This is called HEAVENLY RICE very easy....

Cook about 2 cups of rice ( makes 4 cups)
take one can of crushed pineapple...large size can..and mix into the rice. Let sit over night in the fridge.( the rice will absorb the juices)
Next day, add one tub of Cool whip..mix it in well...then back in the fridge for about an hour.
My kids loved this...and it keeps well for 2 or 3 days ( IF it lasts)
 
Everyone might already know this.....but just in case. It is my sons favorite. He likes to sample it while its warm with ice cream. I like my well chilled.

Super easy apple sauce

Chop as many apples as you want
(any kind you like, into bite size pieces)
Put in sauce pan with
1/4 cup water and a 1/4 cup of sugar per 5 apples
Add cinnamon -to taste
I add fresh grated nutmeg (optional)

Cook on medium and stir often simmer until water has boiled out and apples are mushy. Chill in fridge. Good for quite a few days.

The nice thing is you can adjust this recipe to taste easily. It is pretty sweet as written. If you want it sweeter add more sugar, if you like it tart add less. Also if you like chunky applesauce leave the apples a little bigger, if you like it smoother mash them up at the end. enjoy

Sausage Balls!!!

I don't use recipes, I just make them so let me see if I can get this right.

1 pound of hot sausage (like Jimmy Dean)
1 pound of cheddar cheese (shredded)
about 1/2 cup of flour
about 1/4 cup of water

Mix all this together in a large bowl

Grab up some of the mixture and roll into a ball about the size of a pingpong ball.

Take a baking sheet with sides, very important these are greasy lil things so the baking sheet needs sides to keep grease from getting all over your oven. Place the balls onto the sheet about 1 inch apart.

I think I usually set the oven for 400-450 and then I watch to make sure they're cooked. I never time anything.


If these directions seem sketchy...I think they sell frozen sausage balls in the grocery store now.

Here is one for you! This one is dangerous!!! Chocolate lovers will love this!!!!!! It is a long process to make... but oh is it so worth it!!!!!!!!


Holliday Chocolate Shock
Items needed
16 oz box Chocolate pudding
32 0z Cool Whip
Oreo Cookie Crust (or Gram Cracker Crust)
1 ½ Cup Milk
11.75 oz Jar Hershey Hot Fudge
Hershey Chocolate Bar (frozen)

1. Prepare crust according to package (i.e. brush on egg white, bake) & cool
2. Heat hot fudge (approx. 3 tablespoons) so it is easy to spread - spread on sides and bottom of cooled crust – immediately place in freezer to let chocolate harden

3. Prepare Pie mix
Choc Pudding
1 ½ cups milk (use a little more if needed)
16 oz Cool Whip

Whisk together chocolate pudding and milk until smooth and creamy, blend in cool whip and mix together

4. Pour mixture into frozen crust – place in freezer for approx 5 hours or until firm
5. Heat hot fudge (approx 3 to 4 tablespoons) pour over pudding – Immediately place in freezer for approx an hour.
6. Spread remaining Cool Whip over pie
7. Grate Hershey chocolate bar over cool whip - freeze for another hour or two until firm
8. Drizzle warm Hot fudge over top – place in freezer until approx 15 minutes before serving. Let thaw – serve

** The Gram cracker crust in place of the Oreo crust will tone down the chocolate**
**Freezing the Chocolate bar will keep it from melting in your hand as you grate**

One small slice goes along way!!!
 
BEST DANG CORNBREAD DRESSING EVER

1- 6oz package corn bread mix, prepared per directions about 3 day ahead of time, crumble it up in big chunks and leave it

1/3 C butter

1/2 C chopped celery

1/2 C chopped onion

2 eggs

1 tsp poultry seasoning

1/2 tsp pepper

1 1/4 C chicken broth

Add any extra seasoning that you like. ( garlic powder, cumin)

-In skillet melt butter, cook onions and celery stirring until tender.

-In large bowl combine onion mixture, cornbread, and remaining ingredients, mix well.

-Cook in crockpot on low for about 4-5 hours. Stir every once in a while and if it gets dry or drier than you like, add more chicken stock.


I usually triple this recipe for my big family and it will fit in my big crockpot. I love this dressing because it is not dry.

ENJOY
 
This is a favorite holiday recipe and I always get requests for these cookies!!!

OLD- FASHIONED GINGERSNAPS

3/4 C Butter
1 C Sugar
1 Egg
1/4 C Molasses
2 C Flour
2 tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp EACH: Ground Cinnamon
Ground Cloves
Ground Ginger
1/4 tsp Salt
Additional Sugar

In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add egg and molasses. Beat well. Combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, ginger and salt. Gradually add to creamed mixture. Mix well. Chill dough until easy to handle. Roll into 1 1/4" balls and roll in sugar. Place 2" apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 375 for about 10 minutes. The edges will be firm and the surface will crack. Cool on wire racks.

I like to use stones to bake on because the bottoms don't get dark. Also, be sure not to overbake cookies. They should be soft when you remove them from the oven and will harden as they cool.
