Green Bean Casserole

I wanted to share one of the dishes I am making for Thanksgiving. We are going to my moms first and then to Jacobs moms. Then it is home for the day. Jacob starts a MUCH NEEDED 9 day vacation on Thanksgiving and I am so glad and so excited.
Growing up I never liked green beans, but something happened as I got older (and wiser maybe :) ). So to my moms I am taking Green Bean Casserole, cheesecake, a cherry pie (at Marcus' request), maybe brownies and I think that is it. I am making the napkin ring holders also, which as my usual self have not even started on yet. I have the idea in my mind so I don't think it will be too hard. I need a few more things and am going to pick those up tomorrow when I go into work to pick up my paycheck.
So here is casserole recipe (we do it a bit different though then the original calls for )

GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE

1 (10 3/4 oz) can cream of mushroom soup
3/4 cup milk
1/8 tsp. black pepper
2 (14 1/2 oz.) cans cut green beans
1 1/3 cups Frenchs Fried Onions

**Our twist is that I usually double the recipe and instead of using two cans of cream of mushroom soup I use one can of mushroom soup and one can of Cream of Chicken Soup.
**Also sometimes we will add some cheese (usually the mexican blend cause that is all I buy) in with it as well.

DIRECTIONS

1. Mix soup, milk and pepper in a baking dish. Stir in green beans and 2/3 cup onions (1 1/3 cup if you double the recipe)
2. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until hot.
3. Stir. Top with remaining onioins. Bake 5 minutes until onions are golden.

I made some really cute gift tags last night and will share those later. (I need to take a few pictures first). I also made a cute camera strap cover yesterday. I have been seeing them all over online (especially etsy) and decided to make one of my own. It was so easy and I am thinking of making a few more and trying to sell them on my etsy store as well. I want to go to Joanns tomorrow and get some pretty material. I made mine out of Miami Dolphins material because that is what I had laying around. So I will try to remember to take a picture of that as well.

Been busy also planning our wedding. I am pretty sure we now have the date set at April 11. We are going with Navy Blue and White. I have so many ideas and I couldn't sleep last night becuase all these ideas were just flowing in my brain (and yes I did write them down so I wouldn't forget). I am going to start full force working on that at the first of the year. It is too much to try to do at the holidays time. So I will be sharing that stuff as well later on.

Off to clean up the house, and then do some creative stuff. I have a full day of to dos tomorrow so I won't get a chance to get anything fun done or around the house. (well tomorrow night I have to work on those napkin rings though).

Have a Happy Thanksgiving.
