It is Thursday!!!

Just one week till Thanksgiving! I can't wait ! Looking forward to great food and all the family being together. Remembering the days of my youth when my Grandmothers and Uncle George would come to dinner. My Mother would have a gorgeous table set with lots of wonderful food. After dinner everyone would have dessert and coffee. Aww, what sweet memories! I miss those days. Now that my children have grown I keep the same traditions in my home. I still prepare food just as my Mother did and make the her Orange Cake and Cranberry Relish. Those are two of my favorite holiday dishes!

A few years back we had an old fashion Thanksgiving in Pocahontas County at Cass, WV. My Son rented a renovated Cass house and my brother, sis in law, my husband and I took all the food. It had a beautiful old fashion wooden table. We filled it up with the yummiest food anyone could ever want!

Please feel free to share you holiday memories!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Scratch Cooking!

Why does no one bake from scratch anymore? I do ...but if you read what everyone is looking for in the cooking world they start out with Quick and Easy! That is great, but you can do quick and easy without using store bought products! I can take one sweet dough recipe and make several different desserts and pastries. If you are in a bind and can't make the homemade bread and doughs then Pillsbury has some great quick doughs you can use. Betty Crocker for some yummy Cakes and Cupcakes! Just open some doors up for "Scratch Baking" also. Try to think of how many thing you can make out of your favorite scratch recipe.
