Thanksgiving Recipes

Y'all are making us hungry!!

 

Betwixt Chris' brined turkey, the stuffing and now some bread....mmmmmmmmmm

 

Chris, I'm going w/ Emeril's brine 'cuz it's easier and I've got a thousand

things going on but your recipe is going in my cook's file. It's a keeper.

 

Now I am not the world's most original cook BUT I can adapt recipes and twist

'em 'til I like what I have (hence my yearn for making soap).

 

Here is an old favorite of ours. Make the cream cheese mint mixture in the

recipe below EXCEPT....use only 1/2 box of confectioner's sugar and play w/ the

amount of peppermint you think you'd like. Fold the mixture while it's very

warm and a little more firm than gooey into your own chocolate chip cookie dough

(standard 4 dozen cookie dough batch - you'll end up with about 6 dozen cookies

instead).

 

A couple of my kids don't have sophisticated palettes so chocalate cheese cake

and a lot of other holiday baked goodies do not go over well. I saw this and

made it as plain white Valentine's Candy - the original version calls for red

dye. Then the following Christmas I decided to combine it with my chocolate

chip cookies. I made this a kid's version of a chocolate cheese cake and the

peppermint is actually a really nice after dinner touch. Sort of like mint

chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream without the brain freeze!!

All the recipes you all are sending out is making me very hungry so very

late at night. YUM!!!

LOL. I would like to ask if any of you have a Cream Cheese Fudge recipe

that came out late in the '70's. I LOVED it. Cream cheese is one of my

favorites. This recipe didn't have to be cooked, just whipped together. In

all the moves during the years I have lost it. But I still can taste it. I

just can't remember all the ingrediants.

Thank you so much for all your help and good recipes.

Karen S.
