Weekly Post, Dec 26

Well, only a day behind. Not too bad. We had a wonderful, albeit busy Christmas holiday. Everyone has a slew of new toys to play with (including myself, yeah!) and hopefully it will keep the kiddos entertained for a while. We’ll see.

I was marathon baking last weekend. Friday I made a batch of Italian egg bread (we refer to it as Easter bread), a batch of our potato pan rolls, and stuffing for Christmas dinner. On Saturday I made 3 pies and a batch of cinnamon rolls. We are so carbed up it’s ridiculous. I have never been big on New Years Resolutions, but after this carb-fest I might need to re-think that concept.

My husband loves-loves-loves turkey dinner! It is absolutely top of his list! That might be partly related to the fact that I only do it 3 times a year, but never the less, he’s always excited about it. We made a huge turkey for our wee family this year to ensure plenty of leftovers. Soooo, though I have a menu for the week, it’s kind of a “back-up plan” should the kiddos get sick of turkey. 

I am excited to try an herb pack in the Crockpot Bob’s Beef to see how it helps the flavor. I am also hoping to finally get some more recipes on here, including the biscuit recipe I’ve been using and the chocolate banana muffin recipe I’m loving right now.
