Are you all set for Thanksgiving? We are traveling about 80 miles to my family's in Ogden, Utah. I love this time of year. I love the family get-togethers and the coziness of the season. It's the time of year for lots and lots of parties. Church parties, work parties, family parties to name a few. These Sweet and Sour Glazed Party Bites are perfect for any party as an appetizer. They also would be a delicious dinner served over hot rice. Â They come from Gooseberry Patch's Hometown … [Read more...]

Totally Tasty Tuesdays #206
Happy Almost Thanksgiving! I hope you all enjoy your meal and remember all you have to be thankful for. As of right now, my husband will be gone to WY for Thanksgiving, which makes me so sad. My kids and I will be at my family's this year for Thanksgiving, which helps a little, but I still hope he gets to be with us. So I could be bitter and mopey, but at least he has a job. I could say, Dang BP and their stupid lack of family values for not shutting down the oil field during the holidays. … [Read more...]
Sesame Chicken
Sesame Chicken is a dish that can be made all year long. The sesame oil gives it such an incredible flavor! Â Are you ready for Thanksgiving? I am. I was assigned the mashed potatoes and a pie. I chose to bring a Chocolate Cream Pie since it's my husband's favorite. What are you making? Or are you cooking it all? I need to make a mini Thanksgiving dinner at my house afterwards just for the leftovers. You never get any when you go to someone else's house. I love a turkey sandwich made with … [Read more...]

French Bread Pizza
French Bread Pizza is the lazy person's way of making pizza. It's so easy and tastes amazing with the french bread. I don't like taking photos of food for my blog when other grown-ups are around. They usually don't get it. Even my husband. He's all, "How many pictures do you need to take?" I mean I was only on my 7th picture or something. He doesn't get that you gotta have lots to choose from in case some don't turn out. Other grown-ups just don't get it at all. "Why is she taking … [Read more...]

I had to contact the company and let them know how much I loved their syrup and they agreed to do a giveaway for their Flapjack and Waffle mixes. I was given the Buttermilk and Honey mix and the … [Read more...]
