In the 1950s, Mamie Eisenhower introduced marshmallow whip creme to fudge recipes, changing the whole concept of how easy it is to make, not to mention how delicious it is. I grew up helping my Mother make this fudge every year for Christmas.   We looked forward to helping scoop the fudge with a tablespoon and push the fudge out with another onto wax paper.

Mexican Pot Roast

Mexican Pot Roast  is a pot roast with a spicy twist. Most grocery stores carry all the ingredients, such as pork roast, jalapenos, Rotel tomatoes, and spices. MEXICAN POT ROAST Mexican Pot Roast is a recipe that offers many possibilities for weeknight meals, including burritos, tacos, enchiladas, and more. The holidays are just a few days away, and I wanted to share a great recipe to cook in a crockpot. With some of the b-u-s-i-n-e-s-s that come with the holidays, cooking dinner is sometimes hard to get done.   Around our house, my girls love to get in the kitchen a couple of days before Thanksgiving and make up a bunch, and I mean a bunch of pie crust for our Thanksgiving pies.   We even prepare some of our side dishes and freeze them for the big day. With all of that going on, it is hard to put a meal on the table, so I like to cook in my crockpot.

Old School Fried Biscuits {aka Camp Biscuits at our house!}

Camp Biscuits  have been around my house ever since I was a little girl, then I started making them for my children on Saturday morning.  We make them here at the house, when we are camping, and at the deer lease.    These make delicious and quick beignets! Just cut them in half, fry them, and dust with powdered sugar. Another great idea is when you serve Chinese, finish out your meal with some of these  Fried Biscuits  rolled in sugar only .  And you will feel as though you are at your favorite Chinese restaurants.

Crockpot Roast New Potatoes and Carrots {Has The Flavors of a Classic Pot Roast}

Crockpot Roast New Potatoes and Carrots  are one of the meals I cooked a lot while we were in the hotel this summer as our house was being repaired. Cooking in the crockpot is more out of convenience for me than anything else, but in the hotel, we didn't have an oven so, the crockpot was perfect. I usually put my roast in the crockpot before I go to bed at night and cook it on low all night. Get up the next morning and turn it to warm. And two or three hours before serving it, I put the potatoes and carrots in and turn to high. Don't you just love these one pot meals!
