So this year my Brothers and Sister are each bringing some Dishes to Dinner.  My older Brother is bringing a Turkey and the Maque Choux.  I am baking a Ham.  My Sister will no doubt show up with the Green Beans and Rolls.  I’m not sure about my younger Brother yet.

I am tackling all of the Desserts this year. I love to bake and my Neice is coming over to help out a few days before Christmas.

My Dessert Menu will include the following:

Chocolate Chip Christmas Cookies
No bake Fudge Oatmeal Cookies
Coke Fudge Cake
Pecan Pralines

I’ll also include some Fruit Cocktail Drink.  My Mom was famous for it.  We usually have this for breakfast on Christmas.

Dinner also includes…

Yams with Marshmallows
Brocolli, Cheese and Rice Casserole

Happy Holidays!!

Happy December!!

I love the month of December mainly because of Christmas but I enjoy the cold weather too.  Of Course here in Louisiana, we are lucky if it’s in the 50’s for Christmas.  Although, the other night we actually got some Snow!  It was the first time since December 1989.  It was also the first time it ever snowed this early.  When I was little it used to snow every other year(Must be Global Warming).

I want to introduce everyone to a new Blog that I have started.  It’s Recipes for Baking up Christmas Goodies!!  You can find many Favorites as well as some new Treats to make this Holiday Season.

It’s only just turned July and the temperature is steady rising but you can cool down with one of these yummy Icy cool Snack ideas.

Root beer Floats — Yum! As a kid we made these often during the summer. All you do is add a couple of scoops of Vanilla Ice Cream to a tall glass then fill it up with root beer. Add a straw or a long dessert spoon and you are good to go!

Homemade Ice Cream Sandwich — It is so easy to make your own ice cream sandwiches. Just take two large soft cookies (chocolate, chocolate chip etc…) and add a big scoop of your favorite flavored ice cream on one cookie and top it off with another! Oh So good!

Flavored Ice — Here’s a cool treat for the kids. It’s so easy even they can make it. All you need is to make a Pitcher of Flavored drink mix like, cherry, lemonade or tropical punch. Poor into Ice Cube trays and freeze. These are great added to flavored drinks without watering it down with regular ice. You can also serve them before they are completely frozen as a cold slushy eaten with a spoon.

Ice Cream Shake — Add two scoops of Ice Cream (any flavor) 1/4 cup milk or half and half and a 1/2 to 1 cup of ice in a blender and blend until smooth. Serve in a tall glass with a straw. Note: Try putting some strawberries or bananas in the blender with the Ice Cream!

Snow Cones — One of the greatest summertime treats ever! You can buy the flavorings for snow cones at your local Super Market. They even sell snow cone makers in most super stores. They are inexpensive and so much fun to use especially for a Pool Party or even a Child’s Party.
