I've got a ham with pineapple slices and juice in the crockpot. I am making sweet potato fries and green bean casserole to go with it. Baked the pumpkin pie yesterday.

Does anyone do tamales for New Year's? It's a big tradition with most of my Hispanic friends. I can't make em' but I'll get some from my friend's mom.

Oh, Shoot..........when I saw the title of this thread, I thought it was about Hank Williams........he's the guy who wrote and recorded "Hey, Good Lookin' " in 1951, which continues to be a hit, even today.........



BTW, I ain't cookin' anything right now.........

Just unwrap the ham and open the can of pineapple. The sweet potato fries take more effort but they are worth it.

I LOVE pumpkin cheesecake. And, fruit pies. Come to think of it...there aren't really any desserts I don't like.

I cooked a ham I injected with a pineapple juice, butter, honey brown sugar, and molasses with cloves cherries and pineapple then glazed with the injection mixture, candied yams, potato salad, baked beans, and green beans. Pecan pie and chocolate chip cookies for dessert.

I am makeing homemade jalpena poppers.

I did t his over the summer when the garden was cranking out lots of peppers but today I am useing these baby sweet peppers I found that are the right size.

I chop up some jallapena peppers and mix it with the cream cheese to give it some bite slice em down the middle core them out fill with cream cheese top with chedder and breadcrumbs.

bake at three fifty untll cheese is melty.

The peppers are loaded with vitamin C so its a sorta healthy snack if not a pain to make.

Cant seem to stay on task with this job

They are awsome. got the baby peppers at the local grocery they are called mini sweet peppers yellow orange and red ones from Pero Farms.

Just the right size I gota get back to work on them.

Cheesy Ham Cassarole........yummy

I bought crab legs and steaks to cook for New Year's Eve. I've never done the crab legs before so I'm excited about it.

I am not cooking for a change. The kiddo and I are going out tonight, woohoo!!

Where did you eat?

Today I put a roast in the crockpot with potatoes and carrots. I just put the whole thing in the fridge because I ended up taking one of my daughters out to dinner. It smelled really good when we got home though.

We went to IHOP, LOL.

brie with strawberries and walnuts

Dang you Sea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After reading all this...................


















I had Taco Bell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What should I cook this weekend? It's just me. I'm not sure what sounds good yet.

Hor 'doerve: Bacon wrapped Water Chestnuts (1/2 slice bacon wrapped around a whole water chestnut, microwave until bacon is cooked)

Main course: Spinach Salad (Baby spinach leaves to bite size, hard-boiled egg, bacon pieces, 1/2 Cup MW-warmed Caesar Dressing.)

Cheesey Garlic Baguette: Slice a baguette in half lengthwise..pop under broiler until browned..remove and peel a garlic clove, rub the clove all over the toasted baguette..top with melted butter, parmesan or any cheese you like..pop back under broiler to brown.

Dessert: Baked apple (Core, leaving the bottom still there, add raisins, brown sugar and butter..shake of cinnamon/nutmeg..Bake until done. For kids (me) I add little red peppermint candies to it :-)

Just some ideas, for one or two :-)

Miss Soufie, you rock! I'm definitely doing the apple.

The bacon wrapped water chestnuts sound good, too, but that reminds me of a recipe I wanted to try with dates.

Ooooo you can make SO many things with dates.
Puree'd, they make a great base for cookies,
cakes, anything you want sweet.

The water chestnuts come ready to use in a
can, in water, you can get them sliced or
whole, whole is what works best with the bacon :-)
