Thanksgiving Is On Them
October 10th, 2008 Posted 10:27 pm
I can’t believe Thanksgiving is next month. I’m really looking forward to Thanksgiving this year because we’re not supposed to be having a big gathering. I know most people look forward to having a huge gathering but I’m so relieved that we’re not doing that this year. My family has been having so many dinner parties all year long and they’re such a huge hassle. You would think that the guests would contribute a little more than they do, but that’s not the case with my family. When it comes to family gatherings and food my family is very inconsiderate.
Usually when Thanksgiving is being hosted at our house everything falls on us. We have to buy the food, cook the food and do all of the cleaning. It would be nice if everyone in the family bought a dish of food, condiments, beverages, paper plates & forks or something. Or in the least, offer to help clean up. If they did that it would be nice to have a big gathering. But my family shows up empty-handed and leaves with a sweet potato pie and enough food for two days. That is not fair!! So this year Thanksgiving is on them!

Caramel Pecan Brownies
March 18th, 2007 Posted 3:53 pm
Brownies might just be my favorite snack. Here’s a quick and easy recipe for amazing brownies. Don’t forget, brownies should be chewy, not hard. They will harden as they cool, so don’t over bake them!!
Here’s what you’ll need:
1 brownie mix (for 9×13 pan)
1 cup caramel apple dip
1 cup chopped pecans
Preparation:
Prepare brownie batter according to directions on box. Spread half the batter in greased 9×13 pan. Warm caramel dip in microwave until it is pourable (20-30 seconds). Drizzle a layer of caramel over brownie batter, staying 1 inch away from pan sides. Cover with chopped pecans, if desired. Spoon remaining brownie batter over caramel, spreading carefully to cover. Bake about 35 minutes.

I love smoothies. They’re quick and easy to make and they taste great.

I’m not a huge fan of bananas, especially mushed up, but here’s a great recipe that you may enjoy. Try it out!
Ingredients:
1 large banana
2 handfuls of ripe strawberries
5 full tablespoons of applesauce
8-10 cubes of ice
Preparation:
Add ice and the applesauce. Crush the ice until substance is smoothie-like. Add the other ingredients. Enjoy
