That was until I met my husband and Christmas Eve his mom had one sitting out and he was gobbling it up like it was going out of style. I tried it, I was changed. I've made it ever since, for Christmas Eve. But its good any ole time. It's better then the ones you buy at the store, I promise. The recipe I'm sharing actually makes 2 large size cheese balls or 3 small.<br />
<br />
2 (8 oz) packages of cream cheese (let sit out to come to room temperature)<br />
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar<br />
1 Tbsp chopped pimento<br />
1 Tbsp chopped green pepper<br />
1 Tbsp chopped onion<br />
2 tsp worchestershire<br />
1 tsp lemon juice<br />
dash of cayenne pepper<br />
dash of salt<br />
ground pepper<br />
chopped pecans<br />
<br />
Combine softened cream cheese and cheddar mixing until well combined. (I use my hands) Add remaining ingredients except pecans. Mix well, chill. shape into 2-3 balls and roll in pecans. Serve with your favorite crackers.<br />

<br />
Recipe by Giada De Laurentiis<br />
<br />
2 cups all purpose flour<br />
1 1/2 tsp baking powder<br />
3/4 cup sugar<br />
1 stick unsalted room temperature butter<br />
1 tsp grated lemon zest<br />
1/4 tsp salt<br />
2 eggs<br />
3/4 cup pistachios coarsely chopped<br />
2/3 cup dried cranberries<br />
12 ounces good quality white chocolate, chopped<br />
<br />
Preheat oven to 350 degrees, Line a heavy duty cookie sheet with parchment paper. Whisk the flour and baking powder together in a medium bowl. Using a mixer beat the butter and sugar, lemon zest and salt until combined. Beat in eggs one at a time, add flour mixture and mix until just combined. Stir in pistachios and cranberries.<br />
<br />
Form into a 13 inch long 3 inch wide log onto prepared cookie sheet. Bake until golden about 40 minutes. Cool for 30 minutes. Place the log on a cutting board and using a serrated knife, slice into 3/4 inch thick slices arrange the biscotti cut side down on the baking sheet. Bake until pale golden, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a rack and cool completely.<br />
<br />
Melt the chocolate in a bowl set over simmering water. Dip half the biscotti in the melted chocolate and place on parchment paper to cool completely.<br />

I'm not really digging the 70 degree weather in December, call me crazy.<br />
<br />
2. We have decided as a family to rescue a dog as our Christmas gift. We have 2 dogs but are used to 3 so we decided to do it. She is a precious lab mix, pics will be coming soon.<br />
<br />
3. I had horrible nightmares all weekend of being chased by zombies and or chasing dogs that kept escaping from our fence and by the amount of dogs we had in our yard I would definitely say we were borderline hoarders....of dogs.<br />
<br />
4. Saw Lincoln this weekend. It was L O N G, but the acting was superb. Tommy Lee Jones is and has always been one of my favorites. He was really great in this, as was the entire cast.<br />
<br />
5. <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/x1KK6yNcJfA?fs=1" width="480"></iframe><br />
I have watched this commercial at least 10 times (a day) i cry...every.single.time. maybe it's because I have boys, it just melts me.<br />
<br />
6. I am so unmotivated lately, I feel I've gotten this way ever since daylight savings. I want to curl up on my couch and watch movies all day and night. ugh.<br />
<br />
7. I typically don't get into musicals but the trailer for Les Miserables gives me goosebumps.<br />
<br />
8. Walking dead is on hiatus, but American Horror Story is still on and it is so freakin scary. Why do watch this stuff? I cannot help it.<br />
<br />
9. I just realized everything I am talking about revolves around tv or movies.....I told you I was in a rut.<br />
<br />
10. Happy Monday.Michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11849238592009896365noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1540847167964577722.post-55291527241249659852012-11-12T09:53:00.001-08:002012-11-12T09:53:39.241-08:00The weekendWe had a pretty low key weekend. It was much needed. It's important to stop every once in a while and just be...It's in those moments we are able to refuel. Refresh, rest, listen to the birds, take in the vibrant colors, breathe in the crisp air. Feel the warm sun on our face and be grateful. Thankful for these moments, blessed for another day. God is good.<br />

