I Love The Holidays! (One At A Time)

JayCee — Sun, 18 Nov 2012 21:25:31 +0000

Satire (not really) from JayCee: I really enjoy the holidays, especially when family members bring their kids over to cry and scream and kick people. My favorite is when they pour themselves a beverage (all the Coke I can drink?

Favorite Easy Christmas or Any Time Desserts

Debbie Ray — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 18:36:06 +0000

For gatherings where everybody brings a dish, I'm asked to run by the bakery and pick up the bread. But I've decided, I want to start bringing a dessert, too. One that I've made myself. I looked through a couple of cookbooks, but you can't really tell how easy or hard something's going to be to make from reading the recipe- things that sound simple always seem to leave one critical step out- something you should just know but I didn't. So, a few days ago, I asked my facebook friends for ideas for some simple and delicious desserts and I got loads of suggestions to try out! I can't promise these are all original creations, but they sure are easy!

For many of us, Thanksgiving means gathering with family and enjoying time-tested recipes — Dad’s famous mashed potatoes, your brother’s homemade cranberry sauce, or Grandma’s pumpkin pie.
