fall recipes

so....i'm a little distracted today and thought i'd share some of my favorite recipes. well, one is a new one that i just tried. the other 3 are fall favorites around here:)

Smudgies
1 c. sugar
1 c. light corn syrup
1 c. peanut butter
6 c. rice krispies
1 c. chocolate chips
1 c. butterscotch chips

Mix sugar and corn syrup to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter. Add cereal and press in greased 9x13 pan. Melt chips together over low heat. Spread over bars. Cool until firm.

Friends - when my mom would send these to me at college i had to hide them from people. well, i did share some:) I like to double the chips and make a thicker topping!

Peppered Beef (just made last night - for the first time)
1 rump roast (3lb or so)
2 Tbsp parsely
1 Tbsp oregano
2 tsp basil, pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
16oz mild pepper rings with juice (use vlasic)

Place roast in crockpot. Dump on dry ingredients. Add the peppers and juice. Cook on low for 8 hours or longer. I served it shredded over rice and in tortillas. I think it would be yummy on flatbread with melted provolone or mozzarella cheese too! Everyone liked it here and it is super easy!

Maple Pork Chops
Salt and Coat 4 pork chops with flour
Melt 1 Tbsp butter in skillet. Cook coated pork 2-3 minutes on each side. In another bowl, combine 2 Tbsp melted butter, 1/4 c. honey (can use brown sugar just add some water to make it syrupy) and 1/4c. crushed pecans. Pour over the pork chops and simmer, covered for 7-8 minutes.

I like to double the syrup and serve the extra over rice. everyone loves this and it is easy but looks fancy shmancy!!

Applesauce Pork Roast
I use some kind of pork roast that fits my crockpot - whatever is on sale

Combine: 2 tbsp flour, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp sugar 1/8 tsp pepper and 1 tsp mustard. Rub this on the roast and place in crockpot.

Cook on low 6-8 hours. If frozen cook on high for 4 hours then turn to low.

Combine 1 c. applesauce, 1/3 c. brown sugar 2 tsp. vinegar (i like applecider vinegar) and 1/4 tsp. cloves. Pour this over the roast atleast 2 hours before serving.

The best is leftovers - shred and warm with bbq sauce. this is the best pulled pork bbq sandwiches EVER!!!!

When I make this we eat the roast, a few days later eat it as bbq, then i can freeze the rest of the bbq for a quick meal at a later time!

enjoy friends.....

me, on politics

i despise politics. i never liked it, but i married a man fascinated with it. a man who wanted to be part of it all...and was, briefly. boy were our eyes opened... anyways...it seems like this election has several hot button topics. one of which is universal healthcare. my cousin started a blog called politics for mom and there have been several heated debates going on. i was reading several comments on healthcare. and frankly i was bothered! now, i don't know that a strict universal healthcare is the answer, but i do know that we have now doesn't work for the average person. here is our story.... hubby worked in a small business - 3 employees at the most that i can remember. we paid 1/2 our insurance..until it came to the point where our half each month was twice what we would pay if we were on our own. but for the owner it saved him money. so he agreed to cover ours in full. we were very grateful. i also know at times, that because of the healthcare cost, it was a struggle f...

the "calling"

okay - so it's been awhile since i've ranted...and it's time! it is beautiful outside and i'm sitting inside my makeshift office at the church. i am lucky enough to have a door that opens to the outside so it is wide open and i'm loving that. but as i'm working here today i feel the need to rant so enjoy.... being in my position i often have to ask people to help out. you know, volunteer to teach or work in the nursery or teach or hang out with the kids, you know - volunteer! i love all the responses i get. i am particularly fond of the "i don't like kids one" - it doesn't go over real well with me when they have 3 of their own. hmm??? but the one that really gets my goat is the "i don't feel called to that." argh...really!?!?!!?!? well, i didn't feel called to wipe my kids bottoms either, but it is a good thing i did it anyways. surprisingly, everyone feels called to the waterpark though! now, let me back up a ...
