BFS: Fun Fall Food

Intro: M’m M’m Good (Campbell’s Soup)The fall is such a wonderful time of year. The beautiful foliage and cool, crisp morning air is such a wonderful change from the hot summer. I also love the M’m M’m good smell of fall cooking and baking. The wonderful fall veggies, fruits and Thanksgiving foods.
Assignment: Post your favorite fall recipe/recipes to share.

There's no doubt about it! Fall not only brings cooler temps (if you call 85 cooler) but its own array of autumn flavors. My daddy's boiled peanuts are at the tippity top of the list of my favorite Fall foods. Anything with apples from North Georgia is on my list...and don't forget that first pot of chili!

My Hero loves buffalo wings....And I love a good hot cheesy dip. Every fall, I make this Buffalo Chicken Dip in my crockpot and we dig in with Fritos scoops, Ritz or Tostitos. As a matter of fact, we're past due for a batch!

Enjoy!

Buffalo Chicken Dip

2 (10 ounce) cans chunk chicken, drained
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup Ranch dressing
3/4 cup pepper sauce, such as Franks® Red Hot® (Check out their version of the dip recipe...)
1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

I normally dump it all into the crockpot and stir it off and on as it heats up and melts together. Some recipes have directions for the oven and stove top, as well. We prefer the crock pot although it takes a few hours. Yumyum!

Oh MAN!!! I can't believe I found someone on a blog that eats and love boiled peanuts! Growing up in SC we had them any time we wanted but above the NC line no one knows what they are. I have to cook some of those soon. The chicken dip sounds good too, but not better than boiled peanuts...

I love boiled peanuts! Nothing better than getting them when they are fresh. We live in PA... so, we rarely get them fresh.

The chicken dip... I've had it before but never have made it. Your recipe sounds very easy... I'm trying to think when I can make it! ;o) Thanks for posting it. Many blessings.

My First Assignment!

Image
Oh, What a Feeling!!! That's the title of my first BFS Assignment. I'm to share a little about what led us to homeschool in the first place....and our ups and downs. The title is kind of funny to me...mainly because THIS homeschool mom runs the gamut of "feelings" about our home educating adventure. One day I feel great and encouraged...the next day I might feel like I've completely lost my mind to think I can teach my own children a livelong thing. One day I feel like I knowthatIknowthatIknow Father has called us to homeschool and the next day, I feel like I'm completely ruining the poor little dears! Please tell me I'm not alone! My two older brothers and their wives introduced the idea of homeschooling to me, who went to a private school all 12 years. There were friends here in our small town, as well, who were homeschooling when hardly no one else in a 60 mile radius was. I talked to my sister in laws at length about their reasons for homeschooling and...

Rayray's Recap of American Idol

Image
Since I haven't blogged on American Idol in awhile, our Rayray is going to blog tonight in my place. So without further adieu, here's your American Idol recap, through the eyes of a 13 year old. Hey people! I am so honored to be my mama's first guest blogger! Here we go...My first American Idol blog! I'm so excited! :D Allison, I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing: Oh, Allison. Why in the earthly WORLD did you pick that song? That's David Cook's song! *Flashes back to last season* David brought it on that song last year. *flashes back to present* It was too low pitched. I wanted to see her hittin' those big notes tonight. I'm a big fan of Allison, but it just wasn't that great tonight. Anoop Dawg, Everything I Do I Do For You: You should've taken Randy's advice. Rough it up! It sounded like he didn't even try to take his advice. I'm kinda sick of ballads, too. Is it just me, or has he done one like, three weeks in a row? ( PajamaMama loved ...

What You Missed....

Image
Why is it that when there's tons of great stuff to blog about, I drop the ball and don't blog!!! Perhaps it's lack of time!!! Anyway, I'll catch you up on what you missed with a photo essay. Our Jelly Bean becomes St. JellyBean every Christmas. He grows out his beard and has his whole head dyed white. He has an awesome "suit." Not many folks get a private photo shoot with Santa in their living room! (This pic was only after phase one of beard-dying.) My nephew brought his fiance "home" to meet us all. She's a tiny little cute thing and we so enjoyed being with her! Fiance had never been to a Winn Dixie but loves the book "Because of Winn Dixie." So at 9:00 one night, guess where we took the poor little deprived child! Fiance is an avid basketball player. Had the nerve to do what no girl has every done....challenged the Hero to a little one-on-one. She let him win... These two cousins adore each other. They are two of the sweetest, mil...
