Stuffed Pumpkin

 

1 pie pumpkin (with stem attached for "handle")

chopped apples (1-2 cups) (firm variety like Granny Smith or Jonathan)

raisins (1/2 cup approx.)

chopped pecans (1/2 cup approx.) (optional)

brown sugar (1/4 to 1/2 cup approx.)

cinnamon (1 teaspoon approx.)

nutmeg (1/2 teaspoon approx.)

honey (2-3 Tablespoons approx.)

(the amounts vary depending upon the size of the pumpkin)

 

Cut a lid in the pumpkin like you are going to make a jack-0-lantern. Clean out the seeds and "goop". In a bowl, mix together chopped apples, raisins, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and honey. Spoon into hollowed out pumpkin. Replace lid. Bake on a cookie sheet or low baking pan at 350 degrees for one hour. Check to see if pumpkin flesh is cooked all the way through and filling is hot. Baking time varies due to size of pumpkin. When thoroughly cooked, remove lid and serve, scooping out some of the pumpkin with the filling. Serve with whipped cream if desired. I have also cooked the pumpkin in a crock pot, but you have to line the crock pot with foil so that you can use the foil to lift the pumpkin out of the crock pot to serve. You can stuff the pumpkin with anything you like in any proportion you like - I have a friend who likes to add pineapple instead of raisins. I've also used maple syrup instead of the honey. This is a different dessert to take to fall pot lucks or tailgate parties.

I make these Chow Mein Noodle candies, too, but I also add cashews. Yummy!

We have a special version of Eggnog Coffee that we like to make...

1 part Coffee

1 part Eggnog

1 part rum (more or less to your liking)

 

Mix together and warm in microwave then stir again and top with Whipped Cream - sprinkle on a little fresh ground nutmeg and snuggle up in front of a warm fire (or in our case a warm TV... as it rarely gets cold enough to light a fire down here.) LOL

I am the cook of the family so I do most of the cooking for our big family holiday meals. I was having difficultly deciding on just which recipe to post. I try something new ever year but we have the ole standards too. I asked the kids what was their favorite and they could not decide on just one either so I am going to post our top 3 favorites:) Hope everyone enjoys.

NOTE: I cook all the time so I have learned to measure by sight, I never measure unless I making something for the first time....sorry some recipes might not have measurements.

 

1) Snicker Salad:

Super easy and quick and everyone with a sweet tooth loves it.

5-6 apples, cored and cubed (green apples makes the salad have the best flavor)

1 lg. container Cool Whip

3-4 SNICKERS candy bars, cut into sm. pieces

Mix all the ing. in bowl and chill....serve cold.

 

To make it your own you can add things like peanuts, walnuts, or flavored Cool Whip (like french vanilla or chocolate).

 

 

 

2)Sausage Dressing

The sausage makes the dressing a meal in it's own...if you have access to deer meat then deer sausage is the best.

 

1 lb. sausage

2 med. onions, diced

4 stalks celery, diced

1 package of cornbread stuffing mix (I think the cube stuffing is the best)

chicken broth

Salt, pepper, garlic salt to taste

Stick butter

 

Brown and drain the sausage with the onions and celery. Prepare the stuffing mix according to the package directions (using the chicken broth to replace some of the water, if not all) and seasoning with salt, pepper and garlic salt.

Stir sausage mixture into stuffing mix until well mixed. Place mixture into Pyrex dish.

This can be made ahead and chilled in the refrigerator over night. Right before it is time to put the food on the table place some butter pats on top, a little chicken broth poured over the top and a little garlic salt and warm up in the oven until butter melts and browns the top. YUMMY :)

 

 

3)Deviled Eggs (with a little kick)

Dozen hard boiled eggs

Couple spoon fulls of mayo

A dash of mustard

Salt, pepper and garlic salt to taste

Dash or 2 of jalapeno juice

Milk

Paprika

 

Peel and rinse cooled eggs, slice each egg in half length wise. Remove yolk and place in bowl. Line egg whites on plates or platters. Using a fork or potato masher,smash the yolk until almost a fine powder consistency. In the bowl with the yolks add the mayo, mustard, seasonings, jalapeno juice and mix until it is a thick paste consistency. Add a little milk and mix, if it is not a thick liquid mixture add a little more milk until you do have a thick liquid mixture. At this point I will taste it to see if it needs a bit more mayo, seasoning or juice.

