So.. I've been getting to watch lots of food tv.. and most times the recipes are just plain WEIRD :giggle but some of the time there's some really good things. And I've come up with 3 that sound worth a try.

1) Dried Fruit Cookies

These are almost like mini fruit cakes but with the dried fruit they should taste so much better ;) Anyway of course my first thought was Christmas.. and I might make some (supervise child actually making) for gifts in addition to other things as well.. but then I also thought they might be fun at Thanksgiving.

2) Chocolate Pecan Cobbler

This my thought was definately Thanksgiving.. we usually have 3-4 types of pies.. and one is a chocolate pecan pie.. though I LOVE regular pecan pie.. I thought this would be a bit different and give us something a bit different than the chocolate pecan pie.

3)Melon Juice with Champagne

Now I went looking for something that combined cantelope and blueberries and this looks wonderful. I also want to experiment with substituting the champagne.. sparkling water, sprite, sparkling juice.. It would be a fun Cocktail/Mocktail for a fancy holiday brunch.

I would love to hear about something you're thinking of trying.. or even an old favorite that might be a bit different

mmmm I was just thinking a nice soft caramel recipe would be great..

You know the caramels that are in little squares and wrapped up.. you can buy them in a big bag.. are they brach's? carnation? something like that.. but they're chewy but not sticky..
