Time To Start Planning All The Year End Dinner

Have you started planning where you are going for the holidays and who is cooking those all important family dinners?  Whose house are you going to for the big New Year's Eve party?

I haven't had a New Year's party or been to one in years.  I used to try to have them at my house but getting people to come and stay over has been harder and harder every year.  Most no one wants to drive home afterwards because of the people drinking and driving and most people don't want to just stay over for the night.  

I love to cook and plan and have fun.  I should open a party planning business or be a wedding planner.  I really enjoy putting things together and seeing it all come out right.  

As you can see, the Thanksgiving book is gone now and the new Holiday Cookbook and Dinner Planner is up on the blog for the next few weeks.  You will be amazed at the things that are in this book.

• Kosher Salt Encrusted Prime Rib, 
• Red Garlic Mashed Potatoes, 
• Fudge, 
• Divinity,
• Hoppin' Johns (Black Eyed Peas),
• Collard Greens,
• Roasted Brussels sprouts with Baon (best I've ever had)
• Sugar Cookies, 
• and so much more 

All the recipes you will need to cover you for those all important family gatherings.  The book is a direct download to your computer so you will have it in minutes.  Following payment, you will be directed to a download link to download the best dinner plans to carry you through the end of the year.

Get your copy today for $9.97.  I hope you will enjoy these recipes as much as I have.

Last Minute Table Decorations

Are you looking for something to do for table decorations that would be easy and not cost an arm and a leg?  How about doing something that is festive and looks good on your table?

You should have glass vases of all shapes and sizes in your house or ones that you could borrow from someone.  Vases or hurricane lamps are easy to change to match any decor and any holiday.  Sometimes you can pick them up at discount stores or dollar stores for a fairly reasonable prices and you can re-use them for many occasions.

If you have two that are the same shape in different sizes, you can put one inside the other and decorate in the larger one with out fear of the candle catching things on fire.  You could use items such as unpopped popcorn, fresh cranberries, mixed nuts, small pumpkins or gourds, flowers or any other items that you want to use for the mood you are wanting to set at your table or buffet.

Several candles set up in various size vases or candle holders would be a fun and easy way to decorate.  You could also use a pumpkin or two hollowed out with flowers added. 

Are you all ready for Thanksgiving?  Do you have all the recipes and food that you need to make your dinner a hit?  We still have the book available for immediate download if you are looking for something delicious and easy.  Following your payment, you will be given a download link where you can download the book and have it in a matter of minutes.

I have had several of my friends buy the book and try the recipes for early Thanksgiving dinners and they are raving about them.  The turkey is amazing and the ham is wonderful.  The side dishes and desserts are great too.

How About a Slice of Pie?

This time next week, people will be out on Black Friday and will have all but forgotten about the day before when they had family and friends gathered around and were thankful for all the little things in their lives.

A week from today, stores and people will be crazy shopping for deals, spending money and trying to get all they can on sale.  I have never been a Black Friday shopper -- I don't like the crowds and people grabbing and the rudeness.  I prefer to shop at midnight for groceries and have a little peace of mind in doing so.

Hopefully, you will have some leftovers for dinner and hopefully you have some pie leftovers too.  I like to bake pies but am really not a dessert fan (although, I like to bake for others to enjoy).  I prefer the turkey and stuffing and potatoes and all the sides.  When I make turkey, if my family and friends know I'm baking, they show up to eat.  It is good -- juicy and the breast is not dry at all!  Delicious ! !

Today let's make pie -- this one is easy and really tasty -- and you can lighten it up if you want to by using a lighter cream or whipping your own without sugar.

Layered Lemon Pie

1 pkg (8 oz) cream cheese, softened

1/2 c sugar

1 (15 3/4 oz) can lemon pie filling, divided

1 carton (8 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed

1 (9 inch) graham cracker crust

In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth.  Whip in half of the pie filling and fold in the whipped topping.

Spread the remaining pie filling over the cream cheese layer.  Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving.

I hope you are enjoying these recipes and will try them out soon.  I am also hoping that you are enjoying them enough to order my book.  Only $9.97 and it is a direct download to your computer immediately following payment.

Thank you !
