I know its bad but I like to mix a little velvetta in with my mac and cheese.

I was thinking about this thread today when I picked up some red and green bell peppers from the farmers market. I cut them up and put them in the freezer. My husbands Dad had some of the nicest carrots in the garden. I diced up about 6-8 pounds and put in the freezer for soups and stuff. I wish I had the room for a small freezer. All I have is the one over the fridge.

Don't feel bad, janie!

I was raised on Velveeta and today I like to balk at it- cause afterall, it is kind of a "cheesy" product (HA!) but I too still use it in certain things. I like it's gooey creaminess in mac & cheese and also in a taco-dip crock-pot recipe for munchy parties and super bowl and stuff like that... It's got a strong richness that I can't eat alone though, or on crackers or grilled cheese sandwiches like I did when I was a kid- just too robust of a taste for me for many things...

Then of course there's always Paula Deene's recipe for Christmas Fudge that believe it or not, calls for it!

I have the book with that recipe in it lol.
Have never brought myself to try it though.
Im pretty fond of my fudge recipe..it was my Moms.

You got a birthday coming soon. On the 7th right?

Happy Birthday!

I have made Paula's Velveeta Fudge recipe, janie. (I just had to try it!) It's weird & whacko and I certainly never need make it again! It actually tastes just like real live fudge! But like you I have a preferred recipe I've used for years. I g ot the recipe from one of Lee Bailey's cookbooks and he claims the recipe is one that Mamie Eisenhower used... Whether that's true or not, I don't know. But it's a great one!

Yes- I turn 42 on Sunday the 7th. And thanks, janie! When is your's? I recall it's also this month but cannot remember the exact date. Is it today? The 5th?

Mine is not til the 17 of September. I hope you have a great birthday.

Do you have her Just Desserts Book? I think I gained weight just reading the recipes in that one lol.
