The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!!

Happy Holidays -
The Most Wonderful Time of Year! I just love the holidays, everything about them! The Christmas Tree, the Décor, the food, the festivity & FAMILY it truly is the most wonderful time of year. This time of year I get really excited about soups, my recipe palette reflects some hearty soups! Hope everyone has been doing great & getting all their shopping and baking done. Please share some of your favorite baked goodies in comments, I can write up another with Christmas goodies. Next weekend my family is doing our annual baking party so I can plan some tips for shopping and saving. It’s a busy time of year but also a season to reflect upon what we are thankful for and the true meaning of the season. In your shopping ventures pick up a couple extra cans of food and donate to the Lincoln Food Bank, or sponsor a family or senior in the community to give back. If you’re not sure what to do ask around local organizations are doing giving back campaigns everywhere don’t miss out on the reward you and so many others will get from it!

RECIPES
Sunday – Beef Soup with Macaroni
This was a new recipe I tried! It was really good, I did add a can of green beans & frozen corn I had in the freezer and cut up a couple potatoes to make it a little more hearty. You can add or omit what you like.
 
Monday – Jambayla & Corn Bread
This is a recipe I make frequently in my house! My friend had a baby and this is what I took them to eat, its so good and super easy and really I just throw everything into the pan and let it simmer. I omit a few things from this recipe: I use the frozen bag of peppers, for the base you can change it up for example instead of diced tomatoes before I have threw in a jar of salsa! Have fun with it, if you are worried about it being kid friendly don’t add the hot sauce & give it as a side so people can add to their own liking!  Prep your chicken meal
 Tuesday – Chicken Legs and Veggies  
Honestly I found 4 Chicken legs with part of the thigh meat on sale for 1.99, seriously how cheap I wish I would have bought more! I prepped this the night before in the crock. I put the legs in the crock, cut up some potatoes, carrots & celery. Added some seasoning & sherry wine. In the AM put it on low and dinner is ready when you get home. It was so tender and delish!
Wednesday – Cheesy Hamburger Soup
This is a new recipe I found, it is seriously the best thing ever! We love it!!
 Thursday – Salisbury Steak & Steamer Bag
This is super easy and delish, it reminds me of something my grandmother would make!  
Friday – TAKE OUT
 
Saturday – Chili, Cinnamon Rolls, & Carrots/Celery.
I just follow the recipe on the back of the chili packet of mix. Usually just the can of tomato sauce, can of diced tomatoes (I also like to throw in stewed tomatoes for a chunky consistency.) & if your family doesn’t like kidney beans, try black beans instead!!
