Keeping Honest...

By -
I never finished my November accountability for the food! Tuesday, we dug through our gift card pile and picked a winner! Cracker Barrel seemed like a great place to go on a chilly night - we could visit that warm fire that they always keep going.

We dined well, even shared a piece of pie ala mode for dessert and had to pay $6 out of pocket, and that included tip!

On the way home, we stopped at Sentry quick for a few things: milk and toilet paper. HOW I ran out of TP is beyond me -- It turned out that I had two large packs of paper towels in the basement instead a one with one pack of TP.
(gggrrrrrrrr.....)
Sentry came to $10.83

SOOOOO, let's do November's math:

$100
-9.92 - first Target run
-------

-17.83 - second Target run

$32.03
-$3.83 for Copps week 2
------
$28.20
-$4.58 for Copp's week 3
------

Cookie Exchange Parties are SO MUCH FUN - for a few simple reasons:You get together with your friends You make only ONE kind of cookie and finish your holiday baking, after swapping out You get new recipes You often have snacks or games! That being said, I do one every year - in December, about 2 weeks before Christmas. (You can read about it HERE or see a TV segment I did on it http://youtu.be/-iUR7GlAiQw ). I thought it would be fun to have a collection of 30 fun recipes to try - one a day in November - so you can be prepared for that holiday baking!

I know this sounds strange -- and yummy at the same time, LOL You need to know the family history to "get it". We are part German, part English, part Irish and part Tennessee Hillbilly. Seriously. Did you ever see that black and white movie of Gary Cooper's called Sergeant York? Yes, my family comes from the Dyer/Yorks -- same family. Some of the "family recipes" are too far out there for even me to try... But this is a pot luck favorite. SUPER Easy and SUPER Easy to make healthier. We choose the middle of the road option, LOL You need:  1 package hot dog buns (8 ct) 1 package hot dogs 2 cups chili (or 1 can) 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese "fixins" That's it! You could do gluten free or whole grain wheat buns, turkey or tofu dogs, vegetarian chili, vegan or light cheese, you get the drift. We do white buns, cut them up and place in the 9x13 pan, like you see here: Then you dice up the hot dogs
