Holiday Recipe

[Janet]

With Thanksgiving fast approaching, I wanted to share the best dressing recipe I've ever had. My husband loved it so much he likes it as a meal anytime: One tip is don't lift the lid once you start the crock pot, (not sure why).

CROCK POT DRESSING
1 cup butter or oleo
1 cup chopped onions
2- 8 oz. cans mushrooms (drained)
1 20 oz. loaf of bread (cubed)
2 eggs well beaten
1 cup chopped celery (optional)
1 can cream of mushroom soup
2 1/2 cups chicken broth
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. sage
1/2 cup parsley
5 to 8 cups chicken (cubed)

Thin mushroom soup with broth. Heat mushroom soup, broth and butter until butter is melted. Mix all ingredients together and let stand for ten minutes. Put in crock pot and cook on high for 45 minutes, then on low for 3 to 4 hours.

* Instead of 1 cup of butter I use 1/2 cup of butter and 1/2 cup more broth.

There were always a hit at Thanksgiving. It's my husband's grandmother's recipe. It's REALLY rich and I recommend big glass of milk with it!;)

Buttermilk Pie
Yields 2 pies

1/2 cup flour
3 3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp salt
1 cup buttermilk
6 eggs
1 cup butter
1 tsp vanilla

Melt butter and mix with eggs, flour, sugar and salt.

Add buttermilk and vanilla.

Pour into 2 pie crust. Place pie pans on cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 45 minutes. (When top of pie has some fine cracks, it's done).

Remove from oven and let set.

Some people add walnuts to this recipe and some add sunflower kernals. I do not do either.

Broccoli Salad

1 head broccoli cut to small pieces
1 small bunch green onions. Remove head and slice thinly
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 lb bacon fried crispy. Drain grease and place on paper towel to soak up excess.

Dressing:

1 cup Miracle Whip
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp vinegar

Mix all ingredients of dressing and toss into salad. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

[Mandy]

These do sound good :p thanks girls;)

[Janet]

Oh wow, look what I've started...this is great!!! I'll probably try the Buttermilk Pie and the Broccoli Salad way before Thanksgiving. I love Broccoli salad and anything I can drink a big glass of milk with has got to be heaven!!! :D :D

[Janet]

Talk about a big glass of milk Kimberly try this one! My son and I eat this for breakfast, lunch, supper, evening snack and forget normal food, that's why I only make this at Christmas.

Eclair Cake

1 box of honey graham crackers
1 large box vanilla instant pudding mix
1 large container of Cool Whip
1 can milk choc icing

Mix pudding by directions on box
Add container of Cool Whip

In a large oblong cake pan, put down a layer of graham crackers, then the Cool Whip/pudding mixture, and keep layering until the mixture is used up. Then top with graham crackers and then put the icing on top.

This is very rich also, but this stuff is better than sex anytime!!!! :eek:

YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm hungry now! And ready for the holidays, too! :p

[Marilyn]

Wow, this site it the best. We get to talk about anything!!!! Baking is my thing!!! But can't bake often due to the calories. I usually bake and then give it away!!

Here's my pecan pie recipe. Get's rave reviews from everyone who trys it:

Pecan Pie

1 to 2 cups of the highest quality pecan halves that you can find
1 scant cup brown sugar
1 tblsp. butter, melted
1 cup light Karo syrup
1/3 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
3 whole eggs

Place pecans in unbaked pie shell. Pour mix of remaining ingredients over pecans, making sure all pecans are coated with the filling. Bake in 300° oven for 1 hour or until pie filling does not adhere to knife inserted into it.

I sent this recipe to some customers in New Jersey with a bag of pecans. They were so excited to get the pecans that they ate them raw and never made the pie. Hope everyone who wants to make this can find decent pecans where you are.

[Janet]

My husband love Pecan Pie, so I'll definitely try that. I've tried other and well I'm not real good at it, so I'll let ya know....:)

[rivermom]

Oh my gosh YUMMY! I love to cook so enjoyed reading over the recipes given. Thanks for sharing. ;) I can't wait to try them.

[Janet]

Well if anyone else has a really good recipe, why not post it? Especially with the holidays coming up. Let me tell you have 32 years of marriage I can use a different one. Do any of you get the Taste of Home magazine? It has wonderful recipes and beautiful pictures.

My son and I enter the cookie contest every year at the county fair and he usually beats me everytime. He has gotten alot of first place ribbons. I've had one and a few seconds, but he loves to bake and cook. Don't have any idea where he got that from...LOL

I really enjoy reading "Taste Of Home" magazine. I will try to think of a different and good recipe to share. Right now my mind is a blank. :confused:

This sounds soooooo good!

[Janet]

Carolyn, you wouldn't believe how good this is and so easy to make. My son loves Christmas just because it's the only time I make it. We eat it till it's gone. Just have plenty of milk. OOOHHHH it's to die for!!

[Sherry Lynn]

Janet - My girlfriend makes something that sounds like this except hers has peaunut butter in it! I'm not a big sweet-eater, but it is EXCELLENT!!!

My mom always subscribes to Taste of Home for me, and it's a great magazine. You can't read it without getting hungry!


Kimberley... I make the broccoli salad and it ROCKS, too! I don't add nuts, and I use mayo instead of Miracle Whip.

[RLC12345678]

Geez, guys!!!!!! I'm so hungry because I didn't have any food at my house when I went home for lunch. Reading these recipes are making me REALLY hungry! I might be making an afternoon trip to SUBWAY! Yum!:p

Oh find that recipe. I love stuff with peanut butter in it!!!:thumbup:

[Marilyn]

There's supposed to be a Taste of Home Cookbook out. I'd love to have one, but my hubby says that I can't buy any more cookbooks until I've cooked something out of each one that I have.:(

[Janet]

I don't even like to cook, but sometimes I get the urge to try something new. The magazine is where we got all our cookie recipes for the county fair. All except the Corn Flake Cookie. When my husband was in grade school they had them at school and his grandmother got the recipe from them and well, we have been making them ever since. They are so good.:)

[Sherry Lynn]

Oh find that recipe. I love stuff with peanut butter in it!!!:thumbup:

I just sent my girlfriend an email so I'll post it as soon as I get it. I forget the details, I just remember how yummy it was!:p

[Sherry Lynn]

Here it is, Janet....

1 box Regaular Graham Crackers
3 boxes My T-Fine Chocolate Pudding
Whole Milk (according to the pudding instructions on side of pudding box)
1 jar of Skippy Creamy Peanut Butter

Get an 8 x 11 pyrex or any baking dish.
Make Chocolate Pudding on stove being sure to stir constantly so it won't stick. When done remove from heat and place on the counter.
Place one layer of graham crackers on the bottom of dish being sure to spread a good amount of peanut butter on each cracker. (you will probably have to break a few of the graham cracker sheets into odd pieces to make sure the bottom is covered)
With large ladle or spoon put a layer of chocolate pudding on top of peanut butter/grahams ...cover each one.
Place another layer of grahams with peanut butter on top of pudding.
Another layer of chocolate pudding on top
If you have enough grahams and pudding to do another layer go right ahead. Just make sure your last layer is pudding.

Cover lightly with saran and place in the fridge for about 2 to 4 hours. Serve with Fresh Whipped Cream on each piece you serve
