Ingrediants:
1 can creamed corn
1 can whole corn, drained
1 stick butter, softened
1 block cream cheese, softened
1 bag/box corn bread mix
2 eggs
1 cup (and extra) cheddar cheese
Mix butter and cream cheese until cream cheese is very well blended (this is a huge thing, you don't want your cream cheese clumpy).
In a bowl combine cheese/butter mix, cornbread mix, corns, eggs, and 1 cup cheddar cheese.
Pour into a greased dish.
Cover with as much cheese as you would like, for me it's a cup.
Cook at 350 for about 45mins. Our old stove needs to cook it for longer so make sure it's cooked throughly by checking with a toothpick.

Homemade Baked Mac N Cheese
All you need:
Macaroni
Velvetta
Milk
Cook your macaroni, for three people and leftovers for lunch I cook half a box.
Grease a baking dish and pour the cooked macaroni in. Pour milk to about the halfway point of the macaroni.
Cover with velvetta, in my opinion, the more the better.
Cover with foil. (Word to the wise, don't uncover while cooking, it causes the mac to dry out.)
Cook at 350 for about 40mins.
Stir and enjoy.

Salt & Pepper Chicken
This is my go to meat! It started as an "oops, let's throw some stuff in here so it tastes ok" and ended as delish.
Like always, my recipe is to taste and isn't exact measurements.
Salt
Pepper
McCormick Grill Mates Montreal Steak Grinder (or I suppose you could buy the regular shaker, I just have a fasination with grinders.)
Chicken (like 5x's more than you think you'll need)
Olive oil
Cut chicken into pieces, I like mine tiny, Tim likes his bigger, Brittyn just likes hers.
Pour some OO in a pan and throw your chicken in. Generously sprinkle all your seasonings on the chicken.
Brown chicken.
Enjoy.
I like to sprinkle the spices multiple times as I brown. The more you put on the better it tastes.

Melissa's Orange Candies
These are new to me, but they are yummy.
They are a handed down recipe so none of the measurements are exact. So this will require a lot of taste testing, dern the luck.
Mix 1 cup powdered sugar with 2-3 drops orange extract flavoring.
Taste to make sure it's strong enough.Add a drop more if necessary.
If it's not a very thick consistancy add a little more powdered sugar until it is.
Roll into a log and freeze for an hour.
Melt chocolate (easiest is the kind in a tub that you melt in the microwave).
Cut pieces of the orange log off and with a toothpick dip in the chocolate.
Let harden in the refridgerator.

Liz's Fudge
I love fudge! I love Liz's peanut butter fudge the bestest in the world. It is amazing. It is delicious. It is take your breath away fantastic. It is easy.
Put 2.5cups sugar and 1.5cups of milk in a pot. Boil. It will rise then thicken and fall. As it falls test it on occassion by dropping it into a room temp. cup of water. When the mixture drops in hard balls in the water take it off the heat. Mix in 1teas vanilla extract and 1cup creamy peanut butter. Stir and pour into a pan/dish and let cool.
But make sure to lick the warm fudge off of the pan, that's my favorite part.

The perfect snack for Halloween
I wanted to remind everyone of the fabulous caramel corn recipe I posted a few months ago. I'll be making these into balls and giving them to the local kids....or well the ones I know since nowadays you can't be to sure when a stranger gives you a homemade treat.
Rootbeer Roast
It appears I haven't posted in a while so I thought I'd start back with a yummy yummy in my tumy roast recipe. It's sooooo simple and you'll ask yourself why you hadn't thought of it yourself.
1 roast cut into pieces to eliminate as much of the fat as possible
1 can of rootbeer
1 jar of BBQ sauce~ I recommend Sweet Baby Ray's or Kraft Hickory
Combine these three things in the crockpot and simmer 6-8hr or until the meat is tender. Once it's tender the meat can be torn with a fork.
If you'd prefer the BBQ to be a stick to the meat thing then you can simmer the meat in the rootbeer for a few hours, dump out the juice, and add the BBQ sauce, but this tastes pretty different.
