Over the weekend, we had our local fair in town- which meant deep-fried everything along with large pieces of grilled meat was in town also. Normally, I say I’m going to eat something- then I rationalize the $8 price tag and go buy steaks on the way home. This time, however- I did happen to try one of the deep-fried oddities there.

Anyway, I’m back! And, I officially made my “holiday cook/bake list” – it had 207 recipes. Oh dear. So… I whittled it down to 65. I think it will take me clear into 2012. But, that’s okay, I remember last New Years, when I posted egg-less egg salad and other healthy foods- you guys wanted more (a-hem) “fun” stuff. SO!!! I did Thanksgiving, I did Black Friday, I did leftovers, and…. I’m almost done. Continue reading thanksgiving recap 
comfort food~ it’s like a hug in food formWhen I was about 17, I found this awesome comfort food cookbook at a bookstore; this was way before the days of the Internet- and debit cards, and I had no cash to buy the book…. so I tried my best to remember it so that I could buy it next time. I was 17. Of course I forgot all the important stuff, like the author or publisher. I did however, remember that is had awesome photos and recipes. Come to think of it, I bet nowadays the photos wouldn’t be that impressive- have you ever noticed that food photos from the 60′s, 70′s and 80′s don’t look as good as they do today? I have a I need to make a post about my favorites. Did you know that the Pillsbury bake off used to be called the Grand National? There’s a little tidbit. Speaking of tidbits, here is a collection of my most loved comfort food recipes… 
I don’t know about you, but anything with taco in the name sounds tasty. Mmmm…. When I named the recipe I had an aha moment. Get it?! Taco bell peppers? Taco bell…..hahaha… I made these one night when we were going to have tacos, but a trip to the produce stand took me in a different dinner direction. Because peppers were on sale for 49¢ a pound. Woo~hoo! I love some good cheap food! Of course, I would have free veggies in my backyard if they’d just grow. I think it has something to do with my sandy soil…it’s like planting in dirty sugar. Oh well….
