The Neiman Marcus $250 Cookie Recipe is legend just about everywhere. Have you heard the story?

My daughter and I had just finished a salad at Neiman-Marcus Cafe in Dallas & decided to have a small dessert. Because both of us are such cookie lovers, we decided to try the “Neiman-Marcus Cookie”. It was so excellent that I asked if they would give me the recipe and the waitress said with a small frown “I’m afraid not.” Well” I said, “would you let me buy the recipe?”

With a cute smile, she said YES”. I asked how much and she responded, “Only two fifty, it’s a great deal!” I said with approval, “just add it to my tab”.. Thirty days later, I received my VISA statement from Neiman-Marcus and it was $285.00. I looked again and remembered I had only spent $9.95 for two salads and about $20.00 for a scarf. As I glanced at the bottom of the statement, it said, “Cookie Recipe – $250.00″. That’s outrageous!!!

I called Neiman’s Accounting Dept. and told them that the waitress said it was “two-fifty,” which clearly does not mean “two hundred and fifty dollars” by any POSSIBLE interpretation of the phrase. Neiman-Marcus refused to budge.. They would not refund my money, because according to them, “What the waitress told you is not our problem. You have already seen the recipe – we absolutely will not refund your money at this point.” I explained to her the criminal statutes which govern fraud in Texas. I threatened to refer them to the Better Business Bureau and the State’s Attorney General for engaging in fraud. I was basically told, “Do what you want, we dont give a damn, and we’re not refunding your money.” I waited a moment, thinking of how I could get even,or even try to get any of my money back. I just said, “Okay, you folks got my $250.00, and now I’m going to have $250.00 worth of fun.”

This story is an urban legend, but it is really a lot of fun, and the cookies just might possibly be worth $250! The trick is pulling them out BEFORE you think they are done and letting the cool for a few minutes on the cookie sheet. Then transferring them to the cooling rack or counter. Also, don’t skip the oatmeal part. I blend it up in my Vitamix or blender and it really gives them a special taste. I find that they get crumbly fast and so store them in a container quickly that is sealed! You won’t be sorry that you tried theses!

It makes a HUGE recipe, but that is O.K. you will need that many!  I do add about 1 cup of Heath bar to mine, but that is if I have it on hand!

These are as INSANE as they look! Make them for your family and be a ROCK STAR! These are so easy you are not going to believe it!

I doubled this and made it in a 9×13. The recipe below is for a 8×8.

This week I have to take a little break from chicken I had it all weekend! If you want to send over some recipes or leave them in the comments of meals and dishes that your family like I would really appreciate it. Also, if you have any suggestions as to what kinds of meals you are looking for leave a comment as well.

** Also, 3 of the recipes call for Worcestershire sauce this week so make sure you have some!

Monday – Grilled Pork Loin Chops – Get your pork loin chops at Randalls/Safeway this week, they are on sale for $1.49 a pound. I am not heating up the grill but using my Grill Pan HERE that I love! We will have a salad and probably apple sauce for the sides. Plus there are a lot of coupons that came out this weekend for the ingredients!

Tuesday - Sloppy Joes or Manwiches – I prefer to make my own Sloppy Joes!

Wednesday – Angel Chicken - I couldn’t totally skip chicken this week!  I have wanted to try this recipe forever and so I can’t wait! All you need is some brown rice and maybe a salad!

Thursday – Stuffed Bell Peppers –  If you think your kids won’t like this, just serve them the filling inside the peppers. I have not met a kid that doesn’t like hamburger and rice! Serve with mashed potatoes as a side or salad.

Friday – Pita Pizza or try Pita Pizza.

Have you made thumbprint cookies? 

These are a favorite around here, and so I was happy to see a coupon for the cookies again!  This is the easiest recipe and they are SOOOOO good!

This is the BEST deep dish pizza recipe! If you have not tried making deep dish pizza before you are missing out! The difference between deep dish and regular pizza is that deep dish has the sauce on the top and the cheese on the bottom.

For Christmas Paul bought me this deep dish pan, I love it! But you can use a pie dish if you don’t have one. I used a pie pan for a long time, but finally got the cast iron and there is a difference. I had to season the pan first, and we are breaking it in good. My 14 year old son refuses to eat pizza anywhere else but at home!

I made this Sunday and was totally taking some pictures of my awesome pizza when I went to change the baby and came back to EVERY piece eaten…. all I had was the empty pan!

The instructions are below. HOWEVER, I have made this and NOT let the dough rise for more than 20 minutes, pressed it into the pan, assembled and baked. It turns out great, without the double rise.

This is the BEST zucchini bread recipe that I have had. A few years ago I had a beautiful garden, my kids were pulling zucchini off by the basket full. I was making zucchini bread everyday and experimenting with every recipe I could. This is my own that we made into our favorite!

So you bought all that Chex cereal from HEB. Now what do you do with it?? We will have it for breakfast at our house, but there are sooooo many things you can make with it other than cold cereal! Our favorite is Ranch Chicken.

Or you can go a little sweeter!

I saw this one on Pintrest and my heart stopped beating for a second! NUTELLA Puppy Chow? OH. MY. WORD! Where have you been all my life?!

It wasn’t until I was in college that I tried freezer jam. Can you believe I had lived my entire life until then without any? Crazy. I would like to take a minute to thank my roommates, it was either Cami, or Chelsea who brought some from home and changed my bagel eating life. This was my staple meal while in school, a plain toasted bagel, with slightly melted plain cream cheese and piled with strawberry freezer jam.

When strawberries are in season you can pick some up for only $.99/lb. This is a great price to pick up extra and make a batch to stick in the freezer.

