Get Started Now On This DIY Easter Table

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 19:09:00 +0000

Start planning for this DIY Kid friendly Easter table now. I found this idea in my favorite magazine Southern Living and plan to have my kids help me with the growing details. My family spends Easter in Memphis, Tennessee so being outdoors is a big part of the day. Planning for Easter is always fun for my three Sisters and two Sister In Laws. We all love to entertain which is part of our Southern Belle upbringing. This year I am going, with this Spring colored Easter DIY theme. Keeping a budget in mind, this is a great color splash table for a large Easter Family get together. I recommend you check your local dollar stores for much of the Easter supplies. In Southern California we have 99cent stores, so I was lucky enough to find cute colored buckets there. I also found the plastic egg halves there as well. Next you need to purchase wheat grass, which you can find at your local Nursery or anywhere that sells seeds. Purchase sugar molds, which I researched online and found easily.

Place the eggs in the sugar mold holes. Place a few spoons of top soil into the plastic egg halves. Plant a few seeds of the Wheat Grass in the soil, and allow 7 to 10 days for germination. The day of the Easter party tuck in fresh daisies, daffodils and bright tulips for a spectacular spring display. Finish the table setting by filling the color buckets with pastel Easter egg candies, and cereals for the kids.

We Have To Act On Improving The Health Of Our Children!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 21:36:00 +0000

The number of overweight kids has tripled in the last 30 years, and an alarming number of American children have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes. We must take action! Pass on cooking to your kids. Teach your children a few simple recipes for survival in case they have to survive on their own. It is up to us to teach our children, schools, and to put preassure on business to teach change in our country when it comes to food. We need to support Mrs. Obama at what she is trying to do; improved school nutrition, better labeling of high-calorie foods and drinks, support for farmers’ markets, and a coordinated education campaign to help moms and dads instill good eating habits.

The holidays always are a fun time to bring the kids into the kitchen and carry out family traditions. This recipe is a new holiday cookie recipe we learned about from a Chicago friend. I made them and everyone loved them! So try them it's fun, easy, and a very special holiday cookie to put out this holiday season.

PEPPERMINT FUDGE COOKIE SANDWICHES

1/4 c butter

1/2 c sugar

1 egg

3/4 semi-sweet chocolate morsels

3/4 c flour

2 crushed candy canes

1/4 c white chocolate morsels

10-12 peppermint patties

1. Preheat to 375. Line cookie sheet w/ parchment. Microwave swmi sweet chocolate morsels and butter on high 60 seconds,stirring after each 20 second interval. Add sugar and egg to bowl. Mix until l blended. Add flour and mix until all dry ingredients are mixed. Using a small scoop, drop level scoops of batter onto pan. Bake 10 min or until edges done.

2. Prepare white chocolate for melting in microwave and have crushed candy canes and peppermint patties ready. Prepare but do not microwave yet!

3. Remove cookie pan from oven. Immediately turn half of the cookies over and top with peppermint patty and remaining cookies to form sandwiches.

4. Put Candy Canes in plastic bag and smash with meat tenderizer hammer or similar kitchen tool.

5. While the hot cookies and patties are molding and cooling, melt white chocolate morsels for 30 secs. or until smooth. You will use this chocolate for drizzling. Inverted a plastic baggie over your hand, scooping the melted white chocolate into the inverted baggie, turn baggie right side out, the twist tightly with tie, then snip a little corner off the baggie to use as a piping bag. Squeeze the baggie and use for piping white chocolate over cookie sandwiches. Immediately sprinkle with crushed candy canes. Place on serving platter.

How To Make PopCorn Chicken

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 16:55:00 +0000

Popcorn Chicken is a meal kids love. Serve it with mashed potatoes, buttermilk biscuits, and gravy.

Ingredients
1 egg
1 cup white flour
1 tsp Cajun seasoning
2 small boneless chicken breasts
3/4 cups vegetable oil

Mix flour and Cajun seasoning in small mixing bowl.

In separate bowl, beat egg.

Cut chicken breasts in small pieces anywhere from about a 1/2 inch to 1 1/2 inch in size, depending on how crispy you want (smaller=crispier).

Pour oil into a small skillet and place on a medium heat.

Dip pieces of chicken into egg, make sure they are fully covered.

Drop the chicken, piece by piece into the flour mixture, coating the chicken.

Test to be sure that the oil is ready by dropping a little drop of batter into the oil. If it sizzles and fries, it's ready. Slide the chicken into the skillet, slowly to be sure the oil doesn't splatter all over you. Do this as quickly as possible. After about 3-4 minutes, flip the pieces over. Pieces should be colored a light golden brown.

When chicken is finished, scoop it out draining as much oil as possible into the pan for more chicken and place it on a plate with the two paper towels lining the bottom.

My best serving suggestion is buttermilk biscuits, mashed potatoes, and gravy.

Easy Family Recipe For Beef Brisket With Coca Cola

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 21:57:00 +0000

Beef Brisket with Coca-Cola

This is a famous Jewish Recipe, for a delicious Beef Brisket made with Coca Cola. The flavors cook together and is a simple cost saving meal. Men love this recipe and eat slices for days, so we recommend a large brisket.

Ingredients

1 3 to 4 pound beef brisket
1 envelope dry Lipton onion soup mix
1 can diced tomatoes
1 12 oz. bottle of regular Coca Cola

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Trim meat of as much fat as possible.
Place the brisket in a 9 x 13 shallow baking pan and sprinkle with the dry onion soup mix.
Top with the can of diced tomatoes.
Pour the Coca-Cola over top. With a spoon, spread the tomatoes all over the brisket to make sure all of the meat is covered.
Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake in preheated oven 3 to 4 hours or until brisket is fork tender.
Important: Remove the brisket from the oven, and let it rest for at least 20 minutes. This will give the meat time for the juices to re-distribute.
Brisket traditionally has more flavor the next day
Slice thinly against the grain.

Will You Be There lyrics

Hold Me
Like The River Jordan
And I Will Then Say To Thee
You Are My Friend

Carry Me
Like You Are My Brother
Love Me Like A Mother
Would You Be There?

Weary
Tell Me Will You Hold Me
When Wrong, Will You Skold Me
When Lost Will You Find Me?

But They Told Me
A Man Should Be Faithful
And Walk When Not Able
And Fight Till The End
But I'm Only Human

Everyone's Taking Control Of Me
Seems That The World's
Got A Role For Me
I'm So Confused
Will You Show To Me
You'll Be There For Me
And Care Enough To Bear Me

(Hold Me) show me
(Lay Your Head Lowly)

(Softly Then Boldly)
(Carry Me There)
I'm Only Human

(Lead Me)

(Softly You Say To Me)
(I Will Be There)
I Will Be There

(Lift Me)

[Spoken]
In Our Darkest Hour
In My Deepest Despair
Will You Still Care?
Will You Be There?
In My Trials
And My Tripulations
Through Our Doubts
And Frustrations
In My Violence
In My Turbulence
Through My Fear
And My Confessions
In My Anguish And My Pain
Through My Joy And My Sorrow
In The Promise Of Another Tomorrow
I'll Never Let You Part
For You're Always In My Heart.
