Glazed Carrots and Cranberries

I am not one for cooked carrots, fresh ~~ yes but not cooked.  I finally found a recipe that I can use for cooked carrots and they are so good and taste so fresh.. not mushy.  This is a perfect recipe to eat with Cornish Hen with Apricot Glaze and Wild Rice Dressing.  It gives your plate that pop of colour.

Hot Chocolate Ornaments

I saw these ornaments on Pinterest and thought that they would be a great way to give homemade hot chocolate mix to friends and family or even to drop off over at the neighbors...  I think it would be great to find a hot chocolate ornament hanging on my door or you can add it to the outside of your gift.

Let's Do Brunch with Foodie Friends Friday #foodiefriendsfriday

Last week on Foodie Friends Friday we did Thankgivin' Fixings ~ I hope that you got some wonderful ideas that will help you make your Thanksgiving great.
This week we are going to do Brunch.
I personally think this go right along with Thanksgiving Fixings as when you have company you need to make brunch too... So hope you stop by and get some great ideas and drop off one or two yourself.  I love brunch and can't wait to see what you will bring.

Crazy Ingredient Challenge ~ Gingerbread Spice and Onions


It is that time of the month... Crazy Ingredient Challenge.  If you haven't heard about this challenge we are given two ingredients to work with from Jutta of Hungry Little Girl and then on the 20th of the month we then show the world what recipe we made with these two ingredients.  Some of the past challenges were Broccoli and Pumpkin and Avocado and Caramel.  This is the fifth month and I have had so much fun with this challenge.  It makes me think outside of the box and cook or bake with ingredients I may have never thought of putting together.  If you would like to join our group there is a button at the bottom of this post that will take you to the page with the instructions and how to join.  Come and have fun with us... Bring on your creativity.

Sheet Music Ornaments Part Deux

eLast week I made some Sheet Music Ornaments that were shapes.  I took those ones over to Robyn's View to show off.   This week I made another design and I am bringing them to you.  The design that I have made this week would also make great Christmas cards too.. Instead of putting them on foam board you can use card stock.  I  think I may make some as cards as well as ornaments.

Baked Beans

I make baked beans often and then we eat them for days as it does make a big batch but they just get better.   The longer they sit, the better they taste.   These are easy to make as all you do is open cans and fry the bacon... One of these days I am going to make the beans first, instead of opening the cans.  I will let you know how that turns out.
