Oven temp: 375 Time: depends First of all, let me say that I have a lot of Thanksgiving or holiday recipes on here including a crockpot bread pudding as well. If you are looking for something else to fill out your menu, give a look see on here. Today I am doing a simple maple apple bread pudding we have liked through the years. It bakes in an hour give or take and is quick to throw together. You probably already have all the ingredients right in your pantry and fridge. Top it

Oven 400 Time: size of potato matters It's no secret, I love potatoes, in all shapes and sizes, fixed any way, sweet, white, purple, and so on. One favorite way is a good ol baked potato, topped with a sauce, sour cream, butter, gravy, you name it, I've probably done it.

I don't post a lot of salads, I feel they are personal, meaning subject to you and your families likes or dislikes. It is a gimme that someone will not like something in the salad, there is always that

This recipe/post is for some of my vegetarians I have on my blog, as well as the rest of us! It is no secret I am not a fan of kidney beans, dark or light. Therefore, you will not see them in any of my recipes. However, if you are, any bean is interchangeable in any recipe. My favorite are chic peas, cannellini, and a black bean now and then is fine. I am a huge fan of beans cooked from scratch, because, I am lucky enough to have the time. I do, however, keep a few cans on ha

Once again, I first off need to say, thank you to several more new joiners in the last few days to my blog. It is a simple blog, for fun, no ads, no videos, and hopefully easy to follow instructions, that's about as technical as we get at my house. Welcome! Today I am blogging a simple idea, a blast from my past as they say. I may have mentioned this in the past or not, but when my kids were little they were brought up with a mother who was always on a diet, yup and still am
