Scalloped Pineapple Dessert

Happy Thursday lovies!  I made a recipe for the first time for Thanksgiving and wanted to share it with all of you.  It is one my mother used to make at the holidays and I had completely forgotten about it.  It turned out spectacular and was even better than I recalled. :)  The only downfall to it is that I didn't get a picture of it before my boys had devoured it all..... But...I was able to go onto the wonderful internet and locate a picture for you:
 
 
Scalloped Pineapple

Ingredients:

1 3/4 cups white sugar
1/2 cup cream or milk (I used Heavy Whipping Cream)
3 eggs slightly beaten
6 slices of white bread (broken up into small pieces)
2 sticks melted butter
1 large can of Crushed Pineapple (drained)

Directions:

Mix all ingredients together and place in 1 1/2 quart baking dish.
Bake at 350 degrees uncovered for 40 to 45 minutes.

Trust me when I say - if you like pineapple, you will LOVE this recipe wholeheartedly!  It has such a wonderful BUTTERY taste that it's hard to stop eating it.  I prefer eating it warm, however, others enjoy it cold.  This will be a wonderful and quick and easy addition to your Christmas meal - I promise.  :)

On another note as a reminder:

Weekend Recap and an AWESOME Giveaway

Happy Hump Day guys and gals.  Hope you had a fabulous weekend and are having an even better week so far.  I wanted to share a few pictures of our Thanksgiving weekend and then tell you about an AWESOME giveaway that will be on my blog a week from this Sunday, on December 14th.  So be sure to read to the end of this post as well as check back for the giveaway.  It is one I promise you will not want to miss! :)

My three babies after they got their bellies full on Thanksgiving Day
 
Obligatory picture of carving the turkey by my handsome hubby:
 
Some of the spread:
 
We always make extra food each year and take it to my husband's staff who has to work that day.  We took them Mashed Potatoes and homemade gravy, rolls, green beans, corn, cranberry sauce and of course, Turkey!
 
Mark and his son, Reece:
 
Friday after work - Me and my friend, Mark.  We've been friends since 5th grade and he and his son came to celebrate the holiday with us. I know I look rough here but I had worked all day and I think my Hogs were on tv at that moment - I was probably in the middle of screaming at the tv right before that - HA
 
 
Road trip taking Mark and his son back home on Saturday - I loved the scenery:
 
 
Close up of a tree in a gas station - I fell in LOVE with this tree and want it for my house.  The downside was it was about 30' tall!
 
See how beautiful and tall it was!
 
On our way home we stopped at a little store and gas station and there was a Sonic IN the store! I was so impressed I had to take a picture - I've never seen a Sonic inside a store before - LOL
 
 Then I fell in love with the table carvings inside the same store and had to have pictures of that as well:   
 
 
 I LOVED this bench!
 
Now on to the goodies and AWESOME giveaway!  I was chosen as a host in the 31 Days of Blogging Giveaways by Blogelina and I am SO excited!  It is a giveaway for one of my lucky readers (that's YOU) to win a FREE Wordpress Transfer from Blogger to Wordpress.  This is a $150 value that one of YOU will win for FREE!!!  SO.... keep checking back for the giveaway which takes place HERE on my blog on Sunday, December 14th beginning at 5 a.m. CST promptly.  In the meantime though, be sure to go to Blogelina's website (click on the word, Blogelina and it will take you to the giveaway page) and you can follow along and enter and see all of the wonderful prizes you can win over the remaining 31 days! :)

Happy TGIF

Hello friends.  Just a quick note to say I'm sorry I've not been around, but life has kinda been nuts over in these parts of the woods. I can't believe it's been so long since my last post already.  Time sure flies when you are staying busy on the home front and work front, that's for sure.  However, I'm still here and missing you all like crazy.  I realize it's getting into the holiday season, but plan to be back again very soon.  I hope all is going well with you and your families and want to catch up on your blogs soon.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great weekend. :)

Lots of love and hugs,
