THINKING THANKSGIVING – Ham Biscuits
Ham biscuits are always in my freezer. I serve them for many different occasions….as an appetizer, with a soup and salad, for breakfast or brunch. They are always on hand. Don’t miss my 2 videos at the end of the recipe! Yes, I know they are sideways, but it is about the biscuits, not about…
DetailsRaspberry Muffins

Squash Blossom Beignets

DetailsTHINKING THANKSGIVING – Spiced Pecans
Both are at the top of the family’s ‘must have’ list at Thanksgiving and Christmas and are part of the pre-dinner appetizers. Along with Ham Biscuits, and maybe, Pimento Cheese Stuffed Celery, this is all that is needed before the big meal. Of course, they can be done weeks ahead of time.
