Pie Making Day
Hi Everyone,
I hope all have had a great day today. I have been busy in my kitchen today making some of the goodies for tomorrow. I love baking and cooking and creating new recipes. I want to share some pictures of some of the goodies I have made with you.
When I was done with my pies, I was wondering what to make for dinner. You know breakfast for dinner is always good. So I thought what about Pumpkin Walnut Pancakes. Below is my recipe for them and they were a hit here in my house. My husband loved them. Our son stopped by before going home and he tried one and he loved them too.
Pumpkin Walnut Pancakes
2 c. Bisquick
1 cup milk
3 large eggs
1/3 c. dark brown sugar
2 t. cinnamon
1 c. pumpkin puree
1/4 c. finely chopped walnuts
Mix all ingredients together. Spoon on to a hot griddle. Brown on both sides. Serve hot with butter and warm maple syrup. Yummy :):):)!
Enjoy and please let me know what you think. Check out the pictures of my goodies.
Hugs,
Janet

Christmas Tea cup Pin Cushions
Hi Everyone,
How are all of you doing? I s everyone getting ready for Thanksgiving? I have my stuff bought for our Thanksgiving feast, the decorations are out and I am ready to go. Tomorrow is my pie making day. I plan on making two pumpkin pies and a Kentucky Pecan Pie. Thursday I will be up very early to get the 22 pound turkey in the oven and prepare to do everything that needs done for that day. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite meals to cook and prepare for.

It has been awhile
Hi Everyone,
I know it has been awhile since I last posted on this blog. Sorry! My Jimmy's wedding was October 20th and it was beautiful. My daughter was able to come in to share this joyous occasion with him, his bride and all of us. It was a real treat to see the two kids together having a good time, kidding around with each other ans just being together as a family.
While Jimmy and Brittany were on their honeymoon we spent some time with Tiffany and also got to celebrate her birthday with her. She wanted to go shopping and we also took her to Olive Garden for her birthday dinner. It was so nice.
When she came home she brought me a miniature tea set from Solvang, CA. I have collected mini tea pots for the past few years and three of them are from Solvang, I call them my Solvang collection. Well I have added this little set to the collection from Solvang. I will post a picture of it when I am done with this post. It of course has a red rose pattern. I love roses.
Well I better close for now. Please enjoy the picture. Also I would like all of you to become one of my followers her on this blog. It would be a real encouragement to me. Also invite your friends. I love looking on all of your blogs and all the pretty things you share with me. Thanks bunches.
Hugs,
Janet

Baking Cookies
Hi Everyone,
Today is a busy day with baking more cookies for the wedding next week. the recipe I am using is easy. I call them Chocolate Cranberry Cookies. They are really good and my family loves them. This is a great recipe for those Mom's that work but want to have something sweet for the family. Below is the recipe.
Chocolate Cranberry Cookies
2 tubes of refrigerator sugar cookie dough, soften
2 6oz. bags of dried cranberries
1/4 cup of flour
1 - 1 1/2 cups of milk chocolate chips
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray cookie sheets. Mix all of the ingredients. Use teaspoon full of dough, roll into balls, flatten. Bake until light golden brown. Let cool and enjoy.
How easy is that. To make them on a budget, I use store brand cookie dough and dried cranberries. They are just as good as brand names, but easier on the budget.
Beginning next month I will be starting my Thanksgiving and Christmas baking. I hope to share more recipes with you and I would love to hear about your recipes.
Hugs,
Janet

Ladies Tea at Church
Hi Everyone,
Yesterday began our missions conference at our church. Today the ladies at the church host a tea and lunch for all the missionary wives. We had quite a turn out, 8 missionary wives and the guest speaker for the week, his wife. What a great bunches of ladies and so dedicated to doing the Lord's work as they stand beside their husbands on the field. They were so inspirational and encouraging as their share their testimonies and stories from the field that the Lord has called them to.
All the ladies of the church brought either a salad or a dessert. The food was awesome. And the tea. I got to taste three of the about 7 kinds of tea that were offered. I tried Aztect Fire and Chocolate Carmel Truffle, also Cinnamon Creme. They were delicious. The decoration were beautiful as well as the different place settings.
The meeting tonight was very inspiring. Dr. Sisks talked about all the times that Jesus thought and thinks about us. From eternity past, the Garden of Gethesamane, the Judgement Hall, Golgotha (Calvary) to being in glory now. It is truly awesome to think that we are always on Jesus' mind. Think about it when He hung on the cross you were on his mind. When I think of Jesus hanging on the cross and He thought about me and my need for salvation and He was paying the price. Words can not express what I feel in my heart.
Well I better close for now. Take care. Talk to you all soon.
Hugs,
Janet

Bringing the Colors of Autumn Inside
Happy October Everyone,
Autumn is here and it is beautiful. I still have my doors open, just to let the cool fresh air in. Just for the fun of it and because I had one in my freezer today we are having a turkey with all the trimmings. I guess you could say I am practicing for next month when we really do it up big. So needless to the aroma in the house makes you mouth water. Don't you just love the colors of autumn? I read on another blog "Autumn is the second spring when the leaves become the flowers." How true.
I am going to post a some of pictures. One of my autumn tablescape and some others of the different decorations in my diningroom. I just wanted to share with you my excitement about the season so I hope you enjoy them. My God bless you all.
Hugs,
Janet