<br />
recipe by Just Make Stuff<br />
<br />
1 2/3 cup flour<br />
3/4 cup packed brown sugar<br />
1/4 cup sugar<br />
1/4 tsp nutmeg<br />
1/4 tsp cinnamon<br />
1 tsp baking soda<br />
1/4 tsp baking powder<br />
1/4 tsp salt<br />
1 cup mini semi sweet chocolate chips<br />
2 eggs<br />
1 cup pure pumpkin<br />
1 stick butter, melted and cooled slightly<br />
<br />
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a mini muffin pan with non stick spray, set aside. Melt 1 stick of butter, while cooling, in a separate bowl combine the flour, sugars, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, baking soda and chocolate chips, mix to combine. In a small bowl mix the eggs, pumpkin and melted, cooled butter. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir until incorporated. Spoon into mini muffin pan (I used a small ice cream scoop) bake for 12-15 minutes until done. Let cool before removing from the pan.<br />

Slow Down! I apologize for my absence I have no big reason, just taking in October in all it's glory. Autumn is my favorite time of year and it also can be a little crazy, we have a lot of birthdays, anniversaries, school sports that go on during this season. I have been taking it all in, while watching the leaves change and breathing in the crisp air. I got a chance to get away this weekend and experience the Country Living Fair in Stone Mountain, Ga. It was so much fun, I love getting inspired by so many talented artists. I look a lot of pics. Enjoy.<br />

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Beat the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy, add the eggs and vanilla and mix until combined. In a separate bowl combine the flour and salt and baking soda, slowly add to the wet ingredients, add candy bars ans chocolate chips and mix until just combined. Using a medium ice cream scoop, scoop out dough onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet about 1 1/2 inches apart. Bake for 9-11 minutes or until done to your liking (I removed at 9 minutes to get a softer cookie) Let cool on cookie sheet for 5-7 minutes before removing to a cooling rack.<br />

It's been a staple fall cookie in our family for many years. Here's what I love the most about this cookie, its crunchy on the outside but soft in the middle. I know you will love this one, give it a try.<br />
<br />
2 cups all purpose flour<br />
1 Tbsp ground ginger<br />
2 tsp baking soda<br />
1 tsp ground cinnamon<br />
1/2 tsp salt<br />
3/4 cup shortening<br />
1 cup white sugar<br />
1 egg<br />
1/4 cup dark molasses<br />
1/3 cup cinnamon sugar (2/3 cup sugar 1 Tbsp cinnamon mixed)<br />
<br />
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.<br />
<br />
Sift the flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon and salt into a mixing bowl.<br />
Place the shortening into a mixing bowl and beat until creamy. Gradually beat in the white sugar. Beat in the egg, and dark molasses. Slowly add the flour mixture to the sugar/shortening mixture and mix until combined. Pinch off small amounts of dough and roll into 1 inch balls, roll each ball into the cinnamon sugar mixture. Place 2 inches apart onto an ungreased baking sheet.<br />
Bake until the tops are rounded and slightly cracked, about 10 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.<br />

