Sunday Dinner

Hi Everyone,

Today I am going to share my Stuffing Recipe.

The only bad thing is I learned this from my mom and she didn't measure anything.

Mom was an excellent cook!!!

So I will do the best I can.



O.K. here goes:

Start out with one to one and a half loaves of bread torn into small pieces and let dry.

I put mine in the oven for about an hour

at 200 and stir every 30 min.

Take out put to the side, and sprinkle 1 cup of raisin and or dried cranberry.(my addition)

Then in a large pot place 2 sticks of butter.

Dice 1 lg. onion and 4  stalks of celery and

add to pot. The spices are, rubbed sage, ground thyme, and poultry season. along with salt and pepper. Here is where it gets a little tricky.

I am going to say 1 teaspoon sage, 2 of thyme

and 2 of poultry season, always add less, you can put more in later. let this saute until veggies are soft. Add chicken or turkey stock, about about 5 cups. Bring to boil. Turn off.

Take the bread and add salt and pepper to taste. Take all the veggies out of the stock and add to bread, then add stock a little at a time until bread is very moist. Taste, then if it needs more spices you can add them then. If it is to wet add more bread, if to dry add more stock.

Mix up 3 eggs and stir into dressing.

pour into a baking dish sprayed with Pam, cover and bake at 375, for about an hour, check every half hour  to see if middle is firm,

you can take off cover the last 15 min. to have the top crunchy,( I love that part).:)

Serves 6 to 8 people

I hope you liked the recipe for this week.

I like having dressing more that just

2 or 3 times a year.

Thank you for stopping by.

And Have a wonderful Sunday.

Ballerina Notebook

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to show you a fun

notebook project.



This was so much fun, and so easy!

I found a large Mead notebook with

the folders and paper inside, and a smaller

flip note pad to go with it.

I covered the front with a pretty lacey

piece of card stock, Then made a pocket to hold the pen. Glued down the flip pad, and added some die cuts from K and Company.

Then I cut the Ballerina pictures from the set of Paintbox-Poppets-Die-Cut-Decoupage from Crafter's Companion. This pack is so pretty,

and has sets for both boys and girls.

I added the gold around the pictures and the little bows, and it's ready for school!

I hope you enjoyed the project.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

And have a scrappy day.

Strawberry Kisses Christmas

Hi everyone,

Today I wanted to let you all know

about the wonderful line of stamps

called Strawberry-Kisses.  Back in January

these little cuties were released.

Now we have them in a Christmas version.

And they are adorable!!!

You have seen peeks of them for the

last week and a half or so, and they are just 

about ready to be released.

Here is my card:

I started out with

Ultra-Smooth-Premium-White-Card Stock

and stamped the image out with Memento

ink. Then colored it in with my

Spectrum-Noir Markers. Cut it out and

put it to the side. Next I layered pieces of Christmas card stock down with foam dots.

I found some really pretty ribbon from

Really Reasonable Ribbon and used

 Extra-Strong-Permanent-Tape-Runner 

to make it look like a package. Cut out

two spellbinder dies, put them on top of each other, then placed my stamped image on top.

I also stamped out "Waiting For Santa"

From another one of the stamp sets.

Die cut it out, inked the edges, placed the

half pearls on that, and placed that down with a foam dot! So much fun!!:)

You can find all of the "Strawberry Kisses"

over on the Crafter's Companion Website.

Don't forget to pop over to the

 Crafter's Companion Challenge Blog.

The theme this month is Dots and Stripes.

And you can enter up to 3  times.

I hope you liked the card.

And have a scrappy day.

Sunday Dinner

Hi everyone,

Today I had a sweet tooth and made

a fast dessert. You can use any

box cake mix you want. I used a Red Velvet

cake mix from Duncan Hines.

The recipe is from my moms recipe book.

It is for the "Cream Cheese Frosting".

It is soooo yummy

Here is the cake:

This recipe is so easy and it is good on all kinds of desserts. Like carrot cake and home made

cinnamon rolls, chocolate cup cakes, and

from waffles to pancakes. OK now I'm hungry!  LOL :):)

Here is the recipe:

1 stick butter soften

1 8oz cream cheese soften

3 cups powdered sugar

1/2 teaspoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 cup nuts ( optional)

( I leave them out and put them on

top of cake if needed)

This covers a regular cake.

If you want some for decorating,make 2 batches. Put frosting in fridge to harden up some, it is a very soft frosting.

After decorating the cake put in fridge.

I hope you liked the recipe.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

And have a blessed Sunday!!
