Childhood Favorite

So today on this cold and rainy day the kids are sleeping and I am making one of my childhood favorites Peanut Brittle. I remember around this time of year growing up I could go to my Grandmother's house and get this yummy treat. Last year I pulled out the old recipe and tried my hand at it and did pretty well at making it :). Like my cupcakes, this is a new request from people that I work with as well as my family. Hope it turns out yummy today!

December 2022--Week 4 Meals

Image
  Day 1: Christmas Day!!!  We had the a huge family meal at our house on Christmas Day!  Baked ham, baked beans, mac and cheese...all the fixings!!!  I hope you and your family had a great Christmas!  I know we did!! Cookies for Santa! Leaving their glitter dust so Santa can find the house! Opening presents Christmas morning! Day 2: Lasagna Soup with Breadsticks  It was still really cold in NC the day after Christmas, so what's better than a soup on a cold day?  I tried my hand at the lasagna soup recipe and my family gave this a 4 out of 5!  One thing we noted, we would probably add a little more broth, as the noodles sucked up the juice and it was less of a soup.  This recipe also calls for hot sausage...if you aren't a hot sausage person, this may be a little too spicy.  We are probably going to use mild next time we make it!  Lasagna is one of my favorite Italian meals, so this was a good spin on it! https://barefeetinthekitchen.com/lasagna-soup/ Day 3: Crockpot Swiss Steak

Hello again!  Are you ready for Week 2 of meals? Night 1: A family favorite!  Steak, Baked Potatoes, Baked Beans and Crescent Rolls! There is no recipe for this!  My husband loves ribeye steaks, the more fat the better he says LOL.  I make the baked beans the way my mama made them.  A can of Bush's Baked Beans with brown sugar, molasses, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce, pop in the oven (uncovered) for about 30 minutes at 350*.  They are SOOO good!   Night 2: Brooklyn and I had our Little League Cheer Christmas Party, so we had lots of food from the cheer moms!  Scott, Kaitlin and William hit up Bojangles.  Kaitlin had a game and William had basketball practice!  Divide and conquer night for sure! Night 3: Homemade Pizza rolls with Salad I wasn't home for this meal because I had a Board Meeting at work, so Scott made this one.  If I had of prepared better, this is one that you can make ahead, freeze and take out what you want to cook, but I didn't have time.  Something tha

December 2022--Week 1 Meals

  Week one of meals started December 4th!  I didn't take pictures of the meals, I'll do that in January, but I will post the links to the recipes for everyone! Night 1: Slow Cook Poor Man's Stew!  This was delicious!  One thing I'm really bad for, is taking out the ingredients that I don't like (onion, green peppers, etc.) but this challenge, I told myself I would make the dishes true to form!  This made a lot of food, I was able to give some to my parents.  My parents essentially live in front of us, my mom is always asking us "what's for dinner" (I'm telling you, my husband is an amazing cook!).  So anytime we have something left over, we make sure we give them some.  December in North Carolina has been really cold, so a stew on a cold Sunday was perfect!  Anything I can throw in the crockpot and forget, is my kind of meal!  This was a keeper in my family!   https://100krecipes.com/slow-cooker-poor-mans-stew/  Night 2: Crock Pot Chicken Pot Pie w
