Loaded Mashed Potatoes


This is my oldest son, Vince's, recipe for Loaded Mashed Potatoes and they are truly amazing.  We love it when he makes them for our holiday dinners.  This is truly an exceptional recipe.  He just gave me a taste, and I told him they "tasted like Heaven on a Spoon".  I am really grateful that he and my other children like to cook also.  It's really fun.

Loaded Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients:

5 lbs russet potatoes (not peeled, cubed, and cooked)
1 1/2 lbs bacon cooked and cut into bite size piece
1 lb butter
2 cups heavy whipping cream
12 oz whipped cream cheese
16 oz sour cream
 1 lb shredded cheddar cheese
1 1/2 TB Cholula hot sauce
salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a casserole dish with non stick cooking spray

Add potatoes to a large pan or large bowl and add butter, mash with a potato masher.

Then add whipping cream, cream cheese, sour cream cheddar cheese, Cholula, salt and pepper and stir together.

Next, add the bacon and finish stirring.

Bake in oven for 45 minutes

Serves 12 to 16.

These Loaded Mashed Potatoes are so delicious.  I hope that you like them as much as we do.

Have a great holiday season.

Blurb Customized E-books for Gifts


Give a Blurb Customized E-book for Christmas this year.

It’s that time of the year, and there are probably a lot of gifts on your list. And if you run your own business (even if it’s just you and your blog), you have even more gifts to give. You know, gifts for clients, business partners, vendors, and customers. That gets expensive.

An ecard is a popular choice, but let’s be honest—it’s not much of a gift. Instead, consider giving an ebook made with Blurb  
for something truly memorable (and economical). Whether it’s your writing, your images, your designs, a selection of your favorite blog posts or some representation of whatever it is you and your business do, it’s an e-gift that’s all you.

run right on the iPad or in the iBooks app that’s part of Mac OS X Mavericks. For the Apple-free folks on your receiving list, you can create an Instant PDF  that’s readable on pretty much every device.

Blurb’s fixed-format ebooks can include text, imagery, links, audio, and video. So you could even include a little office Christmas caroling as an added bonus. Or not; that depends on your singing voice. (mine is definitely really bad.  But a link to your website? That’s a no-brainer.

Ebooks are extremely inexpensive. For just $9.99 you can create an ebook of any size and then give away as many copies as you like simply by sending the download link to your customers, clients, and friends. The Instant PDF is just $4.99 to create.

And for those really special clients, you can still make a gift they can physically open, a printed book.

Save 25% on print book purchases of $50.00 or more

So why not get started  I'm thinking of doing an e-book for David, and a printed book for my mom.

Have a great week.

Welcome to Wednesday's Adorned From Above Blog Hop 69.

Flannel Receiving Blankets


These Flannel Receiving Blankets were so easy to make, and I love the way they came out.  I did some research online to find out the size of a receiving blanket, and it seems that they are approximately 36 x 36 inches.  Pretty easy.


So I bought 1 yard of each piece of flannel and then cut them all down to 36 x 36 inches.  Next I serged the edges on all of them.  It probably took me about two hours to make all of these, if that long.


I thought these would make great presents for anyone with a baby. (Christmas, newborn gift, baby shower gift)

Have a great week.

Christmas Bible Verses Countdown to Christmas


I saw this Christmas Bible Verses Countdown to Christmas.  I wish I a could post a link to the specific post, but when I went to the website, it's no longer there. Here is the link to the pin on Pinterest, Mariah's Cooking Channel - Christmas Countdown Bible Verses.  So I decided to reproduce the list and I will also share the 1st two the verses for this week.  I hope that you'll read along with me this month.  I'll be sharing a few verses each week.

Christmas Bible Verse Countdown


December 1

1.  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2.  He was with God in the beginning.
3.  Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.
4.  In him was life, and that life was the light of men.  
5.  The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.

John 1: 1-5


December 2

2.  The people walking in darkness have seen a great light;  on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned.
3.  You have enlarged the nation and increased their joy;  they rejoice before you as people rejoice at the harvest, as men rejoice when dividing the plunder.
4.  For as in the day of Midian's defeat, you have shattered the yoke that burdens them, the bar across their shoulders, the rod of their oppressor.
5.  Every warriors boot used in battle and every garment rolled in blood will be destined for burning, will be fuel for the fire.
6.  For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders.  And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
7.  Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end.  He will reign on David's throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that last time on and forever.  The zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this.

Isiah 9: 2-7

Have a blessed holiday season.
