Scallop Potatoes and Ham
Growing up the one thing I could hardly wait for was the day after Christmas, when my mom made Scallop Potatoes and Ham. This year I decided to make Scallop Potatoes and Ham for several reasons. One, the ham Jeff bought was bigger than his head and two, it snowed Sunday. That is my … Continue reading
Divinity (AKA: Damnation)
Every year growing up my grandmother would make divinity, every year my aunt and I would tell my cousins they wouldn’t like it so we could eat their share (it worked too!) The first year Christmas I decided to bake cookies for friends I wanted to make divinity. Three batches later I called my grandma … Continue reading
Finish It Friday! (More like Frantic Friday–lol!)

Tasty Tuesday–Peppermint Bark (21+ ONLY–lol!)
Every year I bake cookies (lots and lots of cookies) and I always make “Special” Peppermint Bark. This peppermint bark recipe is not you grandma’s Peppermint Bark, unless she used Rumple Mintz (that is 100 PROOF Peppermint Schnapps). My peppermint bark melts in your mouth because I add too much Rumple Mintz, so it barely … Continue reading
Pumpkin Bread Pudding–Yes it is that good!
Once again this recipe stems from Martha Stewart circa 2004. I have made this several times. I how ever am not making it this year I opted for the Pumpkin Cranberry Custard – Crock Pot Dessert so I would not “over use” my oven – I fear it is on it’s last leg of it’s … Continue reading
