Whipped Potatoes tips

They seem like the easiest things to prepare and really they are, but here are a few tips to making some of the best:
1. use half red potatoes, half russet potatoes and add some salt to the water before you boil the potatoes.
2. don't cut them too small or over cook. They will get mushy with too much water in them. This will also deplete much of the vitamin benefits of the potato.
3. pour into a colander to drain off the water.
4. while the water is draining, warm the milk butter and some sour cream in the pan you cooked the potatoes in.
5. place cooked potatoes back to the pan and add salt and pepper.
6. smash with a potato smasher and then use a hand mixer to fluff.
Voila'!!
(no need for instant potatoes)

Whole wheat pancakes with homemade blueberry syrup

I came across this recent photo and hoping we have what I need to make this our breakfast in the morning. yes, that's whip cream and cin/sugar on top!!

Love the way this house is smelling

Peanut brittle and Pumpkin cream cheese logs sure have a way of making things smell like Thanksgiving.
I should have taken pictures. I have 4 rolls and several bags of brittle ready to go for the Christmas open house at the market tomorrow.
I'm off to get the kids now...things are about to get interesting. Steve will be home late tonight so I think we will pop some corn and order pizza in front of a movie until he gets home.

Cookies for Pandra

Pumpkin nut bars before they are cut.

This morning I have been busy mixing up some really special cookies and Pumpkin nut bars. I'm delivering them to Charlotte in Cabot this afternoon. My gift to her...She is going down to meet Pandra for the MS State vs Razorbacks game in Starkville this weekend.

Pandra is my sweet friend who has just finished her last Chemo and is starting to feel better after a very long drawn out ordeal with moving from HI to GA in the midst of learning about her breast cancer, and having to go through a mastectomy. I think of Pandra everyday and pray that she gets better and better. She isn't 100% yet but is so lucky to have wonderful friends like Charlotte.
