We'll be cheering for the Patriots!! We are going to a friend's house to watch it on thier tv. I will probably bring aztec bean dip,yum, with tortilla chips. We won't be watching Tom Petty though....a few years ago we started a tradition that a leftover christmas tree gets burned during the half time....let me tell ya, they burn pretty well by Feb. Its pretty funny, the boys all stand around the tree in the snow and make attempts at "lighting" the tree, and then eventually whoosh...and half-times over. GO PATS!!

This easy recipe is a dessert or a salad, and always popular as it is fairly healthy, depending on the type of ingredients you use. It makes a great presentation. GRAPE SALAD Red, black, and green grapes, no seeds (or just one or two types is fine), stems removed, washed and thoroughly dried. Place in large clear trifle bowl, layering by color or mixing, or in individual wine or champagne or dessert glasses, clear. Mix together: --1 package of cream cheese (regular or low or no fat) --1 small carton of sour cream (again, regular, low or no fat) --Powdered sugar (I guess at it starting with 1/3 cup and sweetening to taste--you can also use SPLENDA) --1 tsp good vanilla Mix with mixer, then pour over the grapes. If individual glasses, of course only pour a tablespoon or so over each glass. Refrigerate. --Just before serving, sprinkle brown sugar and chopped pecans over the creamy mixture. This has never failed to get great reviews from adults and children alike!

Threejs, is this it? Cinnabon Likes These are the best Cinnamon rolls. Make sure to watch them closely, and do not over bake. This is the recipe for using the Bread Machine for the dough. 1/4 c water 1 c milk 1/4 c butter or margarine, melted 1 egg, slightly beaten 1/2 pkg (3.4oz) instant vanilla pudding (I use cheesecake flavor.) 1 T sugar 1/2 t salt 4 c bread flour 2 1/2 t yeast Place ingredients in machine following manufactures instructions. (I warm milk in microwave with water, adding in softened or melted butter. I beat the egg and mix some of the milk mixture into the egg to warm it. Then dump it in with milk, water and butter. Then I add all that in where liquid is called for.) Set for sweet bread dough cycle. After complete, remove from machine and let sit for about 10 minutes. Roll out to 17"x10"(approx.) rectangle. Mix together 1 c brown sugar and 2 t cinnamon. Smear with butter to within 1" and sprinkle generously with brown sugar/cinnamon. Roll tightly from long end, pinching closed when completely rolled. Slice in 1/2"-1". Place in well greased pans.(I use 9x13 and 9" round. Spaced well apart. For GROWING room.) The original recipe called for 3 9" pans. Let rise until doubled. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes or until light golden. DO NOT OVERBAKE.(They become tough if over baked.) Frost within 10 minutes with cream cheese frosting. Cream Cheese Frosting Mix 4 oz cream cheese, 1/4 c butter(or all cream cheese), 1 t vanilla and enough powdered sugar to make it thick, about 3 cups. Add 1-2 T of milk a little at a time to make it of thick spreading consistency.

These are really good. little smokies sausage ( the little miniature ones) bacon brown sugar wrap bacon around little smokie, roll in brown sugar lay them on a broiler pan cook in oven till bacon is crispy or done to your liking. I set my oven around 350 or so. Spear them on a toothpick I like the small cut up pieces of beef sticks, you can buy those by the package in beef or turkey. I put a piece of those and a cheese cube together on a toothpick, if I have them I add a seedless grape. The flavors are great together. I find those packages of the beef stick pieces either where the beef jerky is in some stores they have it in the refrigerated area near the cheese.
