For all those who don't know this about me- I LOVE to cook. Really. Yes, it's hard when I've got 3 kids and a household to take care of, but really, I still love it! Some people read classic literature... I read cookbooks and cooking magazines! I admit, sometimes I spend hours and hours cooking a Sunday dinner. Like I said before, it's a sickness...
We have a bunch of family coming into town next week and I've been thinking about meals for a good week now. Hmmm....what to make??? I found a recipe for sweet potatoes in the crock pot that sounds yummy. (See recipe HERE) I also just picked up a 17 lb turkey at Albertsons for .38/ lb!! Not bad! No, I'm not hosting the actual Thanksgiving dinner but apparently now, I'm cooking a turkey. No biggie- cooking a turkey is easy. My mother-in-law made this great chili last time she was here, so add that to the list.
But for everything else, I've been scouring my cookbooks and allrecipes.com for anything that sounds GOOD. I'm always on the lookout...so feel free to share!
I'll share one of Adrian's favorites, it's a REALLY easy treat:
Poor Man's Turtles
1 bag of Rollos candy
1 bag of mini pretzels
pecan halves
Put a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Unwrap Rollos. Lay out pretzels on parchment paper. Put a Rollo on top. Cook for 4 minutes. Right after you take them out, gently press a pecan halve into each Rollo. Cool and enjoy!
I am just the opposite--I HATE to cook! I would much rather do the cleaning up than cooking the meal. I think the most thing I hate about cooking is coming up with the weekly dinner menu.
