We at Foodie Friends Friday pick on of our favorite recipes that are linked up to each party.  This isn't an easy job for us as there are so many great recipes.  These recipes are then featured over at the Daily Dish on Monday.  To be featured you must have a link back to either Foodie Friends Friday or the host blog that you link up with.
My Host Favorite
I am a huge cheese fan so picking only one favorite was very hard for me... All recipes made with cheese are a hit with me.  This week I picked Cheese and Onion Swirl Rolls from Cynthia over at Feeding Big.  I loved her combination of cheese and onions.  Another big plus was that she made the rolls from scratch.  I was hoping to make these before today but just ran out of time.

Cobweb Cookies (aka Lace Cookies) #fillthecookiejar




This month I waiting until the very last day to make my cookies... I am not sure what my problem is ~ either I need more hours in the day or I just need to get more organized.  I am thinking that it is the organization part that I need to work on.  But I did get my cookies made and they turned out even though they are quite large~ but cobwebs are large aren't they.

Pumpkin Spice Syrup

I love this time of year... love the change of colours and the cool crisp air.  Best of all is that it is pumpkin season.  I know that you could have pumpkins all year round as all you have to do is buy a can of pumpkin puree... but pumpkin is the best when fall is in the air.
I also love pumpkin flavour in my tea and coffee.. Nothing beats a Pumpkin Spice Latte or even a Pumpkin Spice Chai Latte..and I have been even drinking more since I made this Pumpkin  Spice Syrup.Lately I have been coming home from work,  making myself a coffee and adding some pumpkin spice syrup , no wonder I don't sleep.

Bird Bath and Feeder

I know that you are probably thinking.... Why is she posting about a bird feeder at this time of year.  The birds are now thinking of flying south and the snow will be falling.  Why oh Why would I write about making a bird feeder.  Well, it is because I just got time to make it.  I did buy the material as soon as Cynthia from Feeding Big brought over this idea to my facebook page. Hers is a butterfly feeder but I decided to make mine into a birdbath and feeder.  Head over to her page for the directions to make her feeder.  I only took pictures of what I used and the end product.

Garlic Cheese Biscuits


One of my favorite places to eat is Red Lobster and their biscuits are to die for.  I just go there for them.  When I was living in Saskatoon, my great aunt and I would go out for lunch and dinner at least twice a month.  On of our favorite restaurants was Red Lobster.  Since moving to the States I am not even sure I have been to a Red Lobster but I can still have my biscuits or at least something very similar.  I received this recipe years ago from a friend.

Slow Cooker Apple and Onion Pork Chops

Apple season is upon us.  I haven't gone picking any this year and we will see if I get any done or not.  My brother has apple trees on his land and as long as the animals don't get them, I should be able to get a few picked.

The other day I had some Granny Smith Apples in the fridge and also pork chops so decided I wanted to make something with them.  This is what I came up with.
