Now it's getting time for back to school and Labor Day is coming upon us really soon. So it's big BBQ's and cook outs and lately really HOT temps to go along too. And I know I don't like to take too many items that can spoil or ruin if you they do not stay cold. So I am sharing a great recipe with you for a great BBQ / Cook Out side dish in your crock pot!

Cream Corn

2 (16 oz) bags frozen corn
2 (8 oz) cream cheese and onion and chive spread, softened
2 tablespoons of butter
1/4 c. chopped green onion (great with fresh garden onions)
1 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
sprinkle with salt, to taste

Mix all together in your crock pot. Cook on low for 5 to 6 hours or on High about 3. You can also add in some grated cheedar cheese and crumbled bacon for a Creamed Corn Casserole. Either way it just yummy!!!

Hope you and yours enjoy!

Our Sunday Afternoon

As you can tell by our video in the previous post, we were having a wonderful Sunday! The girls were busy playing. Then we all went outside to work on planting the garden.


Daddy was busy gathering the goodies we needed and giving wagon rides. So everyone was happy as could be!

So far we have planted onions, cucumbers, squash, tomatoes, bell peppers, and jalapenos. Then we are adding cantaloup for sure, and not sure what else.

Lil K had fun playing out in the garden, but even more fun playing with this old doll of mine! It's almost her size. But she loves it.

And we made a yummy dinner on Sunday! We had brisket, rolls, potato salad, and scalloped corn. It was all so very yummy!!

Daddy's Scalloped Corn (this is a recipe hubby brought into the marriage.)

5 cans of cream style corn

1 - 1 1/2 sleeve of crackers, crushed

1 stick of butter

3 eggs

salt and pepper to taste

Pour corn into a casserole dish. Stir in the butter and eggs. Mix well. Add salt and pepper to taste. Then stir in the crushed crackers. Bake uncovered on 350 for about an hour and a half. Stir at about 45 minutes to an hour into baking.

Everyone loves it and asks for the recipe, and then they are amazed at just how simple it really is.

We have spiced it many ways, chopped onions, grated cheese, bacon pieces, and such. Not to say any was bad, but we have agreed, trully it's the original way that we prefer.

Hope yall enjoy the recipe and have a wonderful week!!

Crock Pot Creamy Cheesey Potatoes

1 pkg (2 pounds) frozen cubed hash brown potatoes
1 can (10 3/4 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
1 1/2 cups milk
1 1/2 - 2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup dried minced onion
1/4 - 1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper

Mix all together in a large bowl and and then pour into 5qt crock pot and cook on low for 4 1/2 to 5 hours. (until potatoes are tender)

A really great variation of this, that we sometimes do, is in place of dried minced onions, we use chopped fresh green onions, and add in fresh crumbled bacon, (about 6 slices). Serve topped with sour cream!

Hope you enjoy, these are one of our favorite get together side dishes!
