I wonder if everyone has a family fruit salad recipe that it just would not be the holidays without. Our family does and it is called cranberry fluff. I used to hate it when I was a kid but now it just would not be Thanksgiving if I didn’t have a spoonful or more. It…
Holidays
Dr. Pepper Turkey
We are big fans of turkey in our house and we will eat every bite. I smoked the turkey in these pictures but you can roast in a conventional oven and I will tell you how. You will need: 1 fresh or frozen turkey – ours was 14 pounds. 2 apples – quartered 2 large…
Nana’s Southern Chicken and Dressing
Nana’s Southern Chicken and Dressing “First you boil a chicken”. That’s exactly what you do – of course you could buy a roasted chicken and use canned chicken stock but it will not taste the same. We have strict family rules about our holiday staple and (don’t laugh) here are just a few: 1. While we…
Toasted Ravioli #thanksgivingrecipe
This is a great recipe for Thanksgiving appetizers and you know you will need those with hungry people in the house! I saw several recipes on Pinterest for them but they all used homemade ravioli but—“Ain’t nobody got time for thaaat”! **Full disclosure: Sweet Brown (the lady who says that in all the videos) is…
Carnitas with Avocado Corn Salsa!
Happy Veteran’s Day to my U. S. friends – if you get the chance, please tell a Veteran how much you appreciate the sacrifices they and their families make for us and for those of you reading who are Veterans – thank you from the bottom of my heart! My three uncles: Uncle Earl Wayne,…
Cranberry, Clove and Cinnamon Ham Glaze
I know it seems as if I have fallen off the face of the earth, but not true – just busy with Halloween and a few hiccups at work that have been smoothed out now – and life is back to normal, whatever THAT is. Just a small picture of the Wizard of Oz extravaganza…
Tricks for Treats
I don’t know about you, but I am a regular person – no super powers here and as the holidays roll around I begin trying to find tricks for my treats. Let me see a show of hands: how many of you have waited till the last minute to fix something for a party you…
Candy Corn Cob Pinterest Fail
Remember when I posted about the Bunny Rolls that weren’t really rolls at all? This is another one of those posts. My cousin Debbie posted a picture on my personal FB page of this corn cob made from candy corn and a banana……………or so it said on the picture. I thought it was easy enough…
Tex-Mex and the Red River Rivalry
Well – the game is over and we got our pants beat off by the Texas Longhorns. They deserved to win because they outplayed us (OU). The best part of the day was what I served: Tex-Mex with a version of Pam’s Chili Cheese Dip from Om Nomalicious and Pa-Blam. Let’s not speak of the…
Milky Way Bundlettes
Hello everyone! I know it’s been a while. I’ve been trying to get on a schedule since the kids moved in but so far it’s not working out very well! I am sure I will get used to all the activity soon – in the meantime, do you remember last Valentine’s Day when I tried…
