Happy Birthday MOMO!!! mommaftiz

Snowmom, just type in www.topsecretrecipes.com and see if that works............... mommafitz

Goosie, you're in my thoughts. Try to concentrate on taking better care of yourself. Have some fresh fruit around to munch on instead of junk. You probably don't have an appetite anyway and fruit will give you some much needed vitamins. Taking a walk often will not only clear your head but help with your body's circulation. Those are two things that are simple yet productive. You're in my thoughts and prayers, mommafitz

Good morning! It's raining outside and still dark. The sun is supposed to make an appearance later today.

I have the keys! mommafitz

Rain is predicted today and the wind sounds terrible outside! Good mornin'! Snowmom,where are you? Did you party too hard on Saturday? You didn't post yesterday. *pout* I couldn't get everything done yesterday that I planned. I wasn't surprised. Oh well. We'll see what today brings. I have an appointment this morning then I hope to pick up the key to the new rental house. If I can't meet them today, that'll be okay too. It's not like I don't have plenty to do!

I don't have the foggiest idea!!!! mommafitz

CHEDDAR BISCUITS 2 cups Bisquick 1 cup buttermilk 1/2 cup sharp Cheddar cheese Mix and form biscuits.Bake at 400 until golden brown. Melt 1/4 cup butter. Add 1/2 tsp garlic powder. Brush misxture on top of baked bread.

This is handy to have when you are in the middle of cooking and find out you're out of evaporated milk. EVAPORATED MILK SUBSTITUTE 7/8 cup 2% milk 1/4 to 1/3 cup powdered milk After combining this thoroughly, you should have equivalent to 1 cup of evaporated milk.

CORNMEAL HONEY BISCUITS 1 3/4 cups Bisquick 1/2 Cup cornmeal 1/2 Cup milk 2 tablespoons honey Combine all ingredients. When thoroughly blended, knead slightly. Roll to 1/2 inch thick. Bake in preheated 475 oven on ungreased cookie sheet for 8-10 minutes.

I hope everyone is doing okey dokey this morning.

Just poppin' in for a quick post this morning. I am getting ready to go to work. We're supposed to get upper 50s today with sun. Hmmmmmmm........we'll see.

They might be found at Lowe's. That's the place I go when I'm looking for gardening stuff. We really don't have anywhere else locally unless its Walmart or Kmart. mommafitz

Good cold mornin to ya! It's a bit nippy here in Tn. We're supposed to see 60 on Sunday. Then rain moves in on Monday and Tuesday. Perfect Tennessee Spring weather.

Now I'm whining! What a time for my printer to run out of ink!!!!

Thank you for the invite Dee. Can I bring the family AND the hamsters? mommafitz

Girl, I can feel where you are. I've been so low for a while now . This past week has been really, really bad. I cry a lot. I have a terrible head cold and it makes me feel bad anyway. I'm a mess, too. I am not on medication and I don't plan on it. I probably need it but we have no medical insurance and no spare money. I have to deal with it on my own. It does help to talk. If there's anything I can do, let me know. I think Spring will help me a lot. How about you? Take care, Sister, mommafitz

Cut in the peanut butter until crumbly. Combine the egg, milk, and vanilla; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Transfer to a greased 9x5x3 loaf pan. Bake at 350 for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes bfore removing from pan to a wire rack.

This recipe is delicious even if broccoli is not your favorite veggie. My kids will eat this but they don't like broccoli. And , best of all, it's simple! Broccoli Casserole 2 pkgs finely chopped broccoli 1 can cream of mushroom soup 1 egg, slightly beaten 1 cup grated cheddar cheese 1/2 cup mayo 1/4 cup melted butter 1 small onion, finely chopped 1/2 package herbal stuffing mix Cook broccoli slightly less than package instructions. Mix broccoli,egg, mayo, onion, soup, and cheese in a greased 2 qt casserole. Mix stuffing with melted butter and sprinkle over broccoli. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

This uses Jello! This was the cake my son requested for his birthday last weekend. Yummy, dude! Refrigerator Sheet Cake 1 box cake mix, yellow or white 1 small box jello 1 1/2 cups cold milk 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 package Dream Whip 1 small box vanilla instant pudding Mix jello with 3/4 cup boiling water and 1/2 cup cold water. Set aside and bake cake according to package directions in a 13x9 sheet pan. Let cake cool. Make holes in cake and pour jello in the holes. Beat dream whip, pudding, vanillam and milk until light in fluffy. Spread on cake then put in refrigerator.

Okay cat, quit crying! I'll see what I can come up with. I have my Recipe Book in front of me. I know I already shared the best cornbread recipe around-Tennessee CornBread. Didja get that one? Then Alice Springs Chicken from the other day. Yum! I can't remember what I've posted in the past so I apologize if there are any repeats. Gotta take care of crying cat. Hate to see a grown cat whine. mommafitz

Good wet, snowy morning! The snowflakes are falling and are absolutely beautiful. Temp is 32 F at my house. I have brewed my coffee, made a pitcher of iced tea for today, fed the pets, started the dishwasher, and have 2 pots of beans cooking. The pintos will be used for chili for the weekend and the Great Northerns will be used for tonight's supper. Yum! Schools are canceled and so is General Sessions Court. That means 17 yo ds is still in bed and poor, ol' hubby won't have to be at court today. He says thats one of the worse parts of his job. Today is his day off and now he can lounge around and enjoy it. We still can't agree on names for the hamsters. I really got a kick out of reading yesterdays posts. How about we keep at it today? I like Ding and Dang. I'll try Fuzzy and Wuzzy out on the family today. Hubby says a friend at work recently got 2 dachshund puppies and she named them Briar and Patch. Wasn't that cool?

I've had fun with this the past couple of days. The idea of putting something together that is special for someone else is a wonderful break and a stress reliever during these trying times in my insignificant life. I'm glad I decided to play. I hope everyone has a good time with this. mommafitz

We are now under a winter storm watch. We could get anywhere from 1 to 6 inches of snow. Now that's what I call covering their tails! Gonna be hard to miss this one, huh?