This is super quick to make, abut 40 minutes and 9 pounds of strawberries later I had this stash to throw into the freezer. Enough to last us for the next few weeks…. just kidding the  next month or so  It will last up to a year in the freezer or a month or so in the fridge.

This is the recipe for The Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe! For the past few years I have just stuck with the same two recipes for chocolate chip cookies. Either the Nestle Toll House one on the bag, or the Neiman Marcus recipe if I have to make a LOT of cookies.

I thought I would try something new. I picked this one because I thought the combo of shortening and oil was a little different, since I only use real butter for cookies. They turned out really nice I think, they don’t spread out, they stay chunky and have a shortbread consistency. The kids and Paul gave two thumbs up!!

7up Biscuit Recipe to die for! STOP. Whatever you are planning on making for dinner, if you have these 4 ingredients you HAVE to make these biscuits tonight!! I made these the other night and I am still a ROCK STAR with my family! They were AWESOME!! If you have a Popeye’s in your area, these taste just like the biscuits from that drive-through!

I could seriously eat an entire pan with butter and jelly. PLUS, you probably do NOT even to buy a single thing to make these, I bet most of you already have it all in your pantry!

Is anyone tired of Ham yet? This is my Grandmothers recipe for Lemon BBQ Meatloaf. It is a really special recipe to me, just because she made it all the time for me when I was living with her as a teenager.  My Grandma Davis clipped it out of the local paper during World War II and has been making it since. She still has the original clipping that she reads the recipe off of, it is stained and yellowed, but it is precious to me.

This recipe was intended for you to make it as small individual meatloaves.  If I was making this for adults I would make them about the size of a large baking potato. But I double the recipe and make them about the size of a regular orange for my kids. Sometimes my husband and bigger kids have 2 each!

When I make these meatballs I cover a cookie sheet that has sides with foil to make clean up easier. I also set a wired cooling rack over the cookie sheet and put the meatballs on it so that the grease drips onto that and they don’t sit in it. It also makes clean up really easy!

When you try these the first time, DO NOT omit anything from the sauce recipe. That is what makes them so good! My husband made these one time and left out the spices because he doesn’t like them. Then he complained that it didn’t taste as good! He was surprised to know that I always put the spices in that he thought he didn’t like!

Sadly we didn’t have ham for Easter. Although I am tempted to buy one today because I LOVE leftover ham dishes! This week I am giving you 5 different ways to use leftover ham. Now I would not expect that anyone would use this as their meals all week…. your family might revolt! But you can use a few of them!

 MONDAY – Ham and Cheese Rolls from The Country Cook  - These are a lot like the Ham and Cheese sliders that I make. But I love the raspberry preserves that she adds, it makes them like a Monte Cristo sandwich. Just slice your leftover ham thin and these will be AWESOME!

 TUESDAY – Split Pea Soup from SkinnyTaste - This is a really good Weight Watchers recipe {only 3 points} and calls for a ham hock. If you do not have one, just cut up and add a bunch of diced ham! This can be done on the stove or do it in a crock pot!

 WEDNESDAY – Ham Salad from Simply Recipes – This recipe is a good one because it also calls for chopped hard boiled eggs… you have some of those right?! If you have not had ham salad, do not be afraid! It is a lot like chicken, or egg salad. My kids eat it on crackers or break without complaint!

 THURSDAY – Slow Cooker Ham and Potato Scallop – The combo of ham and potatoes on this one is a winner! It is also easy with the cheddar soup, I am not a fan of condensed cheddar soup so I “make” my own. I will add it to the recipe below.

 FRIDAY – Baked Omelets from Whats Cooking? – Just as easy as it sounds. A lot like breakfast casserole, but without the bread. This is a high protein easy dinner to  make!

This is the easiest fruit salad ever. It is fast to make and surprisingly good. If you are a cherry pie filling fan, this is one you will want to make.

This is the recipe that we had for Easter dinner that I posted about earlier today.

Often, I end up getting the generic brand canned fruit because many times it is cheaper than with a coupon. I even keep the cans in the fridge so they are cold and toss it together right before we eat!

** I am sure you can add other canned fruit or fresh fruit, this is just how I make it each time! Thanks to Sarah K. for making this for us years ago!

Funeral Potatoes. Probably my favorite side dish! These got their name from the fact that they are a really good side dish to bring to a function. I am guessing a lot of funerals!

Regardless, I really don’t care what they are called they are a FAVORITE here! Make them the night before to save time, even reheat them the next day and they are awesome!

** I do NOT cook my potatoes… I BUY a bag of hash brown potatoes FROZEN and add that instead! I use a 1lb bag!

Now, what are you going to do with those cookies?? Make my husbands VERY favorite “side dish”. This is a dish that we made in college all the time, this recipe comes from my roommate Cami!

I have had this recipe with so many different combinations of fruit. You can use strawberry/rhubarb, blackberry, blueberry, raspberries, etc. Since it is strawberry season, this is a very inexpensive recipe to make and very good!

My kids were able to help me with every part of this project. From cutting up the strawberries, to zesting the lemon, and measuring out all the ingredients. These are also sturdy bars for traveling.

This is a recipe I want to share with you, because of how inexpensive and easy it is to do. Plus, you do NOT have to buy a pre sliced ham, and I love how at Steamy Kitchen she gives you step by step instructions on how to make the ham.

Basically, there are 5 ingredients:

• Ham
• Cola
• Grape Juice
• Brown Sugar and
• Pineapple Juice

The cola and grape juice acts as a glaze in the first step and then the brown sugar and pineapple juice act as the final glaze. I made this same recipe 2 years ago and it was AMAZING! Head over to Steamy Kitchen to get the details!
