Same here, plus one for work and a few of my friends asked if I wouldn't mind making one for them. I think I'm up to 5 pies
Enjoy and you're very welcome

Make any bread dough, roll it out in the shape you want, and fry in oil til golden. Or use frozen bread dough thawed.
I wish I knew how to cook.
Grandma did not become a good cook over night....she has been cooking for a lot of years. I have been cooking for about 30 years now and I am still not as good as grandma, but I am getting there ( since I am a granny now LOL!!! ). Any way, what I mean is start now learning how to cook, get help from older cooks that you know, that's what I did...My family ate my cooking all those years, they just got used to eating my bad cooking, but I never gave up. Could not afford to eat out all the time. And now, I am glad I cooked all those years because I know if I keep doing it I will be as good as grandma one day!! LOL!!!! And I enjoy it!!!!

Just beat together equal parts of cooked pumpkin (canned is fine), honey and soft butter together, add more honey if you like it sweeter. It's great on any fried bread dough. Will last in fridge for almost two weeks. I freeze some in little containers for a quick snack on bagels or to melt on sauteed chicken ect. You can't mess this up, it's so easy you'll think that you can cook
Sorry, this is honey pumpkin butter, a quicker condiment and different than real pumpkin butter.

I love to cook also. Been cooking since I was a kid. It's one of those things you get better at as the years go by. I think a big part of being a good cook is just going for it. Don't worry if you don't have a recipe, or have to substitute ingredients. Your confidence grows each time you have an idea that turns out good. If it doesn't, oh well. Trial and error. It's only food. This form of cooking has taught me more than any recipe ever could. I tend to use recipes as an outline and cater it to my families taste.

My mom's a great cook. We don't go out to eat but once a week. I can cook but not like some on here. The dinner threads make my mouth drop sometimes!
I will definately try the Honey Pumpkin Butter recipe that Been Spur'd posted.I do this a lot too.....

I want some new ideas. I'd really like to try an oyster stuffing. Any good recipes out there?
I have made this one and it is really good!!!!
Oyster Dressing
• 4 tablespoons butter, divided
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 4 green onions, chopped
• 2 stalks celery, chopped
• 3 cups crumbled cornbread
• 3 cups soft bread crumbs
• 1/2 cup minced fresh parsley
• salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 pint shucked oysters, drained, reserve 1/2 cup liquid
Preheat oven to 350°.
Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Sauté onions and celery in the butter until tender, not browned.
Combine cornbread and bread crumbs in a large bowl; mix in sautéed onions, salt, pepper, and parsley.
Add beaten eggs and toss more; moisten with the oyster liquid until moist but not soggy.
Gently stir in the oysters.
Pat the mixture into a large lightly buttered rectangular baking pan (it should make a 1-inch layer in the pan). Dot with remaining butter and bake about 45 minutes, until golden brown and set in the center.

I can't imagine oysters in dressing. I mean, I like oysters and I love dressing...but...together?? I guess the oysters would add moisture but is the dressing itself...um, 'oyster-y' tasting?

I'm just stuffing the hams. Mom is doing the rest.
I'm lucky that she HATES help when she's cooking. I sure wish she felt the same about the dishes.
Fried pickles? Never had 'em. Sounds gross.
How do you make you stuffed ham?