The rascals L O V E D these, they disappeared quick.<br />
I'm totally into all things pumpkin right now. So yummy. So FALL.<br />
<br />
Recipe by Two Peas and Their Pod<br />
<br />
Makes about 24 donuts (mini muffins)<br />
<br />
1 3/4 cup all purpose flour<br />
2 tsp baking powder<br />
1/2 tsp salt<br />
1/2 tsp cinnamon<br />
1/2 tsp nutmeg<br />
1/2 tsp allspice<br />
1/8 tsp cloves<br />
1/3 cup canola oil<br />
1/2 cup light brown sugar<br />
1 egg<br />
1 tsp vanilla extract<br />
3/4 cup canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)<br />
1/2 cup milk<br />
<br />
For the coating<br />
4 Tbsp butter, melted<br />
2/3 cup granulated sugar<br />
2 Tbsp cinnamon<br />
<br />
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a mini muffin pan with nonstick spray, set aside.<br />
In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves. In a separate bowl, whisk the oil, brown sugar, egg, vanilla, pumpkin and milk together until smooth. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir to combine.<br />
Divide batter evenly among muffin tins. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. While the muffins bake, melt the butter in one bowl, and combine the cinnamon and sugar in another. Remove muffins from oven and let cool for 2 minutes then dip into melted butter and roll in cinnamon sugar mixture until coated. Serve warm.<br />

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter, brown sugar and pumpkin. Add in eggs, mix well, then Add cream and vanilla. Stir in dry ingredients. Mix until all combined. Place the mix in a large ziploc bag and cut of the tip. Pipe the batter unto the doughnut pan.<br />
Bake for about 10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes our clean. Let cool in pan for 5 minutes then remove to a cooling rack. Meanwhile, make the glaze. In a medium bowl whisk together the powdered sugar, maple syrup, cinnamon and cream until smooth.<br />
When the doughnuts are completely cool dip them into the glaze and return to wire rack to let the glaze set.<br />

I sort of can't believe it's October 1st. um where did September go? Didn't I just put my kids on the bus for the first day of school? Okay, okay, I'm happy it's here.... but S L O W. D O W N.<br />
<br />
2. This is my favorite season to cook. I roast everything and the amount of soup we consume is ridiculous. Soup is the best, it warms your heart and soul.<br />
<br />
3. Great acting doesn't always make a great movie. ex: The Master. What? the? heck?<br />
<br />
4. Confession: I can't take naps. Ever. it's totally impossible, my body fights it the entire time, my eyes won't stay shut, after about an hour of trying I crawl out of bed more exhausted and pissed off then if I just stayed wide awake! What? this doesn't happen to you?<br />
<br />
5. Another confession: I listen to the 40's station 99% of the time while in my car, the other 1 percent is on Sinatra.<br />
<br />
6. The best. We all need a lot more of it in our lives.<br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PR_UYx4vSPs">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PR_UYx4vSPs</a><br />
<br />
7. So because it's Oct. 1st and because I love oldies, enjoy.<br />

They loved these! They could not have been simpler to make.<br />
<br />
Recipe by Lauren's Latest<br />
<br />
<br />
1/4 cup butter<br />
1/4 cup honey<br />
1/3 cup packed brown sugar<br />
2 cups quick cooking oats<br />
1 cup crispy rice cereal<br />
1/2 tsp vanilla extract<br />
2 Tbsp mini chocolate chips<br />
<br />
In a large bowl stir the cereal and oats together, set aside, in a small saucepan melt butter, honey and brown sugar cook over medium high heat until it starts to bubble, reduce heat and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from heat, pour in vanilla and stir, pour over cereal and oat mixture, stir well to combine. Pour into a lightly greased jelly roll pan (about 12X8X1) Press out to be about 3/4 inch thickness. Sprinkle on the chocolate chips and press them lightly. I placed in the freezer for 30 minutes to set up. Then slice into bars. Store in a airtight container.<br />

