Thanksgiving!!!

Oh, do we have so much to be thankful for! My sweet sister in law had surgery today to take a tumor off of her thyroid and praise God it was not cancer!

This week we are eating:
Monday: Warm Tortellini Soup out of the Birmingham Junior League's cookbook Tables of Content
Tuesday: Hubby is grilling some Halibut, cabbage, and quinoa
Wednesday: will be a night for me to thaw out some leftovers because I will be busy cooking for Thursday!
Thursday: Thanksgiving - We are having Ham and Brad is cooking the Turkey. I am making Savory Pull apart Rolls, pumpkin pie spectacular, green bean casserole, corn pudding, sweet potatoe casserole, peas and mushrooms (I think that is it!)
Friday: Alabama VS Auburn game!! We will be eating some finger foods, maybe Super Chalupa Dip.
Saturday: Christmas Decorating day!!!! Taco Soup and I will make a batch of Christmas Mix (Nutty Snack Mix)
Sunday: Hubby will grill something??

The kids are super excited! And so am I. It will be a joyous week. I will try to post some recipes or some links to the recipes online soon.

I have started some sewing projects, added a ruffle to some old jeans of Miss M's to make them last a little longer, made her a Christmas shirt, and made a prayer pillow for my sweet sister in law. I will try to post some pics soon.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Gone for 6 months!!

I can't believe I let 6 months go by without a single blog! It has been busy with summer, school, sports, dance, dog, etc.. My kid's social life keeps me busy. I am still sewing and cooking and menu planning just haven't taken the time to blog about it. Look at my flickr group, I have managed to get a few things loaded on there.

I am pumpkin crazy this month. I made Pumpkin Pie Spectacular out of this month's Southern Living and it was truly spectacular! We just used regular whipped cream instead of the Ginger Spice Topping. I think we have found a new Thanksgiving recipe.
I then made some Pumpkin Chocolate Chip muffins from here. Also, gobbled up my 3 little turkeys! They were super easy to make.

I just love this time of year! There is not enough time to try all the crafts and foods I want to make.

Some good recipes from the summer:
Broiled Greek Fish Fillets
Cheese Grits (cheddary and garlic tasting)
Cheese Grits (very creamy and peppery, we use this for special occasions like our yearly low country boil)

Other recent hits:
Greek Pasta with Meatballs
Chicken thighs with olives and tomato sauce
Quick Meatloaf
Beef and Barley Soup

Hopefully, be back before another 6 months pass....
