Creame Cheese Corn Casserole for the Q&N Turkey Day Dinner

This will be my 5th Thanksgiving Dinner with my Querbes & Nelson Family.  This year I am bringing my Famous Pumpkin Cake with Creame Cheese Frosting that I made back in Sept...and I wanted to bring a veggie dish and while thinking of some of my favorite side dishes as a kid...this one stood out more than others...

This recipe came from one of my boyfirends in high school's mom...Nan Luker.  She made this for holidays and special events!  This is very simple and easy to make. 

Ingreds:
2 cans of whole kernal corn, drained
1 can of cream styled corn
1/2 stick butter, cubed
1- 8 oz pkg of cream cheese, cubed
1 small can of green chilies

Pour corn, and chilies into baking dish and add the cream cheese and butter, stiring to mix.  Bake @350 for 30 mins. 


and in 30 mins you get this:

It smells wonderful, kinda hated to have to put it up instead of getting a big ol' spoonful!

Home Sweet Home...

We are finally moved and in the new house!!  I am very excited...and love it!  My kitchen is somewhat in order...but I keep going circles at times looking for things. 

BRB...

My blog and baking has been put to a halt for a temporary moment.  We are moving into a new home just a few miles away...but I havent moved since 1999 and it has been since 1990 for my husband.  So that many years requires a lot of culling, tossing, and packing.

But it is so worth it...I am going from this kitchen:

and yes sometimes size does matter :)

Mr.Goode Bar Chocolate Cookies

1 box devil's food cake mix
2 eggs
1/2 cup oil
10 mini fun size candy bars, chopped

mix all ingreds except candy, roll dough into 1 in balls or bigger then I flattened out the ball in my hand and added the pieces of candy to the center of the ball and rolled it up again and place on the cookie sheet, bake at 350 for 12 mins.

If you dont want to add candy you can roll the balls in powdered sugar before baking and they turn out to be Chocolate Krinkles! yummy too!
