۞ Sweet Interruptions ۞ 59

Will be praying for you too Audrey...truly wishing nothing's serious at all.

Okay, I'll scrap the idea of making cranberry sauce from scratch!
Love these exchange of experiences... saves a lot of disappointments.
One thing I used to do with carrots, is to slice or julienne them, and saute with butter and add honey. Now I have to cut back on the honey.
Call me naive.. but I've never heard of Jiffy Corn Casserole :(. Is the recipe on the Jiffy Corn mix box?
My best Thanksgiving memories was when I had roast turkey with chestnut stuffings... and company got drunk on sweet potato pie, cause I had too much bourbon in it :D

The Jiffy Corn Casserole is a BJ recipe!!! I think it's in the last room...

How did I miss that.. thanks Trisha.

Here ya go, Jaye... it's really good.... a family favorite.

JIFFY CORN CASSEROLE

1 can whole kernel yellow corn, undrained
1 can cream style yellow corn
1 (8 oz.) carton sour cream
2 eggs, beaten
1 box Jiffy corn muffin mix
1 stick butter, melted

Mix all together and pour into large, lightly oiled casserole dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 55 to 60 minutes.

Audrey... you take care, and take it easy while you're visiting your family. Let us know what the doc has to say.

I found it.. room 55!! Didn't do my p/c on 2 recipes .. BJ's and Judy's famous tuna casserole..

Thank you my dearest Sistah BJ :D
We're having home made vege soup and gonna watch Christmas Story..

Audrey I will keep my fingers crossed that its nothing serious...

Yummmm You all are makingme hungry.. Love thanksgiving but most of all left over turkey sandwiches and Home made Buckeyes... Mmmm My teeth are aching already......

Home made Buckeyes ??? huh?

Yup Peanut butter balls dipped in chocolate to look like buckeye nuts... Basically a beter sweeter version of the reeses cups ...

Oh YUUUM!!!!

Kathy explain Mike's new turkey fryer!

Donna, I have been looking for that peanut butter ball recipe. Sistah, you just gotta share it pleezeeee!

Yes, Please... mom used to make something like that... but I never tried it... please... do share, Donna.

They are easy but take some time to do.
Supply list : Parifin wax, 1 jar (1 step down from large) Peter Pan Peanut Butter or your brand , 1(abou the same as chocolate chips sizebag) small bag powdered sugar, 1 regular sized bag of semi sweet chocolate chips (mini melts fastest), wax paper, toothpicks, flat cookie sheets or pans
-- I think thats it... Have to check to be sure...lol

First Mix the peanut Butter and powdered sugar into a large bowl until it blends evenly and is able to be rolled into small balls without falling apart...

You can place these in the fridge in the bowl stacked until you are ready with the rest If they dry out to much they will fall apart..

Get your flat cookie sheets out and line each one with a piece of wax paper. At this point you can get your PBB (peanut butter balls) out and place them on the sheets evenly with a toothpick in each top center. ** This makes the step of dipping alot faster but you can wait to pull them from the refridgerator..

In a small saucepan chip in 1/6 a bar of parrifin wax on LOW heat.. If you do this on high it can catch fire trust me! As it begins to melt add in the whole bag of chocolate chips. These two items will need to be constantly stirred lightly or it will burn to the bottom of the pan and leave a burnt chocolate taste in the whole pan.

Once the two items above have melted down nicley to a sryup consistancy you will proceed with the dipping process keeping the burner on warm setting .

If done as directed above as soon as it has melted begin picking up the PBB with the toothpick and while tilting the pan dip the balls into the chocolate without skimming the bottom if possible. Keep a circle around teh top open to expose the Peanut Butter and place back on the wax paper. The chocolate will harden faster than you think and it adds weight to the PBB so watch that you dont drop them into the pan. That creates a huge mess and its hot so you always burn your fingers getting the PBB back out once it falls off the toothpick.

If you have left your PBB in the refridgerator you will need to at least get your pans ready and lined with wax paper before you begin to do any melting or your chocolate mix will burn. Once you have got your pans ready and your chocolate is melted get the PBB out and start one at a time dipping them as directed above. This takes more time especially if any fall apart in the bowl.

Once you have a pan full place them in the refridgerator or freezer to finish setting the chocolate and you are done.

This recipie makes about 200 so be ready .. I m sorry im not more specific but I do it all from my head and couldnt tell you where the recipie is.

We do sausage balls for Christmas too that are very easy... I like easy recipies and the kids are starting to remember what goes in with each one so I guess they are catching on...lol

More than anything with the Peanut Butter Balls you have to resist licking your fingers.. I get a toothache and a Migraine from the sugar every time I make them...lol

I'm putting your Peanut Butter Balls in my DG "Good Eats" Dairy. If any one needs it they can see it there too,. That's were BJ's string bean bundles are!

Marion, I need another Lemon pie recipe please. Do you have one for lemon bars?

Cindy I need your lemon pie recipe please.

