  Tapioca pudding brings the memories flooding back!  It has always been a staple at Christmastime.  I have made this a few times in the past and I have not been able to get it perfect yet.  Today, it was just about perfect!  I thought I had messed it up again because it did set up, but when you scoop out a serving, the rest of the pudding filled in the hole.  I asked my uncle about that and he informed me that is how it is supposed to be. Last year, I don't know what went wrong, but it never set up.  This time, I paid close attention to the instructions and it actually worked! As you can see above, the recipe is a bit all over the place.  Some of it is left up to interpretation.  Here is what I did: 3/4 Cup        Tapioca (I used 1 cup because I do what I want.) 3 Cups          Milk (Whole Milk is recommended) 1/4 Cup         Cornstarch 3/4 Cup         Sugar...

Presents! :-) My Plate! We have a tradition of celebrating Christmas with all the kids and grandkids on the Saturday after Christmas. Everyone is welcome to come over on Christmas day if possible, but my stepkids and their children have in-laws and other parents to visit. So, I decided to take the pressure off them and insure that I get a good day with them, without them having to rush off! It's worked out well. This year, Kayleigh, Joe and Jack had to stay home with baby Benjamin, since he's so young and susceptible to the flu and respiratory illness that's out there! I received an early Christmas present from my foodie friend Mary over at  All Things Food - Cooking with Mary and Friends . She brought me one of the turkeys that she received from Paradise Acre Farm .  Tom and Denise offer awesome pastured poultry, eggs and gluten free baked goods that they sell at the Rosewood Market in Columbia, SC.

Merry Christmas everyone!  A long-standing tradition in this house has been the one and only Peanut Butter Balls.  It just isn't Christmas without them!  I remember there were a few times in the past that on the night of December 23rd, Mom would be working late to get last-minute things done before taking a few days off to enjoy the holiday.  That would mean that the making of the Peanut Butter Balls wouldn't begin until late into the night.  Lucky me, I got to stay up late and make them with Mom! Yay!  We would be rolling the balls at Midnight.  At 2:00 am, we would be dipping them in chocolate.  If that isn't dedication to a tradition, I don't know what is. The tradition must go on!  It is Christmas Eve and I have the family coming over for dinner tonight.  Chili, cornbread, tamales, tapioca pudding, and peanut butter balls are on the menu!  I can't wait to eat!  We have been out of town the last few days, so I am just gettin...
