This is what I cooked yesterday to take today. I'm dealing with a bad knee,
bone
on bone in a spot which is quite painful at times. I was fitted for an
orthotic
brace yesterday and kept my shopping and cooking fairly simple due to that.
I hope everyone
had a great day with lots of good food and good company. Report back on how
your day went, ours
went very well. My twin grandsons (14) have taken up music, guitars and
drums and they did a great job of playing a couple of songs, also my
favorite..."Heart and Soul"on the keyboards with an upbeat sound. All in all
it was great, hope yours was too. :-)


2 large loaves of white bread which turned out very well.

I roasted turkey legs and necks to make the gravy to take, kept the turkey
legs and necks here for leftovers tomorrow.

Fudge with lots of peanuts because DIL doesn't like walnuts, so I make it
for
her.

Rice Krispie treats for my twin grandsons, they love them.

A pumpkin cake using this recipe which is like a dump cake I think, and was
very good. I hadn't made it before but it was easy.

1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
3 eggs
1 cup white sugar
4 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
3/4 cup butter, melted
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
Directions
1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking
pan.
2.In a large bowl, combine pumpkin, milk, eggs, sugar and spice. Mix well,
and
 pour into a 9x13 inch pan.
3.Sprinkle dry cake mix over the top, then drizzle with melted butter. Top
with
 walnuts.
4.Bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour or until a knife inserted near the center
comes out clean.

I also made the oyster casserole that I saw Nancy Fuller make on Farmhouse
Rules
and had that for dinner last night. More calories and carbs than I would
normally
eat for sure, but I splurged, and it was very good even though I used
jarred oysters.

Ingredients

2 sleeves soda crackers, crushed
4 dozen oysters, shucked, juices reserved
Salt and freshly ground pepper
3 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup fresh grated parmesan
1 teaspoon paprika


Directions

2 sticks (16 tablespoons) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for
greasing

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with
butter, and set aside.

Sprinkle a layer of crushed soda crackers on the bottom of the prepared
baking
dish. Arrange a layer of oysters, along with their juices, on top of the
crackers. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and dot with a few pats of butter.
Repeat, beginning with another layer of crackers. Top with a final layer of
soda
crackers and then pour the cream over everything. Sprinkle with the parmesan
and
paprika. Bake until golden brown and bubbly, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
