAN POT ROAST Mexican Pot Roast is a recipe that offers many possibilities for weeknight meals, including burritos, tacos, enchiladas, and more. The holidays are just a few days away, and I wanted to share a great recipe to cook in a crockpot. With some of the b-u-s-i-n-e-s-s that come with the holidays, cooking dinner is sometimes hard to get done.   Around our house, my girls love to get in the kitchen a couple of days before Thanksgiving and make up a bunch, and I mean a bunch of pie crust for our Thanksgiving pies.   We even prepare some of our side dishes and freeze them for the big day. With all of that going on, it is hard to put a meal on the table, so I like to cook in my crockpot.
