Fun Friday!

If you are just joining us, Friday's blog is a fun and interactive way to get you all involved! I will share a recipe or tip of some sorts and ask you a question that you can answer by posting in the comment section below. This only works if you join in on the fun....so let's get started!

This week's recipe is a guaranteed crowd pleaser! I am including it in today's blog because it is perfect for munching on at your Thanksgiving parties. WARNING: if you bring this to a get-together you will be expected to bring it every year!

Carmel Puffed Corn

1 bag of puffed corn (original)
1/2 c. butter
1c. brown sugar
1/2 c. light corn syrup
1 tsp baking soda

Spray large roasting pan (I use two 9x13 casserole dishes) with cooking spray.
In a saucepan melt butter, sugar and corn syrup and bring to a boil.
When it starts to boil add baking soda.
Boil mixture for two minutes (will get foamy).
Pour over puffs and stir until puffs are coated evenly.
Bake @ 250 degrees for 45 minutes stirring every 10 minutes.
When the puffs are done baking, take out of pan and pour onto a large, clean surface. Break apart puffs immediately to avoid large clumps.
Store in an airtight container.

Ok, so here's your question:  This year has flown by like crazy! I can't believe Thanksgiving is almost here already! What is one thing you are thankful for that has happened this past year. Be specific too, none of the "my family, my friends, my dog" stuff. Let's get real with each other.

I am thankful that we survived 2 months of no income what-so-ever. My husband had been laid off for a year and a half when the government voted to end extensions for unemployment. We went 2 months living on what we had saved which wasn't much. But we made it! From people making a meal for us to being able to eat from our garden, God provided the entire time!  Brad found a job at the end of July and we feel like we have learned and grown so much over this past year.

Happy Thanksgiving!



Until next time...
