Window Shopper

I was watching Good Morning America the other day when they had this sort of challenge among the anchors on who had the best Mac and Cheese. As I watched it, I found it to be funny as all get out. They asked a couple of people from the audience to go up and taste test the four possibilities, one from Chris Cuomo, one from Diane Sawyer, a dish from Robin Roberts and a dish from their weather guy, Sam Champion. All looked like they had really good mac and cheese dishes but the truth would come out at the taste test.

The people they brought up were a mom and young girl, age 5. They actually all thought that their dishes would be good. When the girl tasted Chris’s dish, she gave a really bad face. LOL! The other three were apparently good but the best turned out to be Robin’s dish which was the healthiest of the bunch anyway due to her recent bouts with health problems. But the topper that was so funny was when visiting star, John Schneider tasted the dish Chris had made himself, he said that it tasted like mac, cheese and old socks!!! LOL!! That did it.

Personally, I happen to like the mac and cheese I make as well as the dish my sister has made in the past. Both of ours are well liked by all who taste them and that’s as good as it gets!!!

Once the holidays get into the swing, we found that we need some pretty great recipes to have on hand for the festivities. The usual include the turkey and dressing, of course, but many people had turkey for Thanksgiving so they want something else. My Mom does fix a really good ham that she slices up for sandwiches since we have a big family gathering to open presents. We do not just open a few here. There are a bunch so it takes quite a while. Mom does not want to have to do a lot of cooking and neither do I.

So, we get out the good recipes like Quick Onion Dip my husband has on his cooking blog called Tin Foil Chef. He actually has several that work nicely for the holidays. One is the ever popular Green Bean Casserole.

Other places have such wonderful recipes as Christmas Snowball Cookies from Feeding Time At The Zoo, a pretty yummy looking Crispy Chicken from Start Cooking and a whole list of holiday goodies from Tinka-Bella.

Why not give these recipes a try over the holidays. If you do not see what you like, give me a quick note in the comments and I will try to find what you’re looking for. Thanks for visiting my blog.

Happy Shopping!!
