Monthly Archives: December 2009 I am truly a glutten for punishment! For the sake of this crazy blog, I decided I should make one of my very favorite cookies today. After all, it’s a holiday…..right? If you like macaroons, then you will love these delicate melt in your mouth Corn Flake Macaroons. They will be perfect for your New […]  In Idaho, it’s COLD, SNOWY and New Years Eve today! Can you believe that tomorrow we will be ringing in a brand new 2010 year. I’ve taken down Christmas and packed it all away, and I always have that slightly bummed feeling. There is such a rush trying to make things just right, and then….all […]  Hi Everyone, I hope that you all had a fantastic Christmas. I know that I sure did! Hopefully you were all able to enjoy a few days off from work, and relax a bit. Christmas is certainly special, but I’m not sure if it’s relaxing… now that I’m thinking about it. We were able to share the joy with […]  A few times a year, I allow myself to be a real “dip!” I eat whatever I want, and pay for it later, by exercising like crazy. New Years is one of those “dip times.” This dip is fast and super simple to throw together in a crock pot or slow cooker, and serve at […]  Just in case you need to take something “sinfully sweet” to take to those New Years Eve Parties, this is just the ticket. This fudge is full-proof! I’ve never had it turn to sugar, and it’s really silky smooth. If you’re not a nut, then simply don’t add the nuts. Half and Half…..that’s what I do. […]  Has the baking bug bit you yet? This house is filled with all the wonderful smells of Christmas! Tonight I made one of my Daughters favorite treats. Glazed Coconut Bread is easy to make, and is perfect for your holiday get-to-gethers. This quick bread is really delicious, and the glaze over the crunchy top is to […]  I’ve been baking and candy making my fool head off in this house. After a while, the body reacts to a sugar overload. It’s o.k……it really only happens just once a year, and after all it’s Christmas! This is another yummy recipe for you to hurry and make this last week before the big day. […]  As promised, here is the second part of some of my favorite Christmas Recipes. I usually start my baking and candy making spree with the candy first, because it keeps well if kept in good containers that are sealed well. After I get all the candy made, I move onto the glazed breads and cookies. […]  Ok…it’s time! Time to share some of my most favorite holiday recipes with you. The only fair thing to do, would be to post the recipes now, and then I can go back and add pictures as I blend and stir and whip and dip. You might not get all my treasures, if you have to wait for […]  A little while ago, I received a package on my front porch. I was very excited to say the least, because I was looking forward to this package. It was from a Company called POM WONDERFUL. They sent me an entire case of the cutest little bottles you ever did see! I had received an email from Pom Wonderful, […]  I hope everyone enjoyed Thanksgiving, and is looking forward to a Merry Christmas! On the 28th of November, my oldest daughter Brandi welcomed a perfect little boy (Cooper) to our family. I’ve been a little busy helping with the other children since then. I did manage to take a few pictures while preparing for Thanksgiving […]  Oh….is there anything better than Rich Caramel Pecan Pie? I just don’t think so. Even those who don’t care for nuts, seem to be nuts about Pecan Pie. I tend to make this once a year, since it’s loaded with hip spreading calories. Pecan pie, is probably one of the easiest pies to make, since […]  Have you had scrumptious green beans lately? I’m not talking about beans from a can! You need to make this vegetable side dish for your next Holiday dinner. I first tried these during Thanksgiving dinner last year. My sister in Law Leslie, brought these to our dinner table. I knew I would be making them for my family this […]  Most of you have probably already made this recipe. For those of you who haven’t, you’re missing out. This is a fancy salad or a delicious dessert…..you decide. Whatever it is, it’s perfect! I don’t know anyone who doesn’t love it. Some times, I make Raspberry Danish Pudding Dessert instead of the jello. You can […]  Turkey is so easy and delicious to prepare in a slow Cooker. I usually prepare it this way for Thanksgiving Day Dinner and several other times during the year. The Turkey is never dry, and you end up with fabulous stock for the perfect gravy.
