Thanksgiving is next week!

Oh my, oh my, how time doth fly!!

It's almost Thanksgiving!

What are your plans for next week?

Who's doing the cooking?

My sweet chef/hubby does pretty much 

ALL the cooking.

Thank you, dear.

One of my very favorite sites, 

Six Sisters Stuff

has a yummy recipe for sweet potatoes.

Check out all the other goodness when you visit their site.

Now, my specialty is Cookie baking and Candy making!

Toll House Cookies, & Kraft Microwave Fudge

are a must at every get together my family has!

Nestle Toll House Cookie Recipe

 I like to keep it simple & follow the recipe 

on the bag of Nestles Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips, 

or just click on the link above

 to go directly to their online recipe.

The only change that I make is that I use 

Crisco Sticks instead of butter.

 I think they taste better!

It also helps to preheat the cookie sheets. 

The first batch turns out better that way.

Ok, on to the Fantasy Fudge!

It's super-easy if you make it in the Microwave!

Microwaves vary, so make sure 

that you don't overcook it.

I stop the Microwave and give the mixture

a good stir about every 3 minutes, 

no more than 11 minutes total.

Then I use the old-fashioned

cold water test to see if it's done. 

Just drop about a teaspoonful of the mixture

in a cup of COLD water, if it makes

a soft ball, then it's done!

Then toss in the rest of the ingredients!

I can still see my Mom making "Karo" Fudge at her stove.

Back then, it was a lot hotter 

standing over the stove and stirring forever!

Thanks for stopping by! 

Here's a little Bing & Rosemary!

Remember to "Count Your Blessings"

on Thanksgiving and every day.

Have a great week!

Northwest Arkansas *Share* Cookbook

Hello All !

This newly published cookbook is now available through my blog. It's put together by the Northwest Arkansas Share Parents Support Group. The mission of SHARE is to serve those whose lives are touched by the tragic death of a baby through pregnancy loss, stillbirth, or in the first 2 years of life.

In 2006, my DD and SIL experienced such a loss. Their baby boy, Christopher, was born prematurely and could not survive such an early delivery. The help and support of the Share group was a true blessing for them. They continue to be active in the groups' endeavors to help others with their grief.

This cookbook has 77 pages of delicious recipes from members, their families and friends. Lots of helpful baking and cooking tips throughout. I am very happy to say that it was an honor to be able to design the cover! :)

If you would like a copy, they are $10 each with free shipping! Nice as a Christmas gift for that cookbook collector! Just email me. PayPal is preferred, but a check or money order is fine. Make checks payable to: NWA SHARE Parents Support Group. 100% of the proceeds from the sale of these cookbooks goes to the SHARE programs and construction and maintenance of the Angel Of Hope in NW Arkansas.
