The card slot on my computer is not working, so I can’t upload the rest of my pictures I wanted to share from the Auburn v. Georgia game that we went to this past weekend! D3 had a ball and loved the cotton candy, if you can’t tell from my previous post!

It’s hard to believe, but Thanksgiving is next week-so, I wanted to post a couple of my favorite Thanksgiving recipes!

Mawmaw’s Cornbread Dressing
Ingredients:

Cream of celery coup
Cream of chicken soup
1 ½ tbsp. sage
1 can chicken broth
Salt and pepper to taste
Cake of cornbread

Directions:

Crumble cornbread into fine piece in a medium bowl
Add the rest of the ingredients and stir
Place in casserole dish
Cook on 350 degrees for 45 minutes

And I’m pretty sure my husband’s favorite thing that I make:

Crunchy Caramel Apple Pie
Ingredients:

1 deep-dish pastry crust- 9 inch
1/2 cup sugar
3 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp. salt
6 cups thinly slice, peeled apples (2 different kinds)
1 recipe crumb topping (below)
1/2cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup caramel topping

Ingredients for Crumb Topping:

1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup quick cooking rolled oats
1/2 cup butter

Directions for Crumb Topping:

Stir together brown sugar, flour, rolled oats
Cut in 1/2 cup butter until topping is like course crumbs. Set aside.

Directions:

In a large mixing bowl, stir together the sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt
Add apple slices and gently toss until coated.
Transfer apple mixture to the pie shell
Sprinkle crumb topping over apple mixture
Place pie on a cookie sheet so the drippings don’t drop into your oven.
Cover edges of pie with aluminum foil
Bake in a preheated 375 oven for 25 minutes. Then remove foil and put back in for another25-30 minutes without foil
Remove from oven. Sprinkle pie with chopped pecans then drizzle with caramel on top.

Yum! These are always the 2 favorite things I look forward to at Thanksgiving.

What are your favorite Thanksgiving foods?

My Day: A play by play…

November 18, 2008 By Cindy 5 Comments

Here’s a glimpse into my everyday, glamorous life. J

Monday, November 17^th:

6:05 Get up and take shower

6:20 B up and ready for “snack”- Fruity Cheerios, strawberries and milk.
I make lunches- I usually do this the night before and made a mental note to not put this task off until morning again!!

6:50 Wake D3 up- I never have to wake this child up, but he was sleeping hard!
I dress him, since we’re running short on time now.

7:00 D3 eats Fruity Cheerios and milk
I dress B & myself- do my hair

7:20 Out of the door- with our umpteen bags. Borrowing Dan’s car today (we left the baby’s car seat in there yesterday and it’s a pain to move. )

Dan has so much school stuff in the back seat D3 can hardly get in the car

7:23 Start throwing all of Dan’s stuff out of the car, pitching a fit. J

7:35    Drop D3 off at school
    B and I start to make our way to preschool.
    Call Dan to tell him that I love him…. and that he’s messy.

B was not too thrilled that I wanted his picture riding in the car on the way to school.

8:00 Arrive at preschool. Clock in and get ready for the kiddos.

8:30 Staff Devotion

8:45 Kids arrive. Playdough, Chapel, Program practice, Playground, Snack, Circle Time, paint Thanksgiving T-shirts, make Thankful Turkeys, play in sensory box, Lunch, Music…

1:15 Clock out and start drive home.

1:40 Arrive home- B fell asleep on way home- put him in crib.
Check email/blogs

2:20 Head out to pick up D3 from school. Have to get B out of his crib still sleeping. L I don’t like doing this, but luckily he stayed asleep until D3 got in the car. I read some in my book while waiting in the carpool line- makes the time go by faster!
