June 13 Thought For The Day

Pretzel Turtles

These quick and easy candies are always a treat and get rave reviews. I personally prefer to have my chocolate covered caramels, pretzels, and pecans separately - but that's just me - everyone else I have made these for really likes them so I am including them here. If you give them a try I would really like to hear your comments.

June 10 Thought For The Day

It seemed like a good day to go with a lighter thought for the day. Hope you can't identify with this as much as I can!

Amish Potluck Potato Casserole

This recipe is from the Homestyle Amish Cookbook, 2010. It's a basic, simple casserole that isn't low on flavor.  If you find the flavor is a little to basic for your tastes you can always add extra flavors like green onions, bell peppers, pimentos or spices. The corn flakes on the top are tasty but it's also tasty made with crushed Ritz crackers instead of the corn flakes. Hope that you enjoy it!

June 9 Thought For The Day

I think this saying is so true:

Apricot Pineapple Freezer Jam

Last year was a bumper crop for apricot trees in my area and I made several batches of this jam. This year the trees don't have near as many apricots on them but hopefully there will be enough for another batch as last years batches disappeared quickly among the neighbors. This jam is easy to make and is delicious and it's great to just go to the freezer in the winter and be able to have that great summer taste!
