SOMETHING IS CRAZY WITH THIS NEW BLOGGING PAGE

I was not through blogging tonight and when I pull it up to edit - it would not let me - so here I am on the same night - continuing my post!!! I did put a picture of the mantle on the other post (with no label - no date, etc. I also want to show you a picture of the Cornbread Salad I made -- I am sure it will be at the top of this page - but first I want to share one more recipe! It is one I had never made until the other day and now I have made two of them (Travis loves them) and I will probably make it and maybe Lemon Bars for next Wednesday night!!

FUDGE PIE

1 Cup Sugar
1/2 Cup light Karo syrup*
1 Stick butter, melted
4 whole eggs
4 Tbsp. cocoa
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 unbaked 9 inch pie shell

Cream sugar, cocoa, butter and Karo syrup; add beaten eggs, vanilla and salt. Mix well. Add chopped pecans. Pour ino unbaked pie shell. Bake in 350 degree oven for 40 minutes. Can be topped with vanilla ice cream! Travis and his guys really "ate it all!"

* I used store brand - much less expensive and worked just as well!

I am also going to show you a precious picture of my three little angels, devils, cuties -- 3-in-one sometimes!!!

I really want to go to the Zest Fest this coming Saturday at the Irving Convention Center in Los Colinas. Food Network and Chile Pepper magazine will be there and it just sounds like my kind of deal. Well - we'll see!

I know I had promised a new and improved blog -- I have been shown how to have my own domain - cool huh - joncarole.com -- and how to add pages, etc., but there has been no time to work on it -- and I sure don't want to lose any of my readers! There was an awesome article in the Dallas paper today about a lady who moved from Texas to New York and had an awesome job but started a blog about how lonesome she was for Texas and its Mexican food. She then gave recipes, pictures,etc. Her blog has grown to 5000. Well - that sounds awesome (and now she has a book deal - but I love my 19 visitors! Thank you for sticking with me. I hope I give you something - either a recipe or some spiritual inspiration you can use. God bless you for joining me!!!!
