Most weird - that would be last year's Thanksgiving when we had two deep fried squirrels on the table with the turkey and traditional fare... We had deep fried our turkey that year and my husband and friend had gone squirrel hunting for the first time right before Thanksgiving. So, of course...

Just wanted to come back and say that I made your recipe jusnikki and my family loved it!! I picked up some shrimp to add in when I make it this week. My daughter loves shrimp and I think it would be great in your recipe :)

Ok - I'll respond - 1. yes, I regularly use a pan to cook (cast-iron) 2. yes, I get hit with hot oil (fat) when cooking. 3. I haven't really had issues with moving food from the pan to other container. I usually use a spatula to lift it out rather than pour from the pan. 4. these issues don't...

I'm excited about our dinner today!! I ordered some *darling* bread bowls from a local bread company - they look like pumpkins! Orange with little green stems on top. _SO_ cute! I'm making baked potato soup to go in them. Yum!

Ohhhh yum :) There are few things that smell as good as ribs in the smoker :) We're Green Egg people over here... Thanks for the pics! Its been a couple of months since we've done ribs so I think we're due :)

We picked up a pizza on the way home from soccer. Aren't we awesome?? :)

I second this!! I use the Ball Blue Book and actually pickled my first batch of serranos last year. They were fantastic, oh my. I'm planting more this year... A pint jar is a great size to use in our house since we only use a couple of peppers at a time. But yes, your jars needs to be...

I like garbanzo beans - I'll have to make this for my family. Thank you for sharing :)

Ooo - we love tacos at our house! My favorite way - get your hands on some shredded roast (I bottle beef so I can just use a pint of that for my recipes). Soften some chopped onion in oil, add the beef, maybe some canned green chiles (I'll also add black beans if I'm wanting to stretch the...

Wow! Good to know that trick :)

That sounds very good - I'm going to add it to my list of easily-assembled-dinners :) I' always have those ingredients on hand and it just might save me from resorting to take-out :) Thanks for sharing!

Are they old? Because that has been my experience too - old beans are hard beans.

Wow - you guys all just listed off a bunch of food I've never heard of! :) If people are sharing, can I request something? I'd like make-ahead and freezeable Christmas goodies... I have 4 kids ages 6 and under so my life is BUSY to say the least and I feel that if I got my Christmas baking...

I haven't ever heard of creamed onions before! Fascinating... :)
