I like to get a pkg of circus peanuts sometimes. Hated them as a kid, but I like them now.

I'm not fond of anything that's orange-flavored, but with circus peanuts, it's also a textural thing. They're like marshmallows that I don't like at all.I like to get a pkg of circus peanuts sometimes. Hated them as a kid, but I like them now.
I only tasted one once many years ago, so I guess I don't really remember what they tasted like. All I know is that I didn't like the flavor or texture. Yuck!Oh they aren’t orange flavored, they have a mild banana flavor. I can’t stand orange flavor.
As I mentioned earlier, along with Snickers, Reese's Peanut Butter cups are my favorite Halloween candy. I don't like to hand out anything with peanuts or peanut butter for trick-or-treat because so many children are allergic to nuts. In recent years when we're home for Halloween, we've been getting cartons of snack bags of potato chips or pretzels.I never liked circus peanuts, wax lip candy, or those small candies that were individually wrapped in orange or brown waxed paper.
My favorite has always been Reese’s in any form: eggs, trees, pumpkin, etc.
I used to make a peanut butter cheesecake recipe that called for chopped Reese’s cups as one of the ingredients. I would shop all the post-holiday candy sales and stock up on Reese’s trees, eggs, etc. and freeze them for future use.
We used to hand out the mini microwave popcorn bags. There was a little boy in our neighborhood who was diabetic. His Mom said he was always so excited to come to our house. He knew he could have popcorn.As I mentioned earlier, along with Snickers, Reese's Peanut Butter cups are my favorite Halloween candy.

We are watching the game too. It's going well! The UNC game will be next. ETA: the meal sounds great!One of my brothers is coming to watch the Michigan game. He asked if we could have swordfish, so DH will be grilling later on. I assembled a colorful salad - Romaine, spinach/kale blend, red onion, cucumber, and multi-colored grape tomatoes. I've also prepped veggies for succotash - fresh corn, frozen lima beans, Vidalia onion, orange mini peppers, and cherry tomatoes. I will saute the veggies in canola oil with salt, pepper, and Cajun seasoning. I think it will be a nice meal.
I went to Publix and I saw the biggest acorn squashes I've ever seen in my life! They had to be about 8" across. There were a few slightly smaller ones but no really small ones for me. I didn't want to buy one so big I couldn't finish it timely.We enjoyed our first Michigan acorn squash of the season earlier this week. Simple preparation: Butter, salt, pepper, and freshly ground nutmeg. Sometimes I add a splash of maple syrup. Acorn squash is my favorite fall food. I like pumpkin anything, too.
Nino's was featuring boneless rib roasts, so we had a 3.2# roast that rendered several nice slices for each of us. Along with mashed potatoes and salad, it was a very nice dinner for two. Yesterday, I made mushroom barley soup with onion, carrots, mushrooms, barley, and the rest of the roast beef. It's delicious, and there is plenty left for a few more meals. This was my first soup of the season, and I'm looking forward to making many more.
Couldn't you roast a large squash, enjoy some, then freeze the remaining portions in Ziploc bags? We've noticed, with Michigan acorn squash, that the smaller ones tend to be less "ripe", pale, and without much flavor. As the season progresses, the squash get larger, the flesh is deeper in color and much more flavorful. JMOI went to Publix and I saw the biggest acorn squashes I've ever seen in my life!

Nice! I make it sometimes, when we have really good pumpkin. I use the smitten kitchen recipe, and it turns out amazing, even with gluten free flour (my partner has Coeliac's).I'm thinking about making pumpkin bread today or tomorrow. Besides acorn squash, it's a fall favorite.
A California BLT - sometimes called a BLAT (doesn't sound appetizing to me) - includes slices of avocado along with bacon, lettuce, and tomato.What’s the difference between a BLT and a Californian BLT Bette?
Ah ok thanks. NiceA California BLT - sometimes called a BLAT (doesn't sound appetizing to me) - includes slices of avocado along with bacon, lettuce, and tomato.
Welcome to the "foodies" thread Do you make pumpkin bread with real pumpkins? I use canned pumpkin puree. I've used the Better Homes and Gardens recipe for years but reduce the sugar to 2 cups instead of three, and I add a cup of chopped walnuts or pecans. Pumpkin BreadNice!
