Jack Daniel's Cake

I was invited to a Bunco night with the girls by my friend Kristen from work last night...I have never played, but she said there would be lots of great people and yummy food.  So I went.  And I am glad I did!!  They had Thanksgiving food!  I took my pumpking muffins (see that post for the recipe) and she brought her Mom's Sweet Potato Casserole - which I hope to share later!!  The outstanding dish was from another fill in lady name Wyrene.  It was a cake made with Jack Daniels...yep and it was good.  I found the recipe at Food.com and had to share!!!

Snicker Salad

Friday at work we had our annual Thanksgiving Potluck dinner for the office.  We have so many talented bakers and chefs...I dont know where to begin.  so I decided to start with one of my favorites of the day...this was brought by my co-worker James who had his sister in law make it.  It was so good.  I plan on making it for Thanksgiving at my Brothers this week. 

Snickers Salad

• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 (12 ounce) container Cool Whip, thawed
• 6 Snickers candy bars
• 4 -6 granny smith apples Directions:

1. Mix cream cheese and powdered sugar until thoroughly blended.
2. Fold in Cool Whip.
3. Cut Snickers into bite size chunks and add to cream cheese mixture.
4. Chop the apples into chunks and stir.
5. Chill 1 hour before serving.
6. Chilling for a long period of time (such as overnight) will result in liquid being released from the salad.

pinto beans with hamburger meat

We love beans at our house and usually I use dry beans and take a few hours on cooking them. But in these dog days of summer with temps around 105 on a daily basis I like to short cut it and use canned beans.

I don't always make my pinto beans the same way either...this time I use:

1 lb of hamburger
1 pkg taco seasoning
1 bag of frozen onion and pepper mix
1 can 27 oz pinto beans

Cooked hamburger and rinsed with hot water, combined meat, peppers, seasoning, and beans. Bring to a boil and lower to a simmer for about 20 mins.
And serve...mine are usually served with tortilla chips!
