Sorry for the long lack of posting. I took a nice long Holiday reak. I have decided it is time to get back to real life now.

Pretzel Turtles
Rolo candies - one bag has about 55 candies
Pecan halves - or optionally peanuts, cashews, and m&m's
Optional: almond bark or white chocolate for drizzling
Place pan in the oven for 3-4 minutes. Any longer is probably too long. You just want the chocolate on the outside to look glossy and melty, but they should still hold their shape.Remove pan from oven and take a pecan and gently press it right into the center of the chocolate candy.
Let cool before removing from teh tray.

Potato Crescent Rolls
Potato Rolls
1 c. warm milk
1 c. instant mashed potatoes
1 Tbsp yeast
½ c. warm water
2/3 c oil
1 tsp salt
½ c. sugar
2 eggs
6 c. flour
Mix 1 c. milk with 1 c. potatoes. Mix yeast with warm water and stir to dissolve. Put a pinch of sugar in this and let it set until activated (bubbly on top). Mix potatoes, oil, salt, & sugar. Add yeast and eggs. Mix and add flour a little at a time, until the dough is no longer sticky. Let it rise until doubled- about 1 hour. Separate dough into 4 even sections. Roll out on a floured surface and put about 2 Tbsp of vegetable oil on the dough rub it out evenly. Cut into 8 crescent shapes (like a pizza). Roll up and pinch ends. Bake 15 min at 400 degrees.

Modified Pumpkin Cookies & Thanksgiving Recipes
I had a bunch of kids over this weekend & they wanted pumpkin cookies. I didn't have time to get to the store & did not have a spice cake mix on hand. So here's what I did:
1 yellow cake mix
1 can pumpkin
1 tsp cinnamon
3/4 tsp cloves
3/4 tsp nutmeg
chocolate chips.
Bake 375 degrees for 15 minutes. It's just like the recipe I posted before, but it's modified for when you don't have a spice cake mix on hand. They were just as delicious.
Does anyone have any essential Holiday Recipes that they couldn't live without? I'd love to hear some of yours. Below are links to some of my favorites. I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving weekend!!!
