Beef or Venison Pot Pies, a casserole under a crust my family describes it. Long ago, the name Pot Pie came from cooking the filling in a pot on the stove and then pouring it into a crust to bake. Pot pies scream comfort food at best!! We are huge fans of pot pies around our house. You can make some of the best pot pies with leftovers. One way to transform leftovers into pure goodness.

White Chocolate Cherry Nut Cookies
Cookie trays are the perfect dessert around the holidays because they can be made in advance and are easy to serve with little fanfare. They are the star on the table of any gathering. My daughter-in-law, Brandy, adapted this recipe for White Chocolate Cherry Nut Cookies from my recipe for Chocolate Drizzled Cherry Delights . She came up with the idea to add white chocolate chips and pecans to the cookie batter and drizzle white chocolate over them. Turns out I really like these over the chocolate ones. Since there are some in the family that prefers the chocolate ones, that's the reason you make both and let everyone choose for themselves. These White Chocolate Cherry Nut Cookies are soft and chewy with chunks of white chocolate, chopped candied cherries, and crunchy pecans in a Betty Crocker sugar cookie mix. These cookies are so easy and quick to make. Don't underestimate the flavor and richness of this holiday cookie. ...

Whisk everything together and scoop them out on a baking sheet. How easy is that? They are wonderfully delicious! The traditional macaroon has been around for eons.

Mexican Pot Roast

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.
Stew in a Pumpkin {Baked and served in a pumpkin}
Baked Pumpkin Stew is a flavorful beef stew cooked and served in a sugar pie pumpkin. When serving, raise the ladle up with the stew scraping the sides of the pumpkin being sure to get a generous serving of pumpkin. A true taste of Fall! To celebrate the Fall, pumpkin is so hot these days, and almost anything can be made with it. When I grew up in the 60s, pumpkin pie and pumpkin bread were the most popular recipes to make. These days that is not the case.
