Much Requested Corn Bread Dressing Recipe Happy Thanksgiving

Hello to all my foodies friends out there in web land Happy Thanksgiving to you all this 2013.  Am going to keep this very short tonight.  Just wanted you to know how grateful I'm to be able to be with my family and friends this season.  I live on an airport and last night we had a plane crash which killed the pilot and my prayers go out to his family and friends who will be missing him very much this Thanksgiving.  I also want to thank the families of the pilot because he landed that plane into the woods instead of hitting a house along our street.  As we know out here he was an instructor so I know in my heart that is what he meant to do is to save lives but not his own.  To me he is a hero and God Bless him.  That said am ending this blog with great big hugs for his family.

Several of you have asked for this recipe so am sending it your way now.

Article Pumpkins Link Cranberry Sauce It's What's For Eats

http://www.aikenstandard.com/article/20131120/AIK0405/131129973/0/SEARCH&slId=1 Hello to all my foodies friends out there in web land I hope all is well.  Well I've been busy with catering for friends of coarse I consider all my customers my family and friends.  If you are in the USA or living abroad this Thanksgiving I hope that you can introduce some friends with you how we celebrate our Thanksgiving season and why we celebrate it.  The pilgrims celebrated living though another year in this country and can you imagine being a pilgrim in the 1600's in the new America's so far away from your homeland.  How thankful they must have been for all that they had.  They had to relay on the Indians to help them adopt sort- of-speak.  Am sure they were very grateful for any help I know that I would be.  Have you thought about what is a Cranberry?  It comes from an evergreen dwarf shrubs. They grow in the Northern hemisphere.  Cranberries are used for juices, sauce, jam, died cranberry, and of coarse served as Cranberry Sauce for our traditional American and Canadian Thanksgivings.  Its called a Super fruit because of its Anti-oxidants. I use died cranberries in my signature salads and also in baking breads.  I just did a show on, "The Watchmen Channel", Club 36  and we made Turkey Panini using my left over turkey and dressing so I added some fresh cranberry sauce in the mix.  I also did a catering job and stuffed cranberries with apples and raisins and wrapped the Chicken breast with Bacon, that was a big hit.  I also poured my Apple Wine Sauce on top of the breast while they roasted, they said it was yummy.  Any who I want you to know that this Thanksgivng am very happy to be Loved by my family and am thankful I still have my healthcare.  Now that's another story.  Please come and like my fan page on Face Book Cooking With MadJon & Friends. I'd like 5 more likes to reach 1000.  Watch the cooking show on aikenstandard.tv or com.  I have a few You Tubes up that you may watch.  My email address is madjon51@aol.com for any recipes you'd like to send me or comments to leave.  Go like my article on the link I left on top of the page.  Happy Thanksgiving to one and all.  Happy trails until we meet again.  Eileen Hutson, MadJon.

How to Cook a Bagged Thanksgiving Turkey with Apple Wine Sauce

Hello to all my foodie friends out in web land hope all is well.  Madjon here and today we are going to talk about bagging a roasted turkey for one of your holiday meals.  Personally I like Turkey, roasted and fried.  I like the crispness of the turkey when it's fried and I use a rub on it before I fry it.  I have a blog on making a fried turkey you should go visit it.   Any who am shooting with the Watchmen Channel 49 out of North Augusta today and we will be cooking up some Turkey Panini Sandwiches with fresh cranberry sauce and dressing served on Sour Dough Bread.  It's one of the recipes in my MadJon Holiday e-cookbook for ipads.  You know I don't know when they started serving Turkey as a Thanksgiving Day food.  The pilgrims started a very good holiday I think way back in the 1600's.  Am very thankful that they came to this country and were brave enough to make a living here.  You know the Native American Indians helped out the pilgrims by introducing new foods and ways to live in this country for that am very thankful as well.  After all I'm half Native American Indian.  I could get into how the Indians lost there lands to the white man as they were called.  My grandmother lived on a reservation in Oklahoma and married my grandfather on a river boat in Tennessee.  There is Native American Indian on both sides of my family.  Both grandmothers had Indian blood in them.  Any who that's a story for another day.  Let's get you a couple more recipes and make sure that you watch the show on TV or on the web.  Please contact me at madjon51@aol.com with any questions about these recipes or a recipe that you may need some help with.  Watch my tv shows at aikenstandard.tv or aikenstandard.com.  Bona Y'all and Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.  Happy trails to you until we meet again.

Grands Coconut Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Cookies

Hello to all my foodie friends out there in web land I hope you are doing just fine on this nice fall evening.  I've been busy with grand kids this week and doctor's appointment's and am happy to say we did not lose our health insurance but my heart goes out to everyone else who did.  I want to say how sorry I'm and I hope it will get fixed soon for everyone concerned.  Any who am here to talk about Obama Care.  Am  here to talk about this recipe I made up today for my grands who were home from school.  Making cookies is something I did with my kids and its something I do for my grands to enjoy along with their Pa Pa.  Trying to make memories though foods, that's how I remember my aunts and grandma in the kitchen baking and doing the women thing while the men were in the fields working.  My family would bake all kinds of cakes and pies, fruit pies and cream pies and I loved the crust made with fresh Lard.  Nothing better then to bake with fresh Lard however I don't bake that way but I have girlfriends who still use it.  They go to the butcher and pick up the fresh lard and it is so white it looks like snow. You know I used to think it was our daughter that ate all the cookies in the house but I found out after the kids left home that it has been my hubby who was the cookie monster all the time and he let Terri, our daughter take the blame, shame on him.   Such is life I guess however our daughter still likes cookies a lot.   Another thing is he can eat all the cookies in the house and still lose five pounds, go figure!  Oh well am into exercising now and trying really hard not to eat cookies but I must confess I ate a couple while they were still warm with some milk.  While my grands were here today I decided to try and bake a different kind of Chocolate Chip Cookie so I added Cream Cheese to it and it had to bake longer and it came out crispy not a chewy cookie.  My grand daughter is the taster in her house and I knew if she ate one cookie then it was a good recipe but she ate three cookies and then took some more home so I'd call these a great cookie..  Any who go make some memories at your house with kids or just the one you love.  Please let me know what you think of these cookies and if you would like me to put up a recipe for you.  My email address is madjon51@aol.com and you may watch the shows at aikenstandard.tv or com.  Come like my fan page on face book Cooking With MadJon & Friends. Last but not lest share me and come follow me on this thing called a blog, please.
