Thanksgiving food Turkey

We have done a deep fried turkey for years now.  This will be the first time my boyfriend and his family have one.  I make mine very simple rinse the turkey and pat dry then I use a recipe I got off Paula Deans Web sight  long time ago.  It is called lady and son's house seasoning.  (the recipe is below) Just rub this all over the turkey and then follow the deep fry instructions for your deep frier. And remember to be safe.

House Seasoning: 1 cup salt 1/4 cup black pepper 1/4 cup garlic powder

Mix ingredients together and store in an airtight container for up to 6 months.

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.

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)

Teacher Appreciaton DAY 1

It has been forever since Stephanie or have blogged. Life has gotten in the way and we have gotten busy with our  families, work, etc. What a better way to jump back into it though than Teacher Appreciation!  I am on the PTO at my girls' school so I am in charge of doing gifts for all the teachers in the school and the IA's. I also have to come up with gifts for my kids to take to their teachers. It is challenging to come up with so many different ideas but I think I was able to do it this year!

From the PTO I sent in these cute little pudding cups with the saying Thanks for pudding your heart into teaching ( or being an IA depending on who received it).

 From my girls I had them take in these vases filled with Hershey kiss roses. What a pain they were to make but they turned out adorable!

Check back tomorrow for more ideas!
