If you Like Hometown Buffet

Limit 2 adult dinners with coupon.
Expires 10-15-10.
I also saw that when you sign up for

age.

Dirty Oven Racks? Try this hint to get them clean!
.
To easily clean oven racks, place the racks together in an extra large garbage bag. Spray oven cleaner inside the bag. Close tightly, and allow it to sit. After an hour (or even overnight), remove the racks from the bag and wipe clean. No scrubbing.

10:30AM


3 days later and I am finally able
to get my 10 lbs of chicken in the crock pots!
It took that long to thaw out.
I still have 60 more pounds of chicken
in the freezer!!
I'll cook up 10 pounds at a time in the crocks
then put cooked chicken into zip bags and put
back into the freezer.
This makes my life so much easier when
it comes to making meals by having
the chicken cooked ahead of time!

Also hidden in my freezer is a 20+ pound turkey
I bought last November.
Each year I usually buy an extra turkey when on sale
since I am usually the one who has Thanksgiving at our house.
That way should I not be able to afford a turkey for the upcoming year I know I have one tucked away in the freezer!
I always like to think ahead when possible
even if that means a year ahead!
A turkey will last up to a year if
frozen immediately after purchasing!

I see Nestle Tollhouse is having a contest
for creating a spooky Halloween cookie

from their chocolate chip cookie dough.
The prize is $2,500!
It has to be an original design
and be easy enough for a 3-12 year old child to make.
So I'm gonna try to think something up for this
because who knows, lol.
But what the heck can you make out
of chocolate chip cookies??
HMMMM!
I have an idea for a sugar cookie
but not chocolate chip!
Chocolate chip cookies spread out on the pan
so this one will be fun!

ohhh I got an idea for one!
Ain't saying til I make and submit it though!

The entries, which can be viewed online,
don't look like much yet. They eyeball cookies
look cute but can a 3 year old do it?
probably not!

-----------------------------

Then I think I might have a recipe
to enter into a Taste Of Home's contest

Out-of-the-Box Desserts

Send us your best dessert fixes made with mixes, and you could win $500!

It never hurts to enter recipe contests!
That's coming from someone who is a
regular baker and has won a couple!

-------------------------------------

11:30AM

Tummy is growling!
What to have? Taking a peek into freezer.
Found some leftover breakfast casserole
that I'll warm in the microwave.
Topping with some Franks Red Hot sauce!
That $#!%'$ good on everything!
I get a kick out of that radio commercial
every time I hear it!

MAIL CALL

Free Quaker Life Banana Bread Bar
with $1.00 coupon.
&
Free coupon good for Cottonelle Wipes.

---------------------------------

Well if this weekend stays nice like
the weather man says it's going to then
we might start weatherproofing the fence.

--------------------------------

Just back from Kroger.
I got some stuff to make cookies
and some items to make a recipe for the boxed dessert contest.

What to do?
I have about 5 ideas for the cookie contest
and you can only submit one!
How do I narrow it down to one?
$2500 is a stake here y'all
and I can't decide which one to make
and enter!
