I'm saving this recipe because I haven't found another quite as tasty, yet so easy. I often just use all the bulk pork sausage.

 I’m not sure how I feel about some of the analyses and predictions coming in, anticipating the first six months of the new administration. At one point, I might have said that these predictions were the insane ravings of a lunatic mind that had smoked too much weed and chased it down with rotgut. Now I’m not so sure. Here’s why some are possible, and some are not. You will note I put in links to information on certain subjects for further review by those who were not informed of these developments. 1.       The president-elect is a very lazy man. He doesn’t want to read briefs every morning when he shows up in the office. He wants the absolute minimum spoon fed to him with just enough data for him to make a snap judgement so he can hurry off to his golf game or rage tweet over his KFC 2pc and a biscuit meal. This was a habit of his from his last time in office, and I see no reason to think he has changed his ways, since he golfed often even while running...

  Cold Tangy Carrots My partner Dave swears this is a recipe from his youth, and despite the disparate nature of the ingredients, he swears it's delicious.  Notes: Sources: Joys of Jacksonville by the Navy Supply Corps Officer's Wive's Club.

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/egxTwMTKPyvnGjKA/?mibextid=xfxF2i   Special Seafood Chowder is an easy slow cooker meal. Remember! Don't add the half-n-half until you're almost ready to serve or it will "break" and look nasty. 

Frankly, I've never made the Creamy Cucumbers. I went straight to the Marinated Cucumbers because it's basically a refrigerated pickle and works with many vegetables. 

Bias Tape- Love it or hate it, you have to have it when you quilt or sew. Well-meaning friends often give a quilter/sewer lots of scrap fabric, whether it's suitable for quilting or not. I have received bags full of absolutely stunning high-quality wedding silks, a footlocker full of grandma's table linens, and an entire 18-gallon tote of upholstery fabric. Then again, I also have my own Mount Scrapmore. I can't bear to throw away anything larger than 2-1/2" wide. It's still useful.  I confess I hated making bias tape. That was one of the reasons I stopped quilting. I always screwed up the angles making bias tape until Dave found this method below. Within a day, I was zooming through my scraps making all the bias tape out of all the 2-1/2" strips I'd been holding onto for years. If my cats hadn't practiced their interference mastery skills by laying all into my piles (sorted by color) I probably would have been falling asleep at the sewing machine.    ...

Stop paying high prices and wasting your spices by not using the whole bottle.

You hardly need more instruction than this. Impossible Pies really do seem like a miracle, making their own crust.  Notes:  I personally love coconut and don't just "sprinkle a little" on top. My coconut fills the pie pan before the filling goes in! I serve this pie cool in summer and warm in winter.  If your pie isn't completely set after 40 minutes, turn off the oven but don't remove the pie. Let coast to its final destination in the cooling oven. The pie is done when it doesn't jiggle in the center.  Disclaimer: I am not a chef, nor a licensed food service professional of any kind.

  Any Fruit Bread (Apple Butter Bread Reimagined) Use apple butter or any other jam, jelly, or  preserves! This bread's flavor changes with each jam/jelly used. I personally make the small because it does indeed have a high rise. Play it safe the first time and make a size smaller than you normally would.  Sources: The Bread Machine Cookbook by Donna Rathmell German ISBN 1-55867-025-4 ************************ Disclaimer: I am not a chef, nor a licensed food service professional of any kind.

Hoppin' John   A classic American dish from the Deep South, this was commonly served at my family home on New Year's Day. It's a superstition (or a way for Mom to get us to eat black-eyed peas) that the more black-eyed peas you eat on New Year's Day, the more money you'll get in the coming year. Serve with a side of cornbread because it's gold and also brings wealth. Besides, it soaks up the juice from the beans.  Notes: 1. This is a crock pot recipe but starts in a skillet. It's worth the extra trouble to collect those lovely brown bits. If Mama celebrated a bit too much the night before, this recipe won't strain her brain too much.  2. I don't add the crab meat because I'm allergic. I'd love to hear from someone else how they felt it tasted.  3. For the dirty rice mix, I used Zatarain's, but Tony Chachere's or any other brand would work.  Disclaimer: I am not a chef, nor a licensed food service professional of any kind. I'...

  Corn Pudding Please don't expect a "corny" corn pudding that's more savory than sweet. This recipe is almost dessert-like. In fact, I dare say it could be treated as a dessert for those who aren't fond of gooey, sugar-laden pies, cakes and cookies at this time of year. However, I treat this as a side dish.  Sources: McCormick recipe card ************************ Disclaimer: I am not a chef, nor a licensed food service professional of any kind.

  Bowl Full of Cherry Ham Glaze Let's make this clear. I believe my readers are smart enough to look on the internet or the package directions, do the basic math on how many minutes per pound, and can turn on an oven all by themselves. The trick is knowing how to elevate the ham beyond a brown sugar glaze and some whole cloves stuck in the skin. That's why this is just a glaze.  Sources: allrecipes.com ************************ Disclaimer: I am not a chef, nor a licensed food service professional of any kind.