Oh my but yes the buckeyes are the best!! I use dark chocolate for the dip mix--but I love dark chocolate. Be forewarned these are absolutely positively, with out a doubt addictive!!!!! We didn't call them buckeyes--very original name here: peanut butter balls!! How is that for a gourmet sound to it? LOL

I have gained 10 pounds today just reading all these recipes. Yikes, gotta stop this!!

Where is Tina from MB lately?

Anyone hear from Joey?

Audrey, take care and do let us know what the doctor says!! Follow his instructions!!! Prayers being sent for you getting a report that it is nothing serious just need to be more cautiuos.

Yes I do but will post a little later Deborah. Need to go downstairs and get my cookbood with it. Will post the copper pennies also. Jaye, DIL fixes carrots like you do--oh my good but oh my at the calories!!!!

Oh my my my.. Donna, that must be sinfully good.

No Marion, not heard from Joey....
Gal, if you're reading this, please know that we miss you...

Laura, I need your Cock A Leekie soup recipe please. I think it was in room 41 which isn't available :D

I started to copy that one but my family doesn't eat leeks. Can something else be substitted for the leeks? Now I wish I had just so other people could have it. I've used DG tags for posts before but I can never find them with everyone else's tagged post. Mindboggling.

Maybe some celery.. carrots.. a root vege, Deborah?
I try to store recipes as soon as they're posted here, in a file on my pc.
Just in case I can't access DG.
Sometimes I forget to do it.. like BJ's corn casserole and Laura's recipe.
Admitting old timer's disease here.

Remember this?
I think it's important that our new sistahs learn of this Very Important Recipe from our sistah, Audrey.

Audrey's elephant stew:

Take 2 elephants, cut into bite sized cubes.
Clean 3 bushels of carrots, cut into pieces and add to the elephant cubes.
Add 4 bushels of sliced red onions.
Add about 4 bushels of diced potatoes.
Cover with water, add salt and pepper to taste.
Cook for 3 days. At noon on the third day, add 2 rabbits. DON'T PUT MORE THAN 2 RABBITS IN!! Noone likes to find a hare in their stew

LOL Oh, I remember that one! too funny.

Audrey. Don't worry sweetie. If it was really serious he would have had you come in immediately. Eat balanced meals up until your appointment in case your sugar level is out of wack. I'm praying for you to have a good report.

Very Nice I think I will have to write it down and give it to Max when we go to the store next.. Thats sure to make him smile..

That is true Audrey, when the Dr's Office calls like this they always seem to make it sound much worse than it is.....Deborah is right, if it was really serious they would have had you come in right away.

I don't know what we are having for sure this year.....My mum is making the Turkey, stuffing and giblet gravy.....she said everyone else can decide what they are bringing!
I know I am doing the Jiffy Corn Casserole for sure!

I like veggie all casserole too. But my boys prefer brocolli casserole.

Sage is a Broccoli eater, but she is going to be with her mom and Grandpa for Thanksgiving this year.

I think we're just going to Deborah's house for Thanksgiving!!! LOL

Sheesh, girlfriend... after you put all that on the table, where are we going to sit?

Jaye, I need that Marbled Baileys Cheese cake recipe.... please

Everything sounds so good, makes me hungry! I agree, everyone to Deborahs house! What time will it be ready?

LK

I suppose I need to call mymom and find out what she wants to have... Normally we do a big dinner here at our home with mom, my sister (DH and 2 boys) and my grandma. This year grandma is going to my aunts in port orange and my sister wasnt supposed to be in town but now she is but is not comming to our house. Shes cooking for her husbands family at her house. She said we could come but really didnt want to be around that many people.. I like small and simple.. not formal.. So mom says she staying the niht here and sleeping in Tristens room .. Sounds like fun.. Just have to figure out what we are eating

Deborah, go to Southern Living recipes and search lemon bars. That is where I got my recipe and it is so good.

Yes, What time is dinner? Why should the rest of us cook with a menu like that one?

Where is Tinky, haven't seen much of her lately?

Good Lord Deborah!!! You don't want us to have Thanksgiving at our homes do you??
Come on Sistahs, we need to charter a bus and just camp at Deborah's next week! That menu will just embarras our Pilgrim Fathers!!!
Stacey made coffee this morning, and she must be swamped at work. Pretty sure she'd say more tomorrow.

Well, I'm off to bed .. had snoozed a bit on the sofa.. I'm sure one of you must have heard me snore :D

Good nite sistahs! Love y'all!

Here's the recipe BJ.
BAILEY'S MARBLED CHEESECAKE

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup cocoa

Pour half of plain mixture into prepared pan. Drizzle with half the chocolate mixture. Repeat layers. Make a marbled design by gently swirling batter with a knife.
Bake 10 minutes at 450, then 55 minutes at 250 or until cake tests done.

I was going to ask Deborah what Army she is feeding for Thanksgiving?

Good night all, sleep well!

Mmmm... that does sound good... bet that will be a hit on many a table next week.

Yep... I thought that was you ... your snoring woke me up... LOL
