One More Recipe...

I will be trying one more new recipe for Thanksgiving, so I thought I would share it. Click here for the recipe for Mac 'N Cheese with Bacon and Cheese. I already have a big block of (yellow) cheddar cheese on hand, so I will be using that instead of white cheddar, but I'm sure it will still be yummy.

I'm looking for a good baked macaroni and cheese recipe, so if any of you have one and would like to share it with me, I would appreciate it. I will be sure and let you know if this recipe turns out to be a winner!

This is my menu for Thanksgiving:

Roasted Butter Herb Turkey
Stuffing
Grainy Mustard Mashed Potatoes
Mac 'N Cheese with Bacon and Cheese
Sweet Potatoes
Broccoli with Sour Cream
Sweet White frozen corn
Cranberry Sauce
Olives
Deviled Eggs
Vegetable Tray with dip
Pumpkin Pie
Chocolate Cream Pie
Cheese Cake

Mmm, mmm, this is going to be quite the feast! Wish you all could come and eat with us!

Thanksgiving Recipes!

Just thought I'd share the mashed potato recipe that I will be cooking with our Thanksgiving meal. I saw it on the Tyler Ultimate show, while I was sick on the couch and even with my stomach bug, I said, "Hey those look like they would really be good!" So I asked Andy to bring me a pen and piece of paper and I jotted down the ingredients. That was the only thing I accomplished, while glued to that couch for days. lol

Anyway, here is the link to the video where you can actually watch him as he cooks them.

And here is a link to the Recipe.

I can't wait to try them!!! If any of you try them, please let me know if you liked them. :)

As for the turkey, I'm still trying to decide on the recipe, but I think this one will be it Roasted Butter Herb Turkey My sister used this recipe the last couple of years and she said it is so moist and delicious! I will have one alteration though.....I will drape peppered bacon over the whole bird. I do this when I make turkey breast and oh yumm, not only does it flavor it so well, but it also makes it moist too.

Hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Cherry Cobbler ~ (my son's favorite!)

This is a recipe, that I got from my sister-in-law, years ago and it happens to be my son's favorite! Michael and Jaymie just came for a visit and you know how it is.....when your child comes home.....they always want mom to make their favorites for them. So, I made him, his Cherry Cobbler and he was very happy! Andy went to DQ and bought a couple of quarts of vanilla icecream to put on top and we were all happy! Anyway, just thought I would share the recipe, but just know that this is not a healthy recipe in the least bit, but who cares.....it is soooo good!

1/2 cup melted butter
1 cup sugar
2 cups bisquick
1 cup milk
4 cups cherries ( I use two 20 oz. cans of Wilderness Cherry filling/topping. These are sweetened.)
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup sugar (to sprinkle on top)

Combine first 4 ingredients. Pour into 13 x 9 baking dish. Spoon on cherries, sprinkle on the 1/2 c. sugar, then add water. Bake on 350 for 45 minutes.

*For blackberry cobbler or any unsweetened berry or cherries ~ use 1 whole cup of sugar sprinkled on top!

LOOKING FOR RECIPE!

Does anyone have a good recipe for Cream of Broccoli Soup? I'm looking for a recipe that doesn't have velveeta cheese in the ingredients. I like velveeta, but it's just a little too cheesy for me, so I'd rather use cheddar cheese or even use no cheese at all. If any of you bloggers out there, have a recipe you'd like to share, I would really appreciate it. :o)

Simple But Scrumptious Cheesecake

This truly is the best cheesecake I have ever had! Trust me, you will keep going back for more... and more... and more. It sort of reminds me of a lemon icebox pie, but so much better.....I mean seriously, we actually fight over the last piece. I have been making this recipe for years and not only is it simple, but you just can't mess it up! (sorry this pic was taken with my old camera)

8 oz. pkg. of Philadelphia cream cheese (must use the block of cream cheese! If you use the spread in the tub, it won't set up and you will end up with cheesecake soup) :o)

1 can of Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk

1/4 cup of lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla ( I don't measure, but I like a little more than a teaspoon)

1 graham cracker crust

Strawberries, Cherries or blueberries (I slice up fresh or frozen strawberries in a bowl and add enough sugar to make them sweet.) If you use canned cherries or blueberries, make sure they are sweetened...I like the wilderness brand.

Let cream cheese stand at room temperature until very soft. Using your mixer...cream the Philadelphia cream cheese, add Eagle Brand Milk and mix, add lemon juice and vanilla and mix until smooth with no big lumps, then poor into Graham Cracker Crust and refrigerate until set. (If you're not going to eat the whole pie right away, I recommend that you don't put the strawberries directly on the cheesecake. Just put topping on each individual piece, so it doesn't make the graham cracker crust soggy.)
