Weekly Ramblings – November 8, 2015

11/08/2015 traci Leave a comment

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.

Creamy Mac and Cheese is a new favorite of ours. It’s a delicious side dish or even as a main dish for a meatless Monday.
Creamy Fruit Salad is a favorite of mine. It’s my own version of a salad from a local meat market.
Makes It’s Own Gravy Turkey Breast and Easy Gravy is a 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.

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

This week we are getting ready for the Christmas baking season. Last night, we made peanut butter blossoms. A treat made usually only during Christmas.

Weekly Ramblings – Halloween 2015 – Write 31 Wrap Up

10/31/2015 traci 3 Comments

Today is the last day of the Write 31 challenge. I can’t believe it’s over. During the challenge, I have cooked a lot of meals and desserts in the crockpot. It’s been a fun experience. In fact, as I am typing there is chicken and hamburger meat cooking for later meals.

I’m going to continue cooking dinners in the crock pot. During the month, it’s been a much easier way to get dinner on the table which is much less stress on my part. One thing I would love to do is more freezer kits and share them with you.

My 31 day post is going to be attached to a page later this week so you can still refer to it later. I’m also going to provide printable recipes. I’ve already put some of the recipes on my Google drive. Once I get done with that, I’ll provide you with a link to all of the recipes. 🙂

Here is a list of some of my new and some old blogs that feature crock pot meals. I’ve shared a few of them on my menu plan Monday blog posts.

Here are 23 of the recipes I’ve shared over the course of the last 31 days.
