Missing You All!!!!!!

Hey, everybody I hope you are all doing okay! Our computer got hit on April 30th by lightening and it is in the shop. First I tried to order a motherboard and it was the wrong one after it taking so long to get here. Trying for a refund now. Had to get the modem fixed too. On DD's lap top. She doesn't always have it tho. Our weather is HOT and RAINY! Hope to get back on in the next couple of weeks. Missing reading up on everybody!!!!

Check out this recipe......

Go to my sidebar and look at: My Five Men

On her post for 4-25 she has a recipe for Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Cookies. Haven't tried them but they look GOOD!

I tried these late this afternoon

I got this recipe off of the Pioneer Woman's blog today and thought I would try them. They got the thumbs up from the family. So another keeper to file.

French Breakfast Puffs

3 cups flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup sugar
2/3 cups shortening (Crisco) I used another brand
2 whole eggs
1 cup milk
1 1/2 cup sugar
3 teaspoons cinnamon
2 sticks of butter

Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease 12 muffin cups. In a large bowl stir together flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. Set aside. In a different bowl, cream together 1 cup sugar and shortening. Then add eggs and mix again. Add flour mixture and milk alternately to creamed mixture, beating well after each addition.
Fill prepared muffin cups 2/3 full. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until golden.
In a bowl, melt 2 sticks butter. In a separate bowl combine remaining sugar and cinnamon. Dip baked muffins in butter and roll around till all coated then dip into the sugar/cinnamon mixture.

The recipe says it makes 12 but I got 18 and ended up melting another stick of butter to do all mine. Had very little butter left and a small amount of sugar/cinnamon mixture left.


Okay, I had my husband take 6 to my great aunts for them to have, DH, DS and I had 1 each and DD's BF had 1 or 2.

Review on supper

Next time I think I will cook it at 350 and alittle longer. Apples were cut thin but needed just a tad longer. Cornbread I will do just a tad thinner too. But we liked it.

Supper Tonight

Saw this on Paula Deen the other day at lunch time. Will see how it is.

Piggy Pudding

16 link pork sausages
4 to 5 tart apples, peeled, cored and sliced
1 (7 1/2 ounce) package yellow cornbread mix, batter prepared according to package directions
1 cup maple syrup, for serving
Fresh sage for garnish, optional

Preheat oven to 450. Cook sausages in a skillet until done, piercing with a fork to let out fat. Drain and then arrange in a 9" square baking dish. Layer sliced apples on top. Pour corn bread batter over all and bake for approximately 30 minutes or until cornbread is done. Serve with warm maple syrup and garnish with sage.

Sister and Brother

These kittens are about 6 months old. Their mother is expecting again. She has had so many babies. She was a stray and vet thought she was to old to fix. At one time she had a couple litters and only had 1 each time and they died and we thought she was done. We love cats but there is a limit. I have 1 inside and the rest (4) are outside. This was taken in a storage area.

Who likes to play..........................

Polish Golf, ladderball and not sure what else it is all called? We made this about 6 or 7 years ago. Kids played it in high school during P.E. and I didn't till our friends in Iowa had it in 2003 when were there. At get togethers and then sometimes in the evening we play it. Need to repaint a couple sets of balls. Had to remake 2 pairs.
