Weekly Ramblings – November 8, 2015

I usually do the weekly ramblings on Saturdays.  This week I’ve decided to do this blog post on Saturdays.

This week I’ve posted three recipes for the Countdown for Thanksgiving series.

Countdown to Thanksgiving
  1.  Creamy Mac and Cheese is a new favorite of ours.  It’s a delicious side dish or a main dish for a meatless Monday.
  2. Creamy Fruit Salad is a favorite of mine.  It’s my own version of a salad from a local meat market.
  3. Makes It’s Own Gravy Turkey Breast and Easy Gravy is the main dish my mother-in-law raved about for a week after I served it to her.

I also reposted my Aunt Janet’s Pecan Cookies this week.

My Aunt Janet's Pecan Cookies

The boys and I have started what the Imaginative One calls the proto-types of Christmas baking.  On Friday night, we made peanut butter blossoms.  The batch is almost gone because it’s one cookie we can’t stop at one.

Yesterday Wee One and I tried out a candy recipe.  It’s an easy two-ingredient recipe.  The candy is also delicious.

On my Timewarp today, I found a recipe I posted 6 years ago for pumpkin spice cream cheese.  After church today, I went and got the missing ingredient for the recipe.  I had 3 of the 4 ingredients at the house.  I will post the recipe later this week.  It’s absolutely delicious.

This morning I also made Honey Vanilla Creamer for my coffee.  It’s absolutely delicious.  It’s another recipe I’ll share in the next couple of weeks.

I haven’t forgotten my promise of a giveaway after the 31-day challenge.  The giveaway prize has been bought.  However, I will delay the challenge until after the holiday mailing season.  The giveaway will be in January.

I’ll see you tomorrow with our weekly menu!

Happy eating,
