We have a local store that makes 'pigs'. Years ago we had a department store that made them, when they closed the mould and recipe went to O'Sheas. It is a pig shaped piece of coconut creme dipped in heavenly dark chocolate....it's my childhood!

LOOKING for: Your favorite vegetable side dish

I have become addicted to Mock Mashed Potatoes made with cauliflower! I had seen the recipes from time to time, but never thought they would really taste like real mashed potatoes -- but they do. My preparation is very simple. I've seen it with Ranch Dressing or non-fat Ranch Dressing added to it also. Steam a head of cauliflower until very soft. Mash. Add I Can't Believe It's Not Butter & salt to taste. ---------------------------------------------------------- Here's another one, a bit more complicated but still easy: Mock Mashed Potatoes Your guests will probably never know that these rich mashed potatoes contain no potatoes at all. They are made from cauliflower. Great for low-carb diets. These are doubly good with bacon bits added. INGREDIENTS: 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets (discard core and large stems) 1 (14 ounces) can chicken or vegetable broth (or homemade - about 1-3/4 cups) 2 Tbsp butter 2 ounces cream cheese 2 Tbsp sour cream 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese 1/4 cup sliced green onions, white and green parts Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste PREPARATION: 1. Place cauliflower florets in a large saucepan. Add chicken broth and bring to a boil. 2. Cover and simmer until very tender, about 12 minutes. 3. Drain thoroughly through a fine sieve and return to the pot over low heat. 4. Cook about 2 more minutes to dry out excess moisture, stirring constantly. (It's okay that they break apart.) Pour cauliflower into food processor fitted with the metal blade. 5. Add butter, cream cheese, sour cream, cheddar cheese, green onion, salt, and pepper. Pulse to combine. Reheat before serving, if necessary.

can't find the recipe tonight, but about 30 years ago a woman where I worked brought the best potato salad to a holiday spread! It involves diced potatoes, dill, mayo (I still remember her cautioning us, "No Miracle Whip; it gives it a whang!"), & vinegar, & you mix in some mashed hardboiled eggs & top it with a few sliced ones. My Aunt Bea used to make something she called Heavenly Rice, the recipe for which nobody thought to ask for, & now she's gone. It involved cooked, chilled rice, shredded coconut, & chunk or shredded canned pineapple. I'd really love to have that again. just remembered: Years ago, I had to go "home" for Thanksgiving. My father was ill, & I didn't dare not show up, although trips to the old homestead always gave me what I now know to be migraines & I have deteriorated bone & teeth from the grinding that I did in my sleep after a visit. so I went. with trepidation. My mother always insisted on cooking the turkey & dressing, & there was no telling how it would come out. One year it was like eating ground sage straight out of the can, one year she forgot to add something to the brownies, can't remember if it was sugar or cocoa... This year the turkey looked stringy & "wet", & just as I decided to try the world's smallest bite of it, my brother's wife said, "This is really different, Mama, what kind is it?", & my mother replied, "wild. Daddy shot it the other day." I know many people have no problem with this kind of thing, but I couldn't eat it, felt like I knew its personal life story or something. For a few years after that, my traditional Thanksgiving Day included tacos from the Jack in the Box that I passed before I got "home"!

What's your favorite watermelon dish?

The sherbet is great! But I didn't make the actual recipe. :) The original recipe is from BakedByRachel. My cream had gone off so I substituted a pure yoghurt which has no thickeners, isn't too tart and comes in a big jar. And I didn't want to use chocolate chips, so thought blueberries would make a nice mix in. 2 C pure watermelon juice, chilled 1 1/2 C White Mountain plain yoghurt, full fat 3/4 C granulated sugar Pinch salt 1/2 C+ fresh blueberries In the ice cream freezer bowl, combine chilled pure watermelon juice (I used a slow juicer machine) with sugar and salt, stirring to dissolve sugar. Stir in yoghurt. Churn for a long time (50 minutes?). Add blueberries when it's mostly churned. Freeze in a chilled thermal container. Makes 2 pints.

I'm always asked to bring some corn. I freeze a bunch in the summer, and it's always so good about now. And it needs to be used up to make room for this summers batch.

I'm not very original... my favorite for Easter is deviled eggs!

More original is the dish I was asked to bring to my sister-in-law's house for Easter dinner this year. She said her son has been asking for it since they were here at Thanksgiving.

This is a not so healthy dish...

1 Cup dry macarooni
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 stick (1/2 cup) margerine or butter
1 can cream style corn
1 teaspoon onion flakes

Mix and bake until the macarooni is soft - about an hour. It's my youngest sister's recipe and I have never fed this to anyone who didn't love it.

If I am going to someone else's for Easter I almost always take pies. Usually I take a lot of things if it is at one of my girl's homes. Usually at least a black raspberry pie. Black raspberries are a more expensive fruit around here. The church always asked me to bring pies for certain events as they know we pick in our own woods and I almost always have them.

We are going to Dear SIL & BIL for brunch & this recipe was requsted:
BAKED FRENCH TOAST

Cook Time45 min

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Ingredients
1 loaf French bread (13 to 16 ounces)
Butter, for pan
8 large eggs
2 cups half-and-half
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Dash salt
Praline Topping, recipe follows
Raspberry Syrup, recipe follows
Directions
Slice French bread into 20 slices, 1-inch thick each. (Use any extra bread for garlic toast or bread crumbs). Arrange slices in a generously buttered 9 by 13-inch flat baking dish in 2 rows, overlapping the slices.

In a large bowl, combine the eggs, half-and-half, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt and beat with a rotary beater or whisk until blended but not too bubbly. Pour mixture over the bread slices, making sure all are covered evenly with the milk-egg mixture. Spoon some of the mixture in between the slices. Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.

The next day, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spread Praline Topping evenly over the bread and bake for 45 minutes, until puffed and lightly golden. Serve with Raspberry Syrup.

Praline Topping:
1/2 pound (2 sticks) butter

1 cup packed light brown sugar

1 cup chopped pecans

2 tablespoons light corn syrup

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and blend well. Spread over bread as directed above.

Raspberry Syrup:
1 cup raspberry preserves

3 tablespoons water

2 tablespoons raspberry liqueur (recommended: Framboise)

Combine ingredients in a small saucepan and place over medium heat. Stir until warm and thinned out like syrup.

ham and a fruit compote of some kind...

Not a big dish, but special to me in a way. My former neighbor who was from Pennsylvania always made red eggs. Just hard cooked eggs peeled and steeped in beet pickle juice for several days. Very tasty, served with the pickled beets and onion slices also marinated in the beet juice. I always think of those nice neighbors at this time of year.

As unconventional as it is, I usually bring stuffed jumbo shells to serve with the traditional ham. The family loves it.

I usually do the whole shebang. But, I've been sick and canceled Easter with Kiddos. But, I still have one of Deans Buddies coming for a visit. They can go out to eat.

I usually do: Ham, Sweet Potatoes, Black Eyed Peas, Turnip Greens and Cornbread with a slice of onion. Have DD, GN, and DIL bring desserts and appetizers. Grands and I dye eggs. Then we devil them.
