Double Divinity

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!

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...
