Heavenly Hash

Today we had our faculty Thanksgiving luncheon at school and I made Heavenly Hash to share with my school family. My parents have been making this dish for the Holidays for as long as I can remember.It's a cool whip lip smacking dish.The recipe is below. Enjoy!

Heavenly Hash

1 can eagle brand

1 can cherry pie filling

1 large tub of Cool Whip

1 large can crushed drained pineapple

1 cup small marshmallows

1 cup nuts

Mix all ingredients together; add cherry pie filling last. Let chill in refrigerator before serving.

Monkey Bread

You can't go wrong with a warm chunk of this ooey, gooey sweetness on a cool morning. 4 cans of biscuits (the cheap kind) cut into quarters
2 cups of sugar
1 3/4 teaspoon of cinnamon
1 1/2 sticks of butter

Put quartered biscuits in a bowl or bag and mix with 1 cup sugar and 3/4 teaspoon of cinnamon.

Bring 1 cup of sugar, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and butter to a boil in a saucepan or microwave. (Do not boil. You don't want the mix to caramelize.)

Put biscuits in bundt pan and pour syrup over top.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

Wait about 10 minutes before turning pan over onto a plate to serve.

Enjoy!

Recipe~Toss Tacos

I grew up eating this meal. My parents fixed it often especially when us kids had friends over for dinner since it made a lot or could easily be doubled. I make this for Bunco quite often and the girls like it. It's quick and easy! I made this last night and didn't take any pictures to show you. Sorry!

Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef
1 medium onion
1 package of taco seasoning mix
1 jar (8 oz.) mild taco sauce
1 can pinto beans
1 can stewed crushed tomatoes
cheese
lettuce
tomato
several variety of Doritos chip

Brown beef and onion and then drain. Add seasoning, taco sauce, beans and tomatoes. Simmer until warm. Serve over crushed chips and garnish with cheese, letuce and tomatoes.

National Vanilla Cupcake Day

The cupcakes above and the recipe below are from Queen Martha. The recipe is for vanilla cupcakes, not chocolate.

Ingredients
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature (1 1/2 sticks)
1 1/2 cups sugar
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups milk

Makes 24

Directions
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line cupcake pan with paper liners; set aside. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In another mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, mixing until incorporated and scraping down sides of bowl, beat in vanilla.
Add flour mixture and milk alternately, beginning and ending with flour. Scrape the sides and bottom of bowl to assure the batter is thoroughly mixed. Divide batter evenly among liners, filling papers about 2/3 full. Bake on the center rack of the oven until tops spring back to touch, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Turkey Cupcake How-To

Kids will gobble up these tasty turkeys! Their heads are store-bought coconut marshmallows; make holes in them with a toothpick dipped in water, and insert chocolate sprinkles for eyes. Gummy fish are the perfect shape for beaks and tail feathers. Toasted coconut "feathers" sprout from the turkey's chocolate butter cream bodies.

Recipes

Here are two recipes I think you might enjoy. The first one is for the cheese dip that I took to the Bridal shower and the second one is what I fixed for the Bunco Babes!

Cheese Dip:

16 oz Hellman's mayonnaise

small chopped onion

round loaf of bread

bread sticks or crackers to serve with dip

King Ranch Casserole:

4-5 cooked chicken breast

In a pan saute 1/2 chopped onion, 1/2 chopped bell pepper in 2-3 Tablespoons of butter. Add 1 can of Rotell, 1 can of Cream of Chicken soup, 1 can Cream of Mushroom soup. Mix all together. Add about 1/2 cup of milk to make a little bit thinner so it pours easily.

Spray casserole pan with PAM. Cut 6 corn tortillas into strips. This is the bottom layer in the dish, Add 1/2 of the chicken. Next layer is 1/2 the soup mixture. Next layer is 2 cups of grated cheese. Then you will repeat-6 tortillas, chicken, soup mixture and cheese.

Bake for about 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
