Grape Salad

Being in the position I am in at work I come across about 2-3 new recipes a day. I am always looking for something new to try so I told my salad lady when she comes across a new recipe to let me know. Well she made one the other day and I LOVED IT! I know that a lot of people might not like this certain one because it is very sweet but very good. The other night when I made it Trevor was all about helping so as you can see he read me the recipe and I added the ingredients!

1-8oz Cream Cheese---softened
1-Cup (8oz) Sour Cream
1/3 Cup Sugar
2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
2 Pounds Seedless Green Grapes
2 Pounds Seedless Red Grapes
3 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
3 Tablespoons Chopped Pecans

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, sour cream, sugar and vanilla extract until blended. Add grapes and toss to coat. Transfer to a serving bowl. Cover and refrigerate until serving. Sprinkle with brown sugar and pecans just before serving. Yield 21-24 Servings

Unless you are cooking for an army you will have to cut the recipe in half and when I made it I added just a little more sugar, they say you add to taste because some people might like it sweeter.

This just may be a recipe I will bring to Thanksgiving dinner??

AC Ellis

Most of you are probably wondering what AC Ellis is?? Well she is a photographer here in town and on Halloween she had free pictures from 5-7pm so I decided to take Trevor. Well today she posted the pictures on her blog: http://www.acellisblog.com/ one you open up this page just keep scrolling down and you will find the Halloween pictures. The funny part of this whole thing is that she dressed up her son up in the exact same costume as Trevor. I told her great minds must think alike. She did a really good job with Trevor and I really like the way she does things so we have picked her to do our family photo for our Christmas cards this year. Next Monday we will be smiling pretty!!

The Story Behind This Picture

Alright so for Halloween once Trevor got his costume on he would not let me take any pictures. He would refuse and just walk away and you know me I need pictures of everything so this made me mad. So I thought well once Jon gets home he can distract him and I will be able to get some pictures, well this did not happen. Although I did get one good picture of my boys and I love it so much I set it as my screen saver on my computer at work. The funny part to all of this is you are probably wondering why Trevor looks like he is trying to grab something, well you are right he is!! I held a candy bar and said "Trevor look at what mommy has" and this was the only way I could get a somewhat decent picture. And every time I look at it I start laughing all over again because I know what is really going on behind the scenes.

Thanks for visiting Healy Happenings and come back soon!
