Fudge is...not my absolute favorite holiday candy. It's too rich and sugary for me. I know, weird huh? I just can't eat a chunk of fudge easily. This fudge is better. It has graham cracker bits and marshmallows in it to balance it out. Much better. Maybe. Because now I'll be eating more fudge. Printable VersionIngredients 12 oz. bag of milk chocolate chips1 can sweetened condensed milk3 graham crackers1 c. mini marshmallowsDirectionsMelt chocolate and milk together over medium low heat or … [Read more...]
Caramel Popcorn
Caramel Popcorn is a favorite treat at out house. It's soft and gooey and completely addicting! My husband's Grandma makes popcorn balls every year for Christmas for whoever stops by or for all of us to munch on. She just has a stash of them ready to go. They are wonderful. When I make them, I just leave it all in a big bowl to dig at. The best is when you get to the bottom and there's all this extra caramel hidden away. So soft and gooey...I love this recipe. It makes a great gift as … [Read more...]
Broken Glass Jello
Another recipe that when I saw it, I knew I had to make it. My kids loved these. I was skeptical on how they would taste, but they are a new favorite way to eat Jello in my house. Who wouldn't love these? So pretty and you can make them in any color combo for any occasion. Red and Blue for the 4th of July, multi colored for a birthday or any day, and whatever else you want. I chose red and green for Christmas. Have fun with these babies...Broken Glass Jello4 (3-oz.) packages assorted Jello … [Read more...]
Egg Nog Bread
This Eggnog Bread is incredibly moist and incredibly addicting. Beware if you make this-you're gonna have to hide it from yourself or make mini loaves and just keep one out and freeze the rest. Very true story. I saw this on my pal Tina's blog Mommy's Kitchen and knew I had to try it. This is one of those recipes that grabs my attention. A-because I love bread; B-because my whole family loves Egg Nog; and C- I don't like Egg Nog, but love stuff made with it such as the Egg Nog shake at … [Read more...]

Choose Your Flavor Cake
Choose Your Flavor Cake is one of the best cakes you make because you can make it into any flavor. It doesn't even need frosting! My sister-in-law brought this cake to dinner one day and I love it. It is more like a quick bread/cake. And the best part is that you can choose how you want it to taste. You just pick your cake mix and a pudding mix and there you go. You can simply dust it with powdered sugar and be done or drizzle it with a glaze that matches. Lemon glaze, chocolate glaze, … [Read more...]
Caramel Corn Puffs
Caramel Corn Puffs are a great snacking treat. Beware: they are HIGHLY addictive! Maybe you've seen these already. Maybe you haven't. But you'd know if you had. You would have remembered gaining at least 5 pounds. That's what happens when you eat these. Because you can't stop. Not even after half the bowl is gone. Just sayin. These would make great neighbor gifts or party snacks or your husband is gone to Wyoming working in the oil fields every other week … [Read more...]
Christmas Help For Busy Bloggers
If you are as busy as I am this time of year, I'm sorry. From Christmas shopping to family parties to wrapping gifts, my month of December is full. I love it though. We do make sure to do the important stuff like drinking hot cocoa and snuggling up to watch Elf, Christmas Vacation, and Christmas Story and remembering the true meaning of Christmas. However, that's why I'm giving a shout out to Shutterfly. They will be taking care of one less thing on my list: Christmas cards. I always … [Read more...]
Paula Deen’s Old Fashioned Meat Loaf
If you're craving some down home comfort food, make Paula Deen's Old Fashioned Meat Loaf. Bellies will be full and happy. "Meat Loaf, Meat Loaf, Double Double Beet Loaf. I hate Meat Loaf." That's according to Randy on A Christmas Story, not me. I double love me some meat loaf. Especially the next day as a meat loaf sandwich for lunch. I just take some bread and spread Miracle Whip on both sides, then place some warmed meat loaf on one side topped with Heinz 57. Completely happy. I came … [Read more...]
