Valentine’s Day
Posted on 01.18.08 by itscrazydelicious @


I just love Valentine’s Day … so many great candies to get and flowers and other great gifts and producs to get your loved ones. I used to not do anything for Valentine’s Day but this year my husband and I had decided that we were going to exchange gifts but nothing too much - just a little something because it is just fun getting and giving nice gifts. You always think of the gifts for her but don’t forget the valentines gifts for him…they like gifts too!

Happy New Year
Posted on 01.01.08 by itscrazydelicious @

Nayppy New Year all!! I hope people didn’t test out to many new drinks this year. Time to make that diet resolution though. So have that last great big meal and have great desserts all day today and then start after the meal. In any case…make that resolution to start cooking great meals and desserts. It is fun to cook even if you are not that good at it!

Holiday Breakfast
Posted on 12.15.07 by itscrazydelicious @

So, what are you going to be eating for breakfast the next few days leading up to the holidays? There are so many great ideas out there that are just absolutely delicious. Mr. Breakfast has a great breakfast idea for you called the Breakfast Tree. I have yet to try this one but it sounds interesting and rather tasty. When I try this one I will update the post - it sounds very fattening…but yeah…it’s the holidays right :) I know it is now reason but oh well….

2 pkgs. refrigerated crescent rolls
2 tbsp. melted butter
2 oz. cream cheese
1 c. confectioners’ sugar
Red and green sugar
1 tsp. grated orange peel
3 tbsp. sugar
2 tbsp. orange juice
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Slice 2 packages of crescent rolls (do not unroll) into 11 equal pieces and flatten. On ungreased cookie sheet, arrange 10 pieces into a triangle to form tree. Use last piece to make trunk. Combine butter, sugar, and grated orange peel; brush on dough. Bake 20 minutes. Meanwhile, cream the cream cheese with powdered sugar and orange juice. Brush on baked rolls and sprinkle with red and green sugar.

Delightful Deliveries

I think that Wine Gift Baskets are just a great gift to get people. Whether it is for your boss or for your co-worker or just to have to bring to that holiday party that you will be going to. It makes for a nice gift especially for that someone in your life that just has everything and you just never quite know what to get. My father in law is like that. He has everything so the only things you can get him are fine wines because he is a connoisseur or nice wines. So, the wine gift basket is just perfect. It also makes for that great gift for other occasions too…but especially for the holidays if you ask me.

Delightful Deliveries is a great site that has a lot to offer. They are very user friendly and well organized so you will have no problems finding exactly that great gasket that is right for your and the recipient you are getting it for. And they have a great selection too - nuts and fruits, gourmet meals, baked goods and of course chocolate and candy…my personal favorite :) Their gourmet meal baskets look really good…everything from seafood to soups and meats. But what you have to check out is their chocolate towers because they are truly spectacular and just look so delicious.

They also offer monthly clubs for cookies, chocolates, beer, tea and even hot sauce to just name a few. And shipping is free..which is really great!! And they pride themselves on great customer support and satisfaction.

You can also shop by occasion like new baby, housewarming, I love you, holiday and happy birthday among others. This is really a great site that once you go on it and read up on all that they have to offer and once you see the delicious pictures you are just going to want to get a basket for your loved one and pick one up for yourself while you are at it!!

Bread For Gifts
Posted on 11.13.07 by itscrazydelicious @

I love to give food as gifts to certain people that I know will appreciate it. I just went to a bread party where you can buy different kinds of bread and there is one bread that I have made htat is delicious called Beer bread. But when you make food and breads for people you do not want to give them your good pans. So here is a great trick. Keep your old shoe boxes and line it with wax paper. It fits perfectly. This is great for those home made cookies also!

The Green Bean Cassarole
Posted on 11.07.07 by itscrazydelicious @

Here is a great green bean cassarole. There are many out there and they are all pretty much the same but I like this one because it really is quick and easy to make as well as being very tasty. I got this one from the Campbells site. There is just something about this recipe during the holiday time that just makes it so tasty. You have to have this on every holiday dinner table…it is just simply a must!

1 can (10 3/4 oz.) Campbell’s® Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup (Regular, 98% Fat Free or 25% Less Sodium)
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp. soy sauce
Dash ground black pepper
4 cups cooked cut green beans
1 1/3 cups French’s® French Fried Onions

MIX soup, milk, soy, black pepper, beans and 2/3 cup onions in 1 1/2-qt. casserole.

BAKE at 350°F. for 25 min. or until hot.

STIR . Sprinkle with remaining onions. Bake 5 min.

TIP: Use 1 bag (16 to 20 oz.) frozen green beans, 2 pkg. (9 oz. each) frozen green beans, 2 cans (about 16 oz. each) green beans or about 1 1/2 lb. fresh green beans for this recipe.

For a change of pace, substitute 4 cups cooked broccoli flowerets for the green beans.

For a creative twist, stir in 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese with soup. Omit soy sauce. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup additional Cheddar cheese when adding the remaining onions.

For a festive touch, stir in 1/4 cup chopped red pepper with soup.

For a heartier mushroom flavor, substitute Campbell’s® Condensed Golden Mushroom Soup for Cream of Mushroom Soup. Omit soy sauce. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped red pepper with green bean

Cookies By Design
Posted on 11.05.07 by itscrazydelicious @

Here is a great idea…you can make them yourselves. It is a basket of cookies that are cut out as hearts and flags. But if you are pressed for time and would like to get an arrangement of cookies for a veteran in your life then you may just want to check out the site cookies by design because they have a great selection! A little pricey but if you don’t like to cook this is a good option for you.

Posted on 10.17.07 by itscrazydelicious @

I had been looking for a recipe that had baby pumpkins and I came across this one. I just love pumpkins around this time of year. It really is a season food and taste if you ask me. And pumpkins are just so incredibly healthy for you too! Here is one I found that is interesting. I have yet to try it but I already printed it out and will be trying it either this weekend or next weekend. I am actually going pumpkin pickin this Saturday. I got it from MyRecipes

6 small pumpkins
1/3 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup whole milk
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon finely shredded parmesan cheese
2 eggs
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper

1. Preheat oven to 400°. Bake pumpkins until just tender, about 20 minutes. Cut off tops and set aside, then scoop out seeds.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together heavy cream and whole milk with garlic, parmesan cheese, eggs, salt, and white pepper. Pour mixture into a measuring cup.

3. Arrange pumpkins in a baking dish large enough to hold them without crowding. Divide custard mixture among pumpkins and cover with tops. Pour enough water into dish to reach halfway up sides. Bake until custard jiggles only slightly, about 30 minutes. Remove from dish and let cool 5 minutes.

Halloween Hot Dog Mummies
Posted on 10.16.07 by itscrazydelicious @

Here is one called Halloween Hot Dog Mummies. Really simple thing I found if you are in a hurry and just need something quick to make but you want to make sure your kids are going to eat it. So, you make them a little more fun to eat. I got this from the site Kitchen Hints and Tips. It has a couple other great halloween recipes and treats you may be interested in also.

Preheat your oven to 375º.

Open a package of raw bread stick dough and a package of hot dogs.

Starting from one end of the hot dog, wrap it with the bread stick dough leaving just a bit of the other end exposed.

Place onto ungreased baking dish and bake for 14-16 minutes, or until golden brown.

Remove from the oven, use mustard or ketchup to make dot eyes on the exposed hot dog.

Serve hot

Slime Juice
Posted on 10.16.07 by itscrazydelicious @

Really simple but if you kids do not really like juice maybe this is a way that they will actually drink it. The recipe is called Slime Juice.

12 oz Can Orange Juice Concentrate with plup
1 Gallon Water
