Divinity is a classic candy made with granulated sugar, corn syrup, and stiffly beaten egg white. With the addition of chopped pecans, this divinity is crunchy, fluffy, and simply divine. We have had so many rainy days here in East Texas, making it hard to make my divinity that I like to put in our Christmas gift boxes. As you know, it is almost impossible to make divinity when it rains.

Cookie Dough Truffles
Indulge in the delightful taste of cookie dough truffles! They are not only simple to prepare but also add a touch of elegance to your Christmas cookie boxes. COOKIE DOUGH TRUFFLES These cookie dough truffles taste like genuine chocolate chip cookie dough, but you won't have to worry about eating raw eggs. They're the edible version, which makes them so appealing. When I first heard about Cookie Dough Truffles , I thought, what a concept. When baking Chocolate Chip Cookies, who doesn't eat half of the dough before you can even get them on the baking sheets? That would be me—I try, and I try, and I can't help myself from eating the cookie dough right out of the bowl before I can get the first cookie sheet ready for baking. I made some of these truffles for Christmas gifts this year, and they are the gift that keeps on giving deliciousness! WHERE CAN I FIND THE RECIPE? TAKE ME TO THE RECIPE FOR COOKIE DOUGH TRUFFLES Below, under the next heading, I give a list...

Grandma's Slumber Night Party 2009
The highlight of the year for me is when I have our annual “Grandma Slumber Night Party” where all the grandchildren come for a time of making memories. We have individual crafts centers, each one makes their own individual pizza, and then we watch a movie that makes us all laugh. The theme is always God centered and full of fun! 2009 Grandma's Slumber Night Party "The Apple of God's Eye" As November was soon coming to an end, and I needed to begin to think about when to have this year's Grandma's Slumber Night Party, and what the theme was going to be. I decided to have it the Tuesday night before the Thanksgiving weekend when all of my grand children were going to be here together. While I was deciding on what the theme was going to be, I couldn't put out of my mind the words in one of my blog post "You Are The Apple of God's Eyes", and it seemed fitting since I still had an abundance of apples. The whole night was all about "Apple...

Old Fashioned Mincemeat Gingerbread
Mincemeat gingerbread is a delightful combination of two holiday flavors that complement each other perfectly! OLD FASHIONED GINGERBREAD WITH A TWIST Gingerbread and mincemeat are classic holiday flavors that bring back childhood memories. My twin sister shared a recipe many years ago combining these two holiday classics. Old Fashioned Mincemeat Gingerbread is a perfect treat to keep on hand during the holidays. There are many variations of gingerbread, from dark, dense cakes made with molasses to light, delicate cakes made with brown sugar and ginger. This recipe is dark and gingery, with robust mincemeat flavors. Initially, the recipe was made using mincemeat packaged in a box, but they stopped selling it in boxes as the years went by. I had to adjust the recipe when I started buying mincemeat in jars. I have shared both the box recipe and the jar recipe. It's wonderfully simple to make, and the batter comes together quickly. ...

Stuffed Round Steak
Stuffed Round Steak, boneless round steak rolled up with a breadcrumb mixture of herbs and seasonings. This dish is an incredibly flavorful main dish that can be served for any fancy dinner party or the humblest of guests. This is a great recipe to serve for Thanksgiving if you are not a fan of turkey! In 1981, I entered a cooking contest on a local TV show, P M Magazine, that came on each night after the evening news. As I am writing this blog post, I am thinking about the economy as it was in the 80's, as in comparison to today's economy. The unemployment rate was high, and jobs were also hard to find.
