Monday- a new week, a new list

Hello everyone 

I’m ready to be back to a routine -as much a routine as is possible this time of year anyway- so I wrote out a new to do list for the week, 

I reset the guest room with some flannel sheets and it’s looking Christmasy in there 

I mixed up 3 kinds of cookie dough

Mexican wedding cookies, oatmeal cookies and sugar cookies- all are Betty Crocker recipes. 

I forgot to stir the pecans into the oatmeal recipe so I’ll use the chopped pecans for something else. 

I didn’t want to bake them this morning but I shaped 2 of the doughs into balls.  

All the dough is chilling in the fridge until I’m ready to bake.  

4 of the grands were here over the weekend which is why the guest room needed freshen up.  P

Elizabeth made this cute creation with Perler beads. 

The 3 boys said they wanted to do origami but they mostly made “ninja fighting “ instruments with paper 

Meals for the last week have all been pretty simple and cooked at home.

Beef stew with cheese and crackers 

One day I was gone in the afternoon so I made some smothered cube steaks in the crockpot and had the potatoes ready to cook at supper time 

Big salads are almost always served - my husband really likes salad 🥗 

One of the breakfasts when the grands were here- biscuits with scrambled eggs and gravy, and chocolate chip muffins 

I got a spiral ham for about $9 with Kroger delivery.  My husband smoked it and I served with a salad, green beans and box mac and cheese.  

It was a lot of ham! Some was diced and froze to add to breakfast eggs or casseroles.  Some will be used for sandwiches.  



I imagine most of you are busy with the same kind of things I am

Hope you all have a smooth and productive week 

❤️🎄❤️
