Hey everyone
Stephanie here. I am getting really excited about thanksgiving this year.  I am going to have a house full this year.  Just what I need to help me get back on the right track after all the bad stuff that has happened the last few years.

So I am going to share some of my favorite thanksgiving recipes over the next few day.

I got this recipe a few years back at a recipe exchange party and it has become a holiday favorite for my boys.

2 packages 1  3oz   1  8 oz creamed cheese cubed (I use fat free)

Tasty Tuesday ( Pizza Pasta Salad)

It is starting to get warm here in Indiana. For my family that means we grill out a lot and eat more salads . This morning I made up a pizza pasta salad that I think you will enjoy. It is simple to make but has a great flavor to it. The best part is that you will have these ingredients already on hand.

Pizza Pasta Salad

1 box pasta ( you can use any shape you want, I used bow tie pasta)
1 bottle zesty Italian dressing ( I used Kraft)
2 large tomatoes or container of cherry tomatoes -cut
2 pkgs of pepperoni- cut into small pieces
1 1/2 tsp of Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp of garlic salt
1/2 tsp of parsley flakes
2 cups mozzarella cheese
Parmesan cheese ( use as much as you like)

Cook and drain pasta. Add remaining ingredients and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Optional- add green onions, olives, salami, etc.

Roasted Carrots

My mom made these for Easter and they were really good!


Roasted Carrots

2 pds carrots, peeled and sliced
olive oil
garlic powder
parmesean cheese

Lay cut carrots out flat on cookie sheet. Drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with garlic powder and parmesean cheese. Mix well. Spread flat again. Bake at 350 for 1 hour.

Corn Casserole

I have my mother in law bring this dish to all of our holiday dinners. It is so good and easy to make. I hope you and your family enjoy!


Corn Casserole

1 can reg kernal corn
1 can CREAMED corn
1 box jiffy Corn Bread Mix
1 egg
some butter ( calls for 1 stick -  we generally only take a walnut size scoop of soft butter and add)
opt.  8 ounces.sour cream

Bake 350 - 375 degrees.  Depending on your oven.
Check at 45 minutes, usually takes  one hour.

Cheesy Green Bean Casserole

Here is another side dish that I think your family will enjoy. Again it would be great to make for the holidays but simple enough to make for an every day meal.

Cheesy Green Bean Casserole

2 pkg (16oz each) frozen green beans, thawed
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1/2 pd velveeta, cubed
1 1/2 cups hot water

Add water to butter in a medium bowl, stir until melted. Stir in stuffing mix just until moistened. Spoon over bean mixture.

Thrifty Thursday ( Zucchini Bites) A Day late

Zucchini Bites

1 cups zucchini, grated
1 egg
1/4 yellow onion, diced

1/4 cup cheese (cheddar or Parmesan work the best)
1/4 cup bread crumbs - I used Italian style
Salt and Pepper

1. Preheat oven to 400F. Spray a mini-muffin tin with non-stick spray, set aside.
2. Grate the zucchini and then place in a dish towel to squeeze out the excess water- like when using frozen spinach; if you skip this part, the middle of the zucchini tots will be really soggy while the outside gets crispy and no one wants that.
3. In a bowl combine, the egg, onion, cheese, bread crumbs, zucchini, salt and pepper.
4. Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, fill the muffin cups to the top. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the top is browned and set.

Makes 12 muffins

Sorry it is so late. My computer has been acting up . These were really good. My 4 year old loved them!
