Scrumptious Biscuits

We had these today and they were delicious!  Great biscuits for the holidays, for all your dinner gatherings!  Pumpkin Parmesan Biscuits....

Cardboard Art

I saw this in a furniture store on a wall, except of course it was perfectly done with precision.  My "artwork" is not perfect by far, but it was fun framing our wall opening from our den to our kitchen with painted pieces of cardboard, and fabric covered ones, too, to match our decor, adhered with upholstery tacks!

Spaghetti Squash Dinner

Tonight we had spaghetti squash, topped with a mixture of grilled onions, black beans, fresh salsa and cubed avacado.  It was very tasty, and healthy!

Just cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise (scoop out the seeds and goop) and place cut side down on a microwave - safe plate, cook for 18 minutes.  Meanwhile, cook 1 medium onion until tender, add the beans and salsa to heat through.  Top with the fresh avacado, and place the whole mixture atop the spaghetti you've scooped out of the squash.  Enjoy...

Christmas Scene (edible!)

Another fun thing to make for the holidays uses Ranch dressing (in a jar), pretzel sticks, cucumbers and zucchini.

This looks pretty on a small rectangular tray.

Spread the Ranch dressing and pile it up like "snow." Slice the cucumbers and zucchini so that they look like trees, and cut the bottom so that it will stand up straight. Pile up the "logs" on the sides, and you've got your edible Christmas scene!

Appetizer Wreath

This was so fun to make and came out so pretty. I saw it in a magazine and tweaked it a bit to use what I could find.

Line a round dish with fresh rosemary sprigs, and cut out circles from a red pepper to use as berries on your "wreath."  Inside the wreath, roll up thin deli ham, lay out a pile of little turkey sausages, cubes of two kinds of cheese, olives, and a small bowl of almonds in the center.  What a festive dish!

Finger Puppets

These little finger puppets sold like hotcakes at a market today where we helped raise funds to stop sex trafficking.  And you can order them online!  They are so cute! 5 bucks each!

Hot Dog!

Have you seen these retro hotdog toasters?  You can order online, or find them at your nearest Big Lots.  What a fun surprise gift to place under the tree for pretty much anyone!
