Christmas Countdown - 2015

[snowflake22]

YUM!!!! They both sound good. I LOVE stuffed mushrooms! Thanks for sharing! Here are the 2 recipes I make. I normally make the 2nd one - I like it a little better!


Stuffed Mushrooms
12-16 oz. fresh mushrooms (large)
3 Tbsp. butter
¾ tsp. Worcestershire sauce
Salt & Pepper to taste
2 Tblsp. Water (or red wine)
¾ C. soft bread crumbs (3 slices w/ crust removed – break up w/ a fork)
3 green onion, minced
¾ C. sharp shredded cheddar cheese lightly packed


Wash mushrooms under cold water. Pull stems & chop stems. Melt butter in skillet

Over medium-low heat. Add stems & onions. Sauté until tender. Stir in Worch. Sauce, bread crumbs, cheese, salt, & pepper. Fill mushroom caps, mounding over the top. Put 2 Tbsp. water (or wine) in a 9 X 13 pan & add stuffed mushrooms. Bake at 350º for 20 minutes.

This is my favorite:

Cheesy Stuffed Mushrooms
20 to 25 lg. white mushrooms, with stems
2 T. butter
8 oz. pkg. cheddar cheese, shredded
8 oz. pkg. cream cheese
garlic salt to taste
onion salt to taste
paprika to taste
Carefully remove mushroom stems. Dice stems, sauté them in butter until tender. Set aside to cool. Mix together Cheddar cheese & cream cheese unti whipped. Season with garlic salt, onion salt & fold in the stems. Stuff mushrooms & place on a cookie sheet. Sprinkle tops w;ith additional shredded cheese & paprika. Bake at 325 degrees for 15 to 20 minutse or unti cheese is melted. Serve warm. Makes 20 to 25.
*I also add crumbled bacon bits, diced onion, garlic or garlic powder/salt & a seasoning salt.

YUM! Thank you for sharing, Holiday!

A very merry Monday to everyone! It is afternoon here already and I should get busy preparing the classes I have to teach tomorrow. But I couldn't do it before smelling just a bit of Christmas spirit on here.

Thanks Meceka! Prayers are always appreciated! I'm glad things are going well for you! Gracie seems to be doing fine!! I guess we take it day by day & pray she continues to do well! She's such a (ornery) sweetie!
My niece is looking for someone to snuggle with baby Kate Thursday morning so she can go with her oldest to his school open house. I wish I didn't have to work that day, I would love that job. LOL!
Here is a picture of Kate with her siblings...you can tell by the look on Addy's face what she thinks of her new baby sister.

What a sweet picture!

Thank you, I am sure they will. The school year has just started and I started working at a new school this year as well so I am motivated to do a good job.

I hope you're having a merry day too! All the best

Good afternoon, MMC!
Hope you're enjoying your Saturday!
Adi & I are off to drop my car off to be diagnosed, wish us luck.
Then, we are going to grab some lunch and go grocery shopping.
Ken will be staying in the hospital through the weekend, nothing new to report except they're changing some of his meds again and want to monitor him closely. Thank you for the prayers and messages. I am grateful for my Christmas friends!
Have a blessed day~

Good evening, friends! Just realized the last time I've really checked in was Thursday morning. Since then, I've worked a 12 hour shift everyday. Today I actually worked 13.5 hours. It looks like I'll probably be working at least 12 hours again tomorrow. It's supposed to be my day off, but I'll be staying until at least 11 am. I wanted to at least stop in and say hi and say I'm thinking of you all!

Talk to you all soon - prayers for you all too!

Hope you have a less busy & a good week sugar!

Hey everybody!

Dang, it's been a while since I have been here. The first week of school was smooth, but busy. Week 2 doesn't look to offer much of a slow down. That's ok, I'm just waiting for the last full week of August to get here so we can get to the "Ber" months. It's coming, y'all, it coming!!!!!!!

Happy Monday Coach!

Good Morning ... Well we have been trying to sell our house for a long while now and its seems its finally going to happen. The contract to purchase our house has been signed and we negotiated and agreed on a purchase price on our next house. Those contacts should be signed tomorrow and it looks like we will be moving mid Oct. The down side is that we will not be able to decorate much for halloween but I do plan on decorating big for Thanksgiving and even bigger for Christmas. The new house has an awesome porch and roof line that is perfect for decorating. We bought a bunch of the C7 bulb light sets last year after Christmas and I can not wait until we can decorate that roof line with them. Another bright side is that during the next month we will be going through everything, purging and reorganizing so that will make it easier to find all the holiday decorations The kitchen is so much bigger and opens right into the family room. That will be great when it comes time to bake Christmas cookies. I think the new house will be a really good reason to buy another tree or 2. I would love to buy a real tree to place on that porch and decorate. I am sooo excited ... I feel like this is a dream. I so ca not wait until we sign those papers and can move in.

Well I guess its a good thing I am behind in my Christmas gift shopping this year. That will be less stuff to move LOL. Well I gotta get ready to head out in a bit. Hubby is playing softball this morning. Have a great day!

Congratulations! How exciting!! I hope you'll be posting pics of your decorations in your new home. And yes, a new tree or 2 is in order!

Thank you, Holiday!
All has been resolved, fingers crossed it stays that way

Hope you had a wonderful weekend, friend!

Good Sunday morning, my Christmas friends!

I haven't been here since Thursday...I was having withdrawals!

My brother had surgery to remove his gall bladder on Friday. Normally it's a routine surgery, but since he has one of my kidneys, and it's in the front instead of the back, the surgery took longer than expected. We were at the hospital all day, but everything went fine. He came home Saturday morning, and even went by his shop for a little while. LOL

I worked all day yesterday on my part-time business, and the heat almost got me! But, I got it done, so I should be caught up for a week or so.

Now it's time to rouse the family for church. I hope y'all have a great day!

Prayers for a speedy recovery for your brother! I'm happy to hear surgery went well! xx

Good morning everyone, Happy Sunday!
It smells so good in here, I just finished frying a batch of meatballs and I already have a pot of sauce simmering on the stove. I'm making baked rigatoni for dinner.
My parents have been in Pennsylvania all week and are coming home today so I'm going to visit them this afternoon. Not too much else going on, should be a relaxing day!
I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!

You always have something good cooking at your house!! Hope it was yummy!
