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
❤️🎄❤️
