Living Insanity's Loving Food

So I didnt have any Thanksgiving leftovers because Thanksgiving was at my parents house I went to the grocery store today and bought a turkey breast which I roasted for about 2 hours. Then I bought the ingredients for a pot pie :) I used the same recipe as my previous chicken pot pie 5 hours later

More of my mom's Thanksgiving recipes Creamy Corn Pudding **we TRIPLE this recipe for our Thanksgiving of about 12 people 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablspoons flour 1 tablespoon sugar 3/4 teaspoon salt 3/4 cup milk 1 can (17 ounces) cream style corn 3 eggs Melt butter in saucepan over low heat; add flour, sugar, and salt, stirring until smooth. Cook one minute, stirring constantly. Gradually add milk; cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and bubbly. Remove mixture from heat, and stir in corn. Beat eggs well. Gradually stir in about 1/4 of hot mixture into beaten eggs; then add remaining hot mixture, stirring constantly. Pour into a lightly greased one and one half quart casserole. Bake at 350 degrees for about 1 hour. Yield 6 servings For some reason when we make a double batch for 9 people it disappears so we now triple the recipe. PLEASE be careful when adding eggs to a hot mixture. You can get scrambled eggs and it is not what you want to do here!...

I don't think I have personally ever made Rice Krispy treats. I may have been in the kitchen once when my mom made them. Anthony is in charge of his work party this year. The caterers brought some kind of Rice Krispy treat that he enjoyed. It involved a peanut butter layer and mini marshmallows. So. We made the regular rice krispys treat recipe www.ricekrispies.com Look for the ORIGINAL recipe. There are other variations. 3 tablespoons butter 10 ounces marshmallow 6 cups cereal Melt the butter, then add the marshmallows and melt them too, last you add the cereal and smoosh it all into a pan. Next we took 1 cup corn syrup and boiled it (it boils FAST) Then added 1 cup peanut butter to the hot syrup and stirred it until smooth We spooned the peanut butter mixture over the rice krispy treats Lastly we sprinkled peanuts, chocolate chips, and mini marshmallows over the wet peanut butter layer. Now it is sitting in the fridge. I have no idea if this is like the dessert DH had but h...

It was nice weather here today so we invited friends over to grill. I made pumpkin bread (from Trader Joes) and I am making scalloped potatoes right now. They are almost finished.

I bought some Trader Joes pumpkin bread mix on an impulse buy. I know I can make my own from scratch but I grabbed it anyway and it's been sitting on the shelf a while. I bought these bowls from Martha Stewart's Macys collection on Tuesday and I got to use one while mixing my pumpkin bread. I love these bowls! They are nice and hard, wont pick up stains, and they have nice tight lids so you can toss them in the fridge. I love to just keep my food in the bowl instead of having to transfer it to tupperware.

Last night we went to my nephew's high school football game. We decided to bring our own food which turned out to be a very good idea since they ran out of food at half time! DH and I stopped at a BBQ place with my dad. The place is pretty new and the food is good. www.klobysbbq.com They were grilling and chopping the meat for our sandwiches while we were waiting for our order. My dad and I got the brisket cheese steak sub and it was crazy good.
