Company....its whats for dinner!

So today I find that we are having out of town unexpected company. NOW this may throw some into a tizzy but me? I just roll with it. YAH RIGHT. Me and my control issues had a hay day with this. What am I gonna make?


I thought about it for a second and decided to make a dish I made just last week. The name? Uhh well, its kinda embarrassing. I mean its does not have fancy words in the name like bachemel sauce or crepe or fondue or anything with a REALLY fancy name. Its called "Easiest~Ever Beef and Wine Casserole" REALLY???? I mean come ON, they should have come up with a better name than that! But seriously it IS the easiest ever. The taste? Well its really amazing.

So you take beef, onions, WINE (who wouldn't love that) beef broth, flour and bread crumbs (what???) and dump it ALL in and bake at 300 for 3-6 hours. UH....YES I will make this a regular rotation!

I am also making the best EVER bread (my words) Here is the link and when they say shaggy its true its shaggy. Seriously never heard that about a bread dough before but tis true.

You simply must try it. Warm with a pat of butter, oh with a TON of butter, after all my friend does say that bread is simply the mode for getting the butter to thy mouth! This bread could stand alone.

And then I will make glazed carrots from my garden and a salad....because we all know what I am REALLY after....



DESSERT! Ok seriously the very very VERY best Cheesecake I have ever had. Pumpkin...ahh sweet pumpkin. I did however change the crust and used. Anna ginger thins (available at Costco in BULK) So here is this recipe.

Trust me, this is so worth the effort. I also think you could half the recipe and be just fine!
