Friday Fluff

Guilty pleasure holiday (any holiday) food....go!!

Re: Friday Fluff

  • Three words: GREEN.BEAN.CASSEROLE

    J or I always make the green bean casserole for holiday functions because nobody else makes it the right way (I'm a green bean casserole snob).  The green beans, the cream of mushroom soup, the copious amount on crunchy onions on top, to die for.  If I had to choose only one thing to eat for the rest of my life, that would be it.

  • Christmas cookies, for SURE. I'm never one to say no to a cookies, and over the holiday season I indulge in a big way. 
  • I need to be extra guilty and share two!!!

    #1...My granny's succotash.  It is this wonderfully cheesy lima bean and corn substance that I LOVE!!!!  Unfortunately it is not weight loss surgery friendly but thanks to reduced fat cheeses and fat free half and half I am making my own version this year.  Granny has passed down the secret recipe just so I could make a healthier version I could eat.  It actually made me cry that I could not eat this last xmas it just was the missing piece.

    #2...My mom's creamed chipped beef.  Family breakfast  xmas morning made in my southern great granny's cast iron skillet usually by my mother.  This year however it has fallen to me as I have learned to make a healthier yet equally as tasty version. 

    This gastric bypass has been fantastic for my life but has increased my cooking duties a TON!!!

    We had three BFN in the Fall of 2011. It is back on to some baby making come June. Swim little fellas, SWIM!!!!
  • Those halloween pumpkins that are like candy corn but a thousand times more delicious.  they probably dont even count as food - pretty much dyed and packed sugar, but OMG yummm

  • Christmas cookies for me too. The sugar cookies I posted the recipe for. I also like to make jam thumbprints and my grandma used to make date pinwheels and I've started making them too. Yum!
  • I secretly love those sugar cookies at Target (or probably any grocery store) that are 100% processed and show up frosted in the colors of any season.  You know the ones I mean...it must be spring if they're pink and yellow?   Bring on the green and red frosting, folks:)

  • My grandfather's lasagna... He made it for EVERY holiday, so it's my every-holiday favorite. Unfortunately, no one makes it like he used to... Sad

  • stuffing!  Even when I was a vegetarian, I made an exception for gram's stuffing with giblets. 

    Bacon wrapped waterchestnuts are a good Christmas favorite, though. mmmmm.
