For an easy, hearty meal that will warm you up, crack open a can of Hormel Chili with Beans. This chili comes loaded with beef and beans and goes great with add-ons like cheese, sour cream or bread
My family gatherings always seem to have an appetizer of a Hormel Chili Dish. It is so good and too easy to make! Everyone can’t just have 1 scoop of it. They keep going back for more!
Two weeks ago I visited my aunt with my sister. We have been traveling out of state weekly to help sort and pack boxes for her new move. My sister and I are on a mission to continuously help out! My Aunt was giving items to family and friends that she didn’t want or need.
I was in the garage packing boxes. My aunt came out and said, “I have something for you and I think you are going to like it!” I had no idea what this could be and was getting excited!! 🙂
I received a Pizzelle Maker!!! 🙂
Wowzers! How cool is this?!?! Very Cool!!! 🙂
My Aunt says, “I don’t have the instruction booklet that goes with it.” I said it was not a problem. I will just go on google/internet and look for it. 🙂
Later that evening, when I got home I got onto google to start my search. I couldn’t find the exact instruction booklet for the international toastmaster pizzelle maker. The ones that I read had indicator lights and mine did not.
So, now what? How am I going to use the pizzelle maker?
Well, this is going to be a learning experience.
Learn as you go, right?
I went back online to google and searched for an easy pizzelle recipe.
There are many selections to choose from!
Here is my pizzelle making adventure that I am sharing with all of you today!
Use a basting brush and canola oil to lightly coat the round cookie mold plates.
Use a potholder to open/close the lid -slowly and bake for 30-45 seconds.
The pizzelles look like mini-waffles!
Use a spatula to place pizzelles on a cooling rack .
When Pizzelles are cooled stack them.
I arranged all the vanilla pizzelles on a plate.
I used a sifter to get powdered sugar over the vanilla pizzelles.
These vanilla pizzelles are very tasty! They are very light and you can’t eat just one, I tried! They taste like an Italian cookie! 🙂
I had a lot of fun making these.
Makes 2 Dozens! 🙂
Also, here is another variation my mother made with these Tasty Vanilla Pizzelles and you can too! Ice Cream Pizzelle Cookie!
Place 1 Pizzelle on a plate
Place a few scoops of Ice Cream or frozen yogurt on the pizzelle.
Place another pizzelle on top.
Add whip cream to it.
Drizzle some chocolate syrup over it!
It is Yummy! 🙂
Please share these recipes with your friends and family! I have seen Coconut, Chocolate, Lemon, and Peach liquor flavors for the pizzelles! Have your ever made pizzelles before? I would love to hear your replies!
Tasty Vanilla Pizzelles
Ingredients
3 Large Eggs
3/4 Cup of Sugar
1 stick of Margarine (or butter) melted and cooled.
1 3/4 Cup of Flour/Sifted
2 Teaspoons of Baking Powder
I Tablespoon of Vanilla Extract
1 small cup with canola oil (or oil of your choice)
1 basting brush
Instructions
Beat Eggs and sugar in a bowl (about 2-3 minutes)
Add slowly melted margarine (or butter) and vanilla.
Fold in Flour and Baking Powder
Use the basting brush and dip it into the canola oil to lightly coat each mold. (You will continue to baste each mold a few more times when you notice the dough not coming easily off the cookie mold plate).
Place and bake 1 Tablespoon of batter per mold for about 30-45 seconds. Place the batter behind the center of the mold. (it may take a few tries to figure this out)
Use a potholder to open and close the lid slowly so you don’t get burned from the steam.
Remove pizzelles with a wooden spoon or spatula to the cooling rack.
Optional: Sift powdered sugar on cooled pizzelles!

I was looking through some magazines and was trying to find a cupcake recipe for the holidays. I wanted a recipe that would be easy, fun to do and not so time-consuming! I came across this recipe for Reindeer Cupcakes, last year!! It is really adorable, but I did notice there was a lot of Chocolate frosting covering the cupcakes!!! A lot of chocolate products all around it too! Would all that Chocolate be too much? Would the Chocolate be too sweet to eat? I had so many questions that I could not answer – so I just had to make these Chocolate Cupcakes! 🙂
One of these cupcakes and some cookies would be great to leave out for Santa, too! 🙂
I found out there was a lot of chocolate in the cupcakes but my family really enjoyed eating them. It is a special treat just in time for the Christmas Holidays! 🙂 They are really YUMMY!!!!
Did you enjoy the Reindeer Cupcake Recipe? Did you like all the Chocolate that was on this cupcake – or was it too much? I would love to hear your replies! Happy Holiday! 🙂
