Foods I can't believe we ate as children, Part 1

Once upon a time,
My parents let my brothers and I eat horrible but wonderful foods or otherwise known as Junk Food!
My first memory of junk food, was when I was 5 or 6 and we got a can of Easy Cheese with the air/frosting type pump that you could decorate with. My older bro would write initials on a cracker and I would stand in awe begging him to make a K on mine and he would start to then turn it into a J. Ugh I was so mad! All I wanted was a stinking cracker with some fake cheese and my initial on it in a decorative way. Next came the Tony's frozen pizzas, oh how good yet terrible they were. We always had pepperoni, because the pepperonis would curl up and get filled with oil. Then we would fight to drink them. SOOOO gross!
And then there was...Micromagic! These were pre-packaged frozen items that were supposed to be fast food you make at home. They had burgers, fries and shakes. But and I emphasize BUT... The burgers would come out of the microwave frozen in the center with hard rubber sides and the fries were a soggy and greasy mess. And the milkshakes were the worst. The center would be completely frozen and the outside would be burn your mouth hot chocolate. But we ate it anyway :-)

Peach on Earth

We had our Office Christmas Party the other day and decided on a three ingredient no-fail recipe! It always delivers and rarely leaves leftovers. Peach-BBQ Lil' Smokies 2-14 oz package of Lil' Smokies cocktail sausages 1-16 oz jar of Peach Preserves 1-16 oz bottle of BBQ sauce Put all ingredients into a crockpot, stir and cook on high for 2 hours or low for 4 hours.  Serves 12-15, I would double for larger crowds.
