Beautiful Day to Give Thanks

This Thanksgiving we had the pleasure of having Michael's family come to town from Alabama (his mother-in-law's sister, Sarah lives in Valdosta). Well, Sarah has a gorgeous home out by Valdosta's amusement park, Wild Adventures, on a lovely plot of land that includes a sparkling pond and plenty of fishes to keep the kids occupied. We had a wonderful time chatting with family and just kicking back and enjoying all the wonderful FOOD! Sarah is a wonderful cook and her dad even made a great pecan pie...terrific folks! It was great to hang out and give thanks to the Lord for all he gives with these wonderful folks! We all had a terrific time! :)

Talking sports and more sports no doubt...is there anything else in testosterone land? Oh, yes... meat.

Cranberry Sauce Dessert

Here is another crowd pleasing recipe that is a holiday staple around here. Beware though, you may find yourself needing to call Jenny Craig in the new year if it makes you greedy (me). Christine, this one's for you! :)

Christmas Yams

When this time of the year rolls around I think of many good recipes, but one of my all time fave's is my mom's recipe for yams. Mmmmmmm! If anyone needs a great recipe for a holiday gathering this is IT! Thanks Mom for the great recipe, and Tony, this one is for you! :)

Mmmmmm, Sugar Cookies

Best sugar cookie recipe in the world. This one comes from a long time family friend. Love ya, Bev! :)

Emma loves her reindeer cookie cutter...here she is in action.

Ooops, she decapitated Rudolph! Guess he won't be guiding that sleigh this year! Poor Rudolph.

Yummy! Thanks for the best sugar cookie recipe in the world, Mom! :)

Time for Corn Casserole

The leaves are turning golden and falling to the ground, the evenings are getting crisp, and it's time for Corn Casserole! My mom is a fantastic cook and put this delicious recipe together; I scrapbooked the recipe into a scrapbook and here it is. It is a real crowd pleaser if you are cooking for a group over the holidays. Enjoy!
