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...

from the kitchen...

chicken bruschetta bake if you know me, you know my great distaste of tomatoes. i usually pick the tomato chunks out of my sgetti sauce. yes i just called it sgetti!! i eat all the chunks of my salsa, except the tomatoes. but over the past few years i've gotten a bit brave and will eat small pieces of tomatoes in fresh salsa and in this dish as well. i hadn't fixed this in probably over a year. but a few weeks ago i pulled out my recipe file to find some old favorites. i found this and realized i had everything in the pantry. that's a deal!!!!! i did have to switch out the diced tomatoes because my can was crushed instead. i prefer the diced but this worked just as well. the kids loved the chicken, but not so much the topping. this was great as leftovers, too. i ate it for lunch the following two days. 1 can. (12.5oz) diced tomatoes, undrained 1 pkg. stove top stuffing mix for chicken (i use aldi brand) 1/2 cup water 2 cloves garlic, minced 1.5 pounds skinless...

life with izzie b

so i'm out of town right now and this time with my friend izzie b (names have been changed to protect the people we know). we are actually at a conference that is rocking my world, but we are two crazy girls alone in a big city. anyways.....she is a weird person. she likes car rides and she likes to watch the sunrise while riding in the car so we started our trip at 5:30 AM!!! 5:30 AM friends...ugh. but we had a non-eventful trip and honestly it wasn't so bad. i'm weird so i had packed us ham and cheese sandwichs. we stopped several times to get out and walk. we stopped for gas somewhere a bit redneck and they sold mostly fireworks. lots and lots of fireworks. that place also had some kind of super duper blue light hand dryer. it was honestly a bit freaky. then we checked in and found we had a smoking room. it was quite smoky and so we asked for a change. no luck, but the nice lady offered to bring up an odor remover machine while we were at the conference. um....