 

When you are happy with the consistency and taste, fill a large Ziploc baggie with the yolk mixture and cut one corner off. Squeeze the yolk mixture into the egg whites and sprinkle paprika on top.

 

Trust me these will not last...make sure you make enough. I usually make 3 dozen for Thanksgiving and Christmas for a family of 22 and they are all gone before everyone is done eating

 

 

Hope everyone enjoys all the recipes and everyone has a fulfilling and fun Black Friday :)

This is one of my favorites!! It looks so nice and is much easier to make than you would think. One down side, if you do have leftovers the cookies get soggy after sitting in the fridge. But you can take them off and use fresh ones when reserving.

 

Elegant Eggnog Dessert Recipe

 

1 can (13-1/2 ounces) Pirouette cookies

1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs

1/4 cup butter, melted

2 cups cold milk

2 packages (3.4 ounces each) instant vanilla pudding mix

1/2 teaspoon rum extract

1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 cup heavy whipping cream

 

Cut each cookie into 2 2-1/2-in. sections; set aside. Crush remaining 1-inch pieces. In a small bowl, combine the cookie crumbs, cracker crumbs and butter; press onto the bottom of a greased 9-in. springform pan.

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Beat in the eggnog, milk, pudding mixes, extract and nutmeg until smooth. Whip cream until stiff peaks form. Fold whipped cream into pudding mixture. Spoon over crust. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.

Just before serving, remove sides of pan. Arrange reserved cookies around dessert and press gently into sides. Refrigerate leftovers.

I make at least 3 batches a year and we always run out of it.....People Puppy Chow.

 

1 box rice chex

1 bag semi sweet or milk chocolate chocolate chips (whichever you prefer)

1 cup peanut butter, smooth

 

1 small bag powdered sugar

 

Using your biggest non-stick pot, melt the choc. chips and pb. Once melted slowly turn the rice chex into the mixture until all of the cereal is coated.

 

In a separtate container (you can use a paper bag, an old ice cream bucket, but I prefer my big lock n lock container), line the bottom with powdered sugar, place about 1/2 of the cereal mixture on top of the powdered sugar and then add about another cup of powdered sugar to the top. Shake shake shake. Add the rest of your cereal mixture and some more powdered sugar. Shake shake shake. Pour out onto covered surface to cool. Store in air tight container or baggie.

 

My son really loves making this recipe, it's fun and it's easy!

[theboyzmom]

my other favorite, but easy snack to make (I'm very kid oriented) is Christmas Wreaths

 

make rice cereal treats, but instead of using rice cereal, you use a flake cereal

 

6 cups cereal

1 bag marshmallows

1 stick butter

 

combine in pot on stove until marshmallows and butter have melted and coated all the cereal

 

I like to add green food coloring to make the cereal look like leaves

 

put on food service gloves and form 'wreaths' out of cereal and place on wax paper

before they dry, add a few cinnamon red hots for holly berries

 

eat and enjoy!

Nutty Cheese Bars

1 pkg Duncan Hines Butter Golden Recipe Cake mix

3/4 c chopped walnuts or pecans

 

Topping:

2-8 oz pkg of cream cheese, softened

3/4 c light brown sugar

3/4 c chopped walnuts or pecans

 

For the base, mix butter, cake mix, and nuts together, and press into bottom of a 9x13 pan. Combine cream cheese and brown sugar and mix until smooth. Spread over base and sprinkle with nuts. Bake at 325 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes, or until edges are browned. Cool completely and cut into pieces. (These taste best after being chilled, since the base will harden...if you eat them too soon out of the oven, they are sicky sweet)...refrigerate leftovers...
