Purse Posse was recommended as a good place to look for recipes...anyone with a Praline Pecan recipe is invited to send it to me !! Thanks, y'all....Pam at SoToSpeak Praline Pecans -- Help Requested I was in South Carolina and we stopped at this place called Sparky's. They had the best praline pecans I have ever had in my entire life. I know this is not a common request for our blog, but does anyone know how to make these? They take pecan halves and get a praline crunchy candy coating, then they are apparently rolled in a sugary-salty mixture...maybe baked somehow or made in a pan on the stove. This is NOT a praline candy: it is toasted pecans with this unbelievable coating. I have googled till my fingers ache and can't find out how in the heck you do this. (Yes, I can email Sparky's and order them at some high cost, but I would rather make them up at home...by the truckload!) For all my friends who know I am NOT a cooking freak, no -- I have not gone insane. Just nuts for these nuts! If anyone can give me some tips, thanks!

Here is a recipe I found in the paper last week. Made a batch last night, yummy and easy. OREO FUDGE:1 PACKAGE OF WHITE CHOCOLATE MORSELS,3/4 CAN SWEETENED CONDENSED MILK,2 CUPS OF CRUSHED OREO COOKIES. In a large saucepan on medium to low heat melt morsels in the milk. Stir continuosly to keep from scorching.When morsels are melted,add crushed cookies and stir until well mixed. Pour into a buttered or non stick pan. Refrigerate at least an hour (preferably longer). Cut into serving peices and enjoy. Also, anyone have a quick and simple recipe for homemade bread. I had one years ago that included cheese and can't find it. ^Belle^

Thanks for posting my dilemma. I always do appetizers, I find it better than the main course most of the time. We usually do a formal dinner at Mom's for Christmas Eve but decided since we have 5 little ones and two teens and 8 adults, we'll do a child friendly menu. All I can think of is pigs in a blanket........I want to do adult stuff and kiddy stuff.........any suggestions would be helpful. And yes, stuffing those little mushrooms takes up a lot of time. Where's my Italian blog friends? Mamamiah where are you? Cia help!

Here is part of a comment that Scratch left in the suggestion dept.:

"No I really DO like to cook, I wasn't trying to be funny I have been doing it since I was eleven years old, my mom told me that it was a skill that would always serve anyone that could do it, its a life skill, I have a slow cooker by the way, but I would rather cook a in a dutch oven. I'm a food network addict and have cookbooks by Emeril Lagasse and others."

Scratch, all purses aside, I hope we can all compare notes and do what this blog was set up to do - help each other. And, Scratch I'm truly glad you are interested because it sounds to me like you can give us a lot good suggestions and ideas too! Thanks, my friend.

So, does anybody have any suggestions for Scratch, preferably meals that can be prepared in a dutch oven?
