This is a family favorite and I am under orders to take it to potlucks whenever I go to one.
******I usually double the recipe and bake it in a lightly greased cake pan (13 X 9) or in a larger casserole dish. You can also crumble bacon or cheese up in it, but my family really likes it plain.
Single recipe about 8 servings or more depending on serving size
8 oz. sour cream
1 stick melted margarine or butter
1 (15 oz.) can creamed corn
1 (15 oz.) can whole kernal corner (partially drained)
1 pkg. Jiffy corn muffin mix
Mix sour cream and butter together. Add corns. Add muffin mix and stir well. Bake 350' until set and lightly browned on top. Usually about 20-25 minutes for single batch and 45 minutes for double. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of the pan too.
Enjoy.

BBQ muffins
Ok so here's your new recipe for fun food.
First make your favorite sloppy joe's. I usually make them pretty strongly flavored for this with lots of BBQ sauce, onions, green peppers etc, but everyone likes them a different way. Just remember you need to be able to taste the sauce in the muffins, so kind of over do the flavor.
Then in a muffin tin (lightly greased) press a ready made biscuit out of a tube of biscuits. Brand does not matter on this, it just cannot be the great big biscuits, so use the smaller tube ones.
Fill each indented center of uncooked biscuit with a Tablespoon of BBQ mix, pressing lightly.
Top with favorite cheese and bake.
People love these because they are not so sloppy, sloppy joe's.
***You can do the same thing with pizza ingredients for fun. It works!

Bacon and egg cookies
This is a great recipe and one of my family's favorites (to make and eat).
You will need...
One bag pretzel sticks
One block of white almond bark or a bag of white chocolate chips.
One medium bag of M & M's
First lay out waxed paper on a working surface. You will need quite a bit of room for working and drying the cookies. Wet the work surface first until it's pretty wet and then lay the waxed paper over it. This helps the waxed paper to stick to the surface much better and it will not curl up on you.
In a bowl seperate all of the M & M's. You will need the yellow ones. The orange ones also work (just call them farm eggs).
Lay the pretzels sticks out two at a time next to each other on the waxed paper. They represent the bacon.
Melt the bark or white chocolate in the microwave stirring every 30 seconds until completely melted and smooth.
Take a spoon and pour a small portion of melted white bark over the middle of the pretzel sticks.
When this is done take one of the yellow M& M's and drop it into the center of the melted bark.
This makes it look like an egg over the pretzel stick bacon. Allow them to dry and then eat them. They really do look like eggs and bacon. My kids and hubby just love them. They are very easy and very creative.
Enjoy!

Weird monkey type bread recipe..
Ok, so here's this recipe that I make, but I cannot give you exact directions at this moment, because frankly I've been changing them from the original and I have to figure out how to write them down... but what you do is. (By the way the kids LOVE to help make this)
Buy one of the four packs of the refrigerator biscuits, any brand doesn't matter what type. Cut each into fourths.
Buy an 8 oz. cream cheese and cut it into little cubes about 1/2" X 1/2". Take each little cube of cream cheese and wrap it with a piece of biscuit. This makes all these little balls with a surprise in the center.
In a small bowl mix about 3/4 cup sugar with about 1 tsp. cinnamon. Adjust this as you like, if you want more or less cinnamon or sugar.
Grease a tube pan.
Put the sugar into a zip lock bag (gallon size) and then put the balls in and shake.
In a small bowl microwave 1 stick butter/margarine until melted.
Add 1/4 cup maple syrup and 1 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Put a layer of balls into the pan. Drizzle with a couple of TB of maple syrup mix. Reach into the bag and grab a small amount of the remaining cinn/sugar mixture and sprinkle that over the balls. Repeat this again once or twice depending on how many you put into the layer.
When all the balls are in pour any remaining ingredients over the top and then bake at 350 for at least 20 minutes, but then start checking it. I find that cooking times vary. I don't know why, but it might be where the air gaps are located or some such thing. It usually takes mine about 30 minutes or so.
Anyway, you'll be able to tell when it's done because the bread starts pulling away from the sides of the pan. Invert it right away and get it out of the pan, otherwise the caramel will stick and it won't come out. If that happens heat it up in the oven and try again.
Serve warm or you can slice it after it cools. I like it better warm, but it's good both ways.

Jessa's favorite pancakes
I call these pancakes Julie's pancakes. My friend Julie and I used to eat the quite often when I was young. We would ride horse or swim or bikeride and then come home and eat like there was no tomorrow. Now my kids love these. They call them the "thin pancakes". Enjoy!
6 eggs
3 cups milk
1 tsp. salt
2 TB oil
2 cups flour
Whisk together the wet ingredients and then whisk in the flour. The batter will be very thin. Cook them over medium heat like you do normal pancakes. You can tell one side is done when the other side sets (you'll understand that one when you make them).

Hurricane Deanna hits Warrens
You know how they say that it always gets worse before it gets better? Well let me tell you, it's true here at our house. I have started sorting, throwing away and packing with a vengeance!!!!!! I have stuff thrown all over BUT I WILL PREVAIL!!! The furniture is finally going back into rooms that it belongs in. Stuff is being unpacked out of rubbermaids. Stuff that we have not missed over these last months while it was packed away, is being sent to another home. I am going to win this battle (no matter how much whining I have to listen to . Even when I'm the one doing the whining!)
Every room is under reconstruction as I have found out that it really has to begin with the kids. I know that makes no sense, but when their rooms are full, they start bringing stuff out to play with it and it never goes back in. We are all kicking and screaming our way through this mess (I think I might be the only one screaming though).
Mom's in a sorting mood and everyone better move it, lose it or get it remodeled. I'm taking no prisoners!!!!!

Ok, so I've been busy....
Things have been so busy for us that I have had all that I can do to blog on the other blog. So...... here goes. I've decided to share some more recipes on this blog for you as the holidays are coming.
Easy Favorite for you.
Chicken with Sauce (one of my kid's all time favorites)
1 bag frozen boneless skinless chicken breasts (you can use pork chops too)
2 large cans cream of mushroom soup
16 oz sour cream
You can cook this two different ways...
First way dump chicken in crock pot, mix together soup and sour cream and pour over it. Cook it on low for at least 6 hours. It's very forgiving, so if you need 7 or 8, add a little water and let it cook.
Second way, at 350 bake the chicken with a little water in it until it's 3/4 done. It usually takes about an hour, but sometimes they don't seem to cook so they need a little more time. Pour on the sauce and then bake it
another half hour or until slightly browned on top.
For a change you can top with crumbled bacon or green onions. Serve with mashed potatoes or rice.
Don't forget the cranberry sauce on the side (being from Wisconsin and on the board at Cranfest I had to put that plug in there).
Enjoy!!
