Get Your Bite On

 Christmas is only a few days away and that means it's time to start baking and preparing for family get-togethers. Appetizers and desserts are at the top of the list for my favorite holiday treats. I wanted to make something easy and delicious, and that's when I came across this recipe for Hash Brown Bites.

They are fairly simple, yet packed with flavor. Red and green peppers add that holiday flair. These little things are really good and they're sure to be loved by many. My husband tends to be a picky eater and I couldn't keep him away from these. 

A BLT Pie You Must Try!

As you know by now, I love tag sales. I'm also a big fan of flea markets. There's not much to do in Ohio (except visit nature preserves. . . we have some beautiful land).  So, starting on Thursdays it's always treasure hunt time. 

This past Friday, my husband, sons, and I went to a flea market. I wasn't looking for anything in particular, but I ended up finding some useful stuff. I found a stool for my kitchen for a whopping $3 and some old cookbooks. If you know anything about old cookbooks, you know that they are treasure troves of recipe gems. I found about a dozen for $2. Deal! One of the cookbooks I found is called Celebrate American Cooking and it was published for Betty Crocker back in 1989. This would be called a 'vintage' book nowadays. I call it awesome!
