A new recipe for you to try

-
It's been awhile since I "foodie" blogged, so I thought I'd give you a recipe to try. I made this one last night to take to Thursday Lunch today. It was one of my old standby Pampered Chef recipes that I'd do at shows. It is a quick and easy recipe to toss together and doesn't require any "special" tools. (Sorry I didn't take step by step pics for you).

Hope you enjoy it. Haven't found anyone yet who doesn't!

Praline Cheesecake

Crust:
Melt 1/4 cup of butter in Large Batter bowl
add 1 1/4 cup crushed graham crackers and 1/4 cup packed brown sugar.
Mix together well and press firmly into the bottom of a springform pan.
Place in freezer until ready to use.

Filling:
(I use a mixer for this step)
Soften 16 oz (2 bricks) cream cheese
Cream softened cream cheese and 1 cup caramel ice cream topping. (I like Smuckers in the squeeze bottle)
To that, add 2/3 carton of a 12 oz carton of cool-whip. (Save remaining cool-whip)
Next, add 8 oz of sour cream
add 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
and lastly, add 2 (3.4 oz) packages of Cheesecake INSTANT pudding.

This mixture will be very thick.

Spoon over the crust in the springform pan. Smooth top and refrigerate for 30 mins or longer.

Remove collar and cut into 16 pieces. (or 12 if you like them larger). Garnish each piece with a cool-whip rosette, and pecan half, then drizzle with more caramel syrup.

Enjoy and remember to share!

Happy trails

Dad's Pietenpol Dream - A Reality

The following article was written by my Dad's wife, Gloria. Dream of building, flying own airplane comes true for Ionia man By Gloria Garman-Schlaefli Dick Schlaefli, Ionia, has achieved his dream of building and flying his own airplane. It took 15 years to complete, but for Dick being able to now fly his Pietenpol Air Camper was well worth the long wait. Dick developed his love of flying during high school when his three uncles, Ray and Dan Richardson and Jim VanSickle, each had his own airplane and Dick would take frequent rides with them. His interest in flying continued into college and while attending Fort Hays State University, he took lessons and earned his pilot's license. He built model airplanes and did control line flying with them, but hoped some day to be able to fly in his own airplane. It was in a magazine article that he first learned about the Pietenpol airplane. He learned that Bernard Pietenpol designed and built the first Air Camper, in 1929 in Cherry Grov

Sixteen years ago

Sixteen years ago today there was a terrible ice storm across Kansas. Sixteen years ago today there was also a wedding in the United Methodist Church in Cawker City, Kansas. That's where Plowboy and Plowgirl officially became PlowFamily! I'm glad that life has led us down the path that it has. We have a good life and a great little family. Enjoy a "through the years" review in pictures. Engagement picture Wedding Day taken for the Successful Farming article in 1999 taken for Church directory in 2007 Christmas 2008

A day in the life......................

of me......during planting season. Most days go something like this: Up and at 'em after the "birthday's" on the morning show. (Ok, so 6:47 isn't really that early in the whole scheme of things!) Check email, facebook, newspapers. Off to a shower. Wake up Plowbaby and Plowboy, and get both moving. (not necessarily an easy feat!) Change the channel to "toonies" for Plowbaby, and try to get her to eat some breakfast and change her clothes and get ready for work/school. The goal is for her and I to be out the door BY 9. Again, I know....not real early.....but YOU haven't tried to get Miss Pokey around in the morning! Also in the mean time, get some laundry going, and dishes cleaned up from the night before. Drive up to the farm (or the last field from last night) to find the empty NH3 tanks from the night before. Hook up and head toward AgChoice. This is if I haven't already been sent on 3 other missions, before even hooking up the first t