shredded cheddar and shredded pepper jack cheese to cover the dish<br />

Seriously. Enjoy.<br />
<br />
<br />
I have spoken before of my love of Ina Garten, let me just tell you this recipe is NO JOKE! It is THE BEST APPLE CRISP....EVER! I am not kidding, just stop searching, it stops here, your done. your good. It's easy and it's the best. The End.<br />
<br />
5 pounds McIntosh or Macoun apples (I used all kinds of apples, 5 pounds is about 10 large apples)<br />
grated zest of 1 lemon<br />
grated zest of 1 orange<br />
2 Tbsp fresh squeezed orange juice<br />
1 Tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice<br />
1/2 cup granulated sugar<br />
2 tsp ground cinnamon<br />
1 tsp ground nutmeg<br />
<br />
For the topping<br />
1 1/2 cups flour<br />
3/4 cup granulated sugar<br />
3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed<br />
1/2 tsp kosher salt<br />
1 cup oatmeal<br />
1/2 pound cold unsalted butter, diced<br />
<br />
Directions<br />
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9 by 13 dish.<br />
Peel, core and cut the apples into large wedges. Combine the apples with the zests, juices, sugar, and spices. Pour into dish.<br />
<br />
To make the topping, combine the flour, sugars, salt, oatmeal, and cold butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix on low speed until the mixture is crumbly and the butter is the size of peas. Scatter evenly over the apples.<br />
<br />
Place the crisp on a sheet pan and bake for 1 hour until the top is brown and the apples are bubbly. Serve warm.<br />

I am sorry about no recipe posts this week, I have been baking, just stuff that I've already posted! I spent way too much time fiddling with how to repost some of my fall favorites, hopefully will get that figured out this weekend. Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.<br />

So I decided to download our next book club book to my new phone so I can listen to it while doing my cardio. Did I mention the book is World War Z? Z is for Zombies? Ya. a lot of scoping out the woods and turning around to see what is lurking behind me. spooky.<br />
<br />
2. You know that person out in public with the tag hanging out of their shirt? Yeah, that lady with the sticker down her jeans showing her size and length, thinking she looks cute in her new jeans? Yes, that's me. It never fails.<br />
<br />
3. I tried tuning into X Factor last week, see what all the hype is about, also because I wanted to stare at Brittney Spears and listen to her talk. It was awful. Really. The Voice is so much better. If Christina could just cover herself up a bit it would be excellent.<br />
<br />
4. The mister and I seriously cannot wait for our shows to start. We are major couch potatoes in the fall. It makes us giddy. Silly, I know.<br />
<br />
5. It's here people. I couldn't be happier, it's my favorite time of year. I'm heading to the attic to bust out my seasonal decor. Laugh if you want to.<br />

It's yummy.<br />
<br />
3 cups all purpose flour<br />
2 cups sugar<br />
1 cup vegetable oil<br />
4 eggs<br />
2 1/2 tsp baking powder<br />
juice and zest of of 1 orange<br />
2 tsp vanilla extract<br />
5 large apples, cored, peeled and sliced<br />
2 tsp cinnamon<br />
5 Tbsp sugar<br />
<br />
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour and bundt cake pan, set aside.<br />
Mix first seven ingredients in a large bowl until combined. In a small bowl mix the cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle over apple slices until fully coated.Pour 1/2 of cake mixture into prepared cake pan. cover with apples, pour rest of batter over apples (the batter is thick) I use a spatula to try to smear the batter and cover as many of the apples as I can.<br />
<br />
Bake for 1 hour or until a cake tester inserted into the cake comes out clean. Cool in pan for 30 minutes then flip onto cooling rack.<br />

apple season<br />

I love the crisp air, shorter days, gorgeous leaves and the food. The soups, stews, root vegetables, something roasting in the oven for hours, then enjoyed in front of a crackling fire. Also with Autumn comes Apple season, so many varieties all so delicious when eaten at their peak. My brother and sister in law dropped of a huge bag of apples fresh from the orchard so I have a lot of baking to do. I first started with a batch of applesauce. There is nothing better then home made apple sauce.<br />
<br />
Recipe by Taste of home<br />
<br />
8 cups peeled, chopped tart apples (about 3 1/2 pounds)<br />
1/2 cup packed brown sugar (if using sweeter apples use less sugar)<br />
1 tsp ground cinnamon<br />
2 tsp vanilla extract<br />
<br />
In a dutch oven combine the apples, brown sugar and cinnamon. Cook over med-low heat until the apples are tender (30-40 minutes), stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, add vanilla, mash apples until desired texture is reached. Serve warm or cold.<br />
