Holiday Gift Giveaway … Monday

November 22, 2010 By Melanie Roberts

And the Holiday Gift Giveaway for Monday is……

Potluck Survival Guide

What we think about this book …..?

Well let me tell you… I think this is a MUST have book if you ever have any Church gatherings, family get together’s, parties.. anything heck even just a family of 2….. this book is AWESOME… At first I wasn’t too sure about it, the cover didn’t really appeal to me and I hardly ever, let me think.. NEVER actually had a Potluck dinner that I had to bring anywhere…. so I almost passed up the book… but decided “Oh well, why not check it out”… and I must say I’m glad I did… I really really like the recipes in the book.

The back of the Book has also a number chart if you are NOT cooking for a football team, it gives you instructions for all kind of ingredients so you can adapt each recipe to the size of family/ gathering you have.

For example it gives you a list for Meat – Chicken boneless 1/2 pound for a single serving, 3 1/2 -4 pounds for 12 people and 7-8 pounds for 25 guest and so on.. it is really cool and you can adapt the recipes to your needs.

How about a PERFECT Pumpkin Pie…

( makes 2 Pies)

You Need:

1 pack frozen pie shells ( 2 shells are in each pack)

Filling:

1 cup sugar ( 1/2 white and 1/2 brown)
3 cups pumpkin puree ( 2 pints)
1 Egg
1 can condensed Milk
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Pinch of Nutmeg
Topping:
1 cup brown sugar
1cup flour
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup chopped pecans

How to make it:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
2. Mix all the filling ingredients well and pour into unbaked pie shell
3. Puls the sugar, flour and butter in a food processor until the mixture resembles cornmeal. Stir in the chopped paeans by hand and spread over the top of the pie.
4. Place the pie plate on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or tin foil to catch any drippings if the filling overflows
5. bake for 55 minutes…

ENJOY!!

Now didn’t that sound yummy?? I will make this one for sure, simple and yummy… The book has almost 200 pages of Delicious recipes that your family will love… So never judge a book by it’s cover… and enter the Giveaway for your Own Potluck Survival Guide
Or if you want to buy one it is available on Amazon.com and most Book Stores and retails for $24.95

MERRY CHRISTMAS…

    My favorite Holiday day desert is one of my own making. Essentially it is a curry and nutmeg cheesecake topped with a pumpkin pie and on top of that a pecan crumble.
