Huge Old Navy Sale this weekend and 25% off Coupon

10/29/2011

There are some great sales going on at Old Navy this weekend.  I went today and got some awesome deals.  All clearance was an additional 30% off and I used the printable 25% off coupon.  This coupon is good through Sunday 10/30th.  

Incredible deals! I paid $1 to $3 each for shirts for myself, my husband  and the kids.  I bought pants for $3 to $4 for the kids.  I bought packages of two pairs of athletic socks for my husband for $0.51 each.  I paid around $0.75 each for kids shorts for next summer.  I bought myself a great pair of jeans for around $12.  I was super excited to find these.  I still have some baby weight to lose, but these jeans look and feel fabulous!  

The best part was that I was almost shopping by myself.  I pushed a sleeping baby around the store in the stroller while my husband watched football at home with the big boys.

Oatmeal Caramel Apple Cookies

10/28/2011

Picture
These cookies are delicious and perfect for this time of year.  I didn't have caramel baking bits, so I substituted chopped caramels.  When hot, the cookies tend to stick to the cooling rack so I put parchment paper on my cooling rack as well as my baking sheet.  This recipe was adapted from Adventures in the Kitchen.

Oatmeal Caramel Apple Cookies

1 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
3 cups old fashioned oats
6 oz Kraft caramel baking bits (I substituted 3/4 cup chopped caramels)
1 1/2 cups honey crisp apples peeled and chopped

1.  In a bowl combine the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda.

2.  Place the butter and sugars in a stand mixer and beat 2-3 minutes.

3.  Add vanilla, then eggs and mix for 2-3 minutes more. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl with a spatula.

4.  Pour in the flour mixture, then the oats and combine just until blended.  Mix in the apples and caramel baking bits with a wooden spoon.

5.  Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

6.  Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.  Scoop dough onto the baking sheet leaving 1 1/2 inches between dough as the cookies will spread.

Bake for 12-15 minutes.  Let the cookies cool for 1 minute on the cookie sheet before moving to a cooling rack.

Cuban Black Beans

Cuban Black Beans

This is one of my favorite recipes that I have been making for a long time.  I have served this for company many times and it always gets rave reviews.  It is exceptional with fresh squeezed lime juice.



Serves: 6 to 8
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 3 hours 15 minutes (includes 2 ½ hours baking time)  This recipe is adapted slightly from America’s Test Kitchen Family Cookbook

Serve these beans with plain white rice, sour cream, hot sauce, lime wedges and chopped tomatoes.  

Ingredients:

2 ounces bacon (2 slices), chopped fine
2 onions, chopped medium
1 red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and chopped medium
1 teaspoon cumin
Salt
6 garlic cloves minced
2 teaspoons minced fresh oregano or ¾ teaspoon dried
6 cups water
1 pound dried black beans (2 cups), picked over and rinsed
2 bay leaves
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
½ pound chorizo sausage, quartered lengthwise and sliced ½ inch thick (you can also remove the casing and crumble it or use smoked sausage)
¼ cup minced fresh cilantro, optional (I omit the cilantro b/c we don't like it)
Pepper

  1. Adjust an oven rack to the lower-middle position and heat the oven to 300 degrees. Cook the bacon in a large Dutch oven over medium heat until crisp, about 8 minutes. Stir in the onions, bell pepper, cumin, and 1 teaspoon salt. Continue to cook until the vegetables are softened, about 8 minutes.
  2. Stir in the garlic and oregano and cook until fragrant, about 15 seconds. Stir in the water, scraping up the browned bits. Stir in the beans, bay leaves, red pepper flakes, and baking soda. Bring to a boil. Cover and transfer to the oven. Bake stirring every 30 minutes, until the beans are tender, 2 to 2 ½ hours.
  3. Remove the lid and stir in the sausage. Continue to bake, uncovered, until the liquid has thickened, about 30 minutes.
  4. Discard the bay leaves. Let the beans sit for 10 minutes. Stir in the cilantro and season with salt and pepper to taste.

To Make Ahead

After cooking, the beans can be cooled to room temperature and refrigerated, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap, for up to 4 days. Reheat over medium-low heat before serving.
