Heavenly, best describes these delicious pecan pie bars. Easier to make than a pecan pie and you can get at least 24 servings which makes this dessert an ideal recipe for a crowd.

I still had a package of mini graham cracker crusts (3-inches) and debated over a chocolate (non-bake) or a pumpkin pie (cooked). Since pumpkin pie was missing from my Thanksgiving dinner I decided to go with pumpkin. I like pumpkin pie no matter what the size. Mini desserts are convenient and perfect for groups or … Continue reading
Creamed corn is a favorite side dish in many homes especially around the holidays. Often, canned corn or frozen corn is used but David used fresh (plan ahead and freeze some during the summer months). Of course we all know fresh is the best but I didn’t get around to freezing any corn this year … Continue reading
Using leftover turkey from Thanksgiving dinner has many possibilities besides making sandwiches. I looked at a few recipes for Turkey Tetrazzini and this version is “lighter” than others. Even though it was lower in fat due to the chicken broth this recipe was just delicious. It can be made to taste; any long noodle, choice … Continue reading
I love green bean casserole with the fried onions – another side dish I grew up with. Our Thanksgiving table was not complete without this. When I saw the French fried onions in the ingredient list of this recipe I knew I wanted to try it. A different twist on creamed corn or my Jiffy … Continue reading
This is my second new recipe for Thanksgiving and it would also be a nice addition for any special occasion . Some times I will just bake or grill whole sweet potatoes, make a hasselback version, or just roast them in a delicious sauce such as Roasted Maple Cinnamon Sweet Potatoes or Sweet Potatoes with … Continue reading
I’ve been wanting to make this casserole for a few years but I’ve always made my MIL’s creamed corn recipe for Thanksgiving and then maybe my favorite cornbread muffins with jalapenos and cheese. This casserole includes the bread element by using a corn bread mix with the corn mixture. It’s sweet, moist, full of corn … Continue reading
I ran across the idea of using fried jalapenos in a Green Bean Appetizer recipe. I thought this was different as I always use fried onions in any Green Bean Casserole version I have ever made. Being one who loves jalapenos I decided to give this a try with some ham prior to Thanksgiving. I … Continue reading
Thanksgiving will be very different this year as I plan for a stay-at-home dinner without family. First of all instead of a huge whole turkey I will be cooking a turkey breast (my favorite part). So, I won’t be making my fancy gravy when I roasted chicken wings and veggies to get a beautiful chicken … Continue reading
Even though it is after Thanksgiving I had to share this “new favorite” dressing. This would make a great side not only with turkey but ham – think holiday dinners! It is my fourth dressing/stuffing recipe and my second one with sausage. Besides sausage this recipe has cranberries and apples in it and I also … Continue reading
