This is a repost of an older post with a picture. This really is the best pie..... from Grandma & back of Libby's label with my slight changes 2 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (I use my own pie crust recipe ) 3/4 cup brown sugar 3/4 cup sugar 1 tsp salt 2 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp ginger 4 eggs 3 1/2 cups (29 oz can) Libby's Solid Pumpkin 3 cups (two 12 fluid ounce cans) Carnation Evaporated Milk Mix sugars, salt, cinnamon, and ginger. Add milk, eggs, and pumpkin. Whisk all together until mixed well. Using ladel or measuring cup, fill unbaked pie shells. Bake at 425 for 15 minutes. My oven cooks hot, so sometimes I reduce heat to 400. After 15 minutes, reduce temperature to 350 and bake for 20-30 minutes more. Note: This is a great recipe. I tweaked it a bit. The original label calls for 1 1/2 cups sugar, but using half brown sugar makes a better pie. It holds together better and has better flavor. It also originally called for 1/2 tsp cloves, but I don't like that flavor, so I om...

This recipe is adapted between two separate recipes I found. One recipe is from another great recipe blog, Taste the Joy , who got it from a Pillsbury cookbook. The other recipe is what I adapted our mini deep dish pizzas from. It is found here . These breakfast pizzas are fun, easy, and your kids can help. It's also a great little breakfast to make up quick and take around to the neighbors or to make when you have company. They'll love you for it! You will need: 1 tube Flaky Layers biscuits (flaky layers biscuits just work best) Scrambled eggs, cooked and flavored to you liking Sausage (ground or links), chopped ham, or bacon Shredded cheese Muffin Pan Cook eggs. We like scrambled. It's fun to add different things to it (peppers, onions, etc). But my kids are more plain-old-scrambled-eggs-with-salt-&-pepper kind of kids, so we kept it simple. Even though we put shredded cheese on top, I still like to add a bit of cheese to my eggs 'cuz I like me some CHEESE!!! Co...

I was going to post this on Monday, but I couldn't wait. They're too much fun! These turned out absolutely adorable. We made them for a cub scout activity along with the Candy Corn Turkey Treats . No two reindeer or turkeys turned out the same. Each had their own little personality. I think the reindeer would be fun to take to neighbors (with kids) for Christmas treats or just make for fun as a family night activity. Nutter Butter cookies (head) small pretzels (antlers) red m&m's (nose) mini chocolate chips (eyes) Chocolate frosting Carefully eat the bottom part of the pretzel. Or if you'd rather use the whole pretzel, go ahead and leave it whole. If you're really careful, you can use the little round piece as a mouth under the red nose! Spread just enough frosting on top of Nutter Butter to hold the pretzel antlers in place. Use a small amount of frosting to place the chocolate chip eyes and the m&m nose in place. These were super simple to make. Even my 6...

I'll be the first to admit this isn't the cutest picture. I just couldn't get a cute one. But these little turkeys are great fun! We made these for a cub scout activity and the boys really enjoyed it. We made them along with Nutter Butter Reindeer . I'll be posting it soon. Ritz crackers (body) Hershey kisses (head & neck) Chocolate frosting Candy Corn (feathers, gobbler, & beak) Make your frosting (or buy it). Spread a layer of chocolate over Ritz cracker. Press 5 candy corns into the top, making sure the fat part is at the top (like a feather). I prefer the darker candy corns (with the brown and orange), but the store I went to didn't have them. I think it would be fun to actually alternate the two kinds of candy corn, too. Press one Hershey kiss into the bottom part of the turkey for the body and then, with a tiny bit of frosting on the bottom, stick one more candy corn on top of the Hershey kiss to make the gobbler and beak. Feast on a sweet treat!!!

from Melanie S. I went to a community function and these rolls were there. I'm a huge roll fan. And although they are my nemisis (I've never conquered making good rolls or bread), I wanted the recipe. Thankfully this recipe does not require a mixer. Right up my alley. They were very simple and the taste is great. I also loved the fact that they could be frozen for another day. 2 pkgs yeast (or 2 Tbsp SAF yeast) 1/3 cup warm water Let yeast dissolve in water. 2 cups warm milk 1 cup oil 1 cup sugar 6 eggs 2 tsp salt 9 cups flour (you may not need all of it so add it slowly) Add everything except flour to yeast mixture. Mixing by hand, add flour to form a soft, sticky dough. Take out of bowl. Spray bowl with non-stick spray and put dough back in. Let rise until double in size. Once risen, punch dough down and cut in half. Cut each half into 3 sections. (So, eventually you'll have 6 sections total.) On a lightly floured surface, roll into each a 9 inch circle, brush with melte...

MMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!! This was Olive Garden worthy!!! (in my opinion!!) I sort of mixed things up on a Lasagna Roll Up recipe... I had the Idea from the Chicken Lasagna ... but it really is nothing like it! Try it and you will see!! I found the recipe for the Alfredo sauce here on foodnetwork.com and the way to cook the chicken also... from there it just became what it is. The Chicken : 2 large *thaw* chicken breasts sliced (fajita style) 2 *fresh* cloves garlic, minced 1 T Olive Oil 1 1/2 C. FRESH Spinach leaves Heat oil in pan with garlic until the aroma builds... Do not burn or over brown . Cook until chicken is fully cooked then add the Spinach and stir until the leaves are wilted into it. The Sauce : 4T Butter 1 clove fresh garlic, minced 2T flour 2 C Cream 1/2 C. milk 1C Fresh grated parmesan In a medium sauce pan heat butter and garlic and add flour once butter is melted and aroma of garlic is building. Add the Cream and milk and stir then add the parmesan and...

This recipe has been roaming around several recipe blogs. There's one version here at Mmm.. Cafe. She got it from Rachel Ray . I thought these sound like fun. My kids loved them and getting to make them with their own desired toppings. A fun activity for family night or for a Saturday dinner at home. 1 tube Pillsbury Grand Flaky Layers biscuits 1 jar Ragu pizza sauce Desired pizza toppings, we like canadian bacon, pepperoni, sausage, etc Shredded mozzarella Cut biscuits in half to make 2 circles. (Mmm.. Cafe suggested trying to get 3 circles out of each biscuit, but I had a hard time getting 3, so I just did 2.) Grease a muffin pan and carefully push up the sides. Bake at 350 for 8 minutes. Per Mmm... Cafe's suggestion, I also put the little cups on a baking sheet to finish cooking. I undercooked mine by about 3 minutes so mine aren't as golden brown as they should be. Make sure you cook them long enough or they'll be a little bit dough-y after the sauce has cooked an...

Adapted from the twiced baked potatoes recipe . This is a great recipe to take to a potluck or if you want the same great taste as twiced baked potatoes, but don't have the time to scoop out the potato from all the potato shells. 4-5 large potatoes, cooked and mashed 1/2 cup sour cream 1/3 cup milk 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese 1/4 cup bacon, cooked and crumbled 1/2 tsp dried minced onions 1 1/2 tsp salt 1/8 tsp pepper Cook potatoes like you would for mashed potatoes. Pour all the water off of potatoes and pour potatoes into a large bowl. Add sour cream, milk, minced onions, salt, and pepper. Mix until fluffy with beaters but being careful not to overmix. By hand, stir in cheese and bacon -just before serving.
