Christmas in the Country


We're on the downhill side of Christmas countdown and I hope you're ready.


christmas candle1Check out the new recipes I've just posted. One is a dessert recipe I promised; Pineapple Surprise Gelatin Dessert/Side dish - it has a surprise ingredient that will have all at the dining table trying to guess what it is.   My family has been making and serving this delicious treat for over 40 years!

Another recipe I promised is one to drink on those cold nights; party fare at it's finest during this beautiful holiday season - hope you enjoy my recipe for Tom & Jerry's.

Just click on Cat Food to find both!

Have a wonderful Christmas.

Country Christmas is Coming

christmas Church 4     Where did 2011 go?  There are only 30 days left in this year.  I'm excited about Christmas as I'm sure you all know; such a wonderful holiday encompassing the Birth of our Savior and a season of fun, food, festivities, gifts and lots of other celebrations. 
My sewing machine has been running a lot! I enjoyed helping to celebrate three birthdays in November; now Christmas and six RED (adult) tutu's for a church program and many, many other sewing projects so I've been busy. 
     I'll be making at least two more tutu's for grand daughters; a red one and a purple one.  Have a lot more "on the books", but I'm not going to divulge those surprises just yet!
christmas gingBread house     Don't forget your "from scratch" recipes to share with all our readers. I've posted at least one new one for Pumpkin Pie Bars that is a real hit. My family refers to it as 'Punkin Heaven'!
     Tom and Jerry's? Pineapple Surprise Jello? I'll be posting these and others in the next few days, so please, stay tuned.  Be sure to try some of the other recipes I've posted.  Unless otherwise noted, they are all MY creations or reinventions and YES, I've tried them all ... some are old favorites and some are getting there. They're all on the Cat Food page.
     Speaking of staying tuned .. did you see the Lighting Celebration November 30th at Rockefeller Center (in person or on television)?  Neil Diamond and Tony Bennett! ! Oh my goodness. Of course some of the up and coming 'young pups' were also featured, but Neil Diamond!  I've always been a fan of his and you just can't not love Tony Bennett; he's older than dirt!
     Do you have any special holiday traditions, ornaments or anything else?  Want to share? 
     Have a wonderful Country life as the days wind down to Christmas.
