Best Thanksgiving Recipe & Meet my Dad

Nothing says Thanksgiving like Pumpkin Pie.

Funny Thing: I went years thinking I didn't like pumpkin pie and then I actually tried it- and realized I love Pumpkin Pie!

I also love cheesecake...so what could be better than combining them both! This is my Pumpkin Cheesecake recipe and video.

BONUS: In this video you get to meet my dad and witness his famous egg trick! ha ha ha

I love my dad!

Some of you have already seen this video and have emailed me that this has become a "new" pie tradition at your homes! I love that!

HAPPY THANKFUL THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!

World's best crepe recipe!

i found a crepe recipe...that has become quite a problem...

i whipped up a batch the other night at 10:30pm!!! and what would some crepes be without some homemade vanilla whipped creme!!! ahhhhhh these are a sin....

you too can share in the ridiculous, taste bud delirium....i danced around the living room for an extra 30 minutes  just to cancel out the extra calories....

here lies:

 The World's Best Crepe Recipe:

1 cup milk (or I make it with 2 cups milk and forget the 1/2 cup water below)

1/2 cup water

2 table spoons butter (melted)

1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 eggs

MIX ALL THESE TOGETHER in a bowl (of course)

then stir in

1 cup of flour

in pan or griddle...put a little (or a lot...ha ha) of butter 

 pour batter then swirl pan so you cover then whole pan in a "paper-thin"-ish batter coating....cook until top side looks dry and bubbly..flip then fold in thirds, flop on your plate...put a little more butter, sprinkle with powder sugar....and then, if you dare...make this whipped creme...and go to flavor heaven!

 World's Best Homemade Whipped Cream

(yes this is my no-so-secret whipped cream recipe)

1 small carton of heavy whipping creme (about 1 cup)

2 teaspoons vanilla

(extra tip: put bowl and whipping cream in freezer for a couple minutes before whipping it)

whip together with mixer on med-hi speed until it start to form peaks

add in slowly

2 tablespoons of powder sugar

beware, you too, may develop a crepe addiction....for those overwhelmed by the goodness....i'll be starting a support group...or, i will refuse to buy any of the ingredients so i won't be tempted to make them..

i wish i had heavy whipping cream right now.......

the dangers of watching the Food Network means you get a blog post about crepes...and I have to wipe  drool off the keyboard....hungry and typing about crepes...kandee
