National Batter Day, Battery Day, Pluto Day
Is anyone else out there kind of sad that Pluto isn't a planet anymore (I know this is old news)? The acronym I used to memorize the order of the planets has been irrelevant for years now :( This reminds me of Neil deGrasse Tyson. Justin and I went to CU Coulder to see speak and it was a blast!! He is one hilarious astrophysicist! He paints a pretty grim picture of the US, but I'm assuming it's all true. We're not as awesome as we think, people.
Anyway, enough about that! For National Batter & Battery Day I celebrated Thanksgiving in February! Turkey, stuffing and the whole nine yards = AWESOME! Here are a few recipes that I made!!
I started off the morning trying to make Bakerella's Baked Banana French Toast. Upon reading the directions (aka, halfway through the directions) I realized it would take something like 30 minutes and I was just TOO hungry. I still threw one in the oven while I made/enjoyed regular french toast. Shock of the century, mine turned out horrendously ugly, pretty cool idea anyway!

I was officially in charge of the mashed potatoes, but since I love holiday so much, and especially cooking holidays, I went a little overboard.
Brown Butter Mashed Potatoes thanks to How Sweet it is. Only I made them with redskin potatoes and added a little garlic powder to the end. And used skim instead of whole milk.

I made my very own Guacamole as well as Beer Chicken Cheese Dip. I use How Sweet it is' Crockpot Cheddar Beer Chicken recipe and add whatever cheese I have in the fridge. This time it was mozzarella, pepper jack, plus cream cheese. Served with tortilla chips!!
Next, I made some of Denise Gerth's Corn Casserole, big hit!
Ingredients:
1 can creamed corn
1 cup regular corn, partially drained
1 Jiffy corn muffin mix
1 stick butter/margarine, melted
Directions:
Combine all ingredients and bake in 8x8 casserole dish at 350 for 30-35 minutes or until browned and firm in center.
Last, but not least, Justin contributed with box-mix brownies! Very gooey and perfect!
