We kept the menu easy for Christmas Day. As it turned out, we had this around 5:00, after an afternoon of opening gifts. Three Cheese Spread with Pita Chips and Crackers Bisquick Sausage Balls Simple Marinated Shrimp This was delicious. Veggie Tray with Parsley Dip We didn’t care for the parsley dip. We had some […]
This will be a busy week for our household. We are hosting three events. Thursday evening, Nathan George will be presenting a concert here with his friends Mark Stoffel and Ross Sermons. On Friday, ladies from my sister’s church are coming for a house tour. We’ll serve a dessert and do a Christmas craft of […]
I haven’t managed to post menus for two weeks. We’ve been SO busy. But I found out that, just like planning your Christmas preparations, it’s when you are the busiest that you need a plan the most! Our annual Christmas open house was a great success. So much fun! We have several more events to […]
We’re knee-deep in Christmas boxes and decorations. Most of the trees are up…three to go, I think. I have a lot of pictures to share, but will start with this one of the grands and get the menu up before it’s too late to post it. The twins wanted toast for breakfast, so we dolled […]
And now they’re four! Sissy made cupcakes for them on their birthday. The whole family is coming Tuesday evening for supper and I’m making birthday cake for dessert. Should be fun. Monday Hamburgers Homemade Buns Chips Celery / Carrot Sticks Tuesday Fried Chicken Oven Fried Potato Wedges Broccoli Corn Green Salad Birthday Cake and Ice […]
We’ve had a fun week of playing with the grands. It’s always wonderful to have the three girls here.

It’s high noon in the process of our son and his family moving from North Carolina to our area. Our son and daughter-in-law are packing the moving truck as we speak and should be rolling in tomorrow evening or Wednesday morning. DH flew to NC Saturday evening and drove the girls back yesterday. A fourteen […]
I tried a new biscotti recipe this week. This Cinnamon Biscotti with Pistachios was a big hit at the ladies’ luncheon I hosted today. The recipe calls for cinnamon baking chips. I’ve never seen those, so used 3/4 c. milk chocolate Ghirardelli chips and 1/4 c. Nestle semi-sweet mini chocolate chips. And instead of cloves, […]
Two more Christmas trees went up this weekend. The Nativity Tree and the Three Kings Tree. Both are in the library. As we decorate, the kittens are having a good time with the bits and pieces. We’re counting down…thirteen more days and the grands will be here! The three girls are coming back with Pa, […]
With the onset of October, I start the annual cookie/candy production for our Christmas open house. Sunday afternoon, I made Date Balls (thanks again, Mellanie, for this great recipe!). These are one of my favorite holiday treats. And they freeze beautifully, even with the powdered sugar on them. This week, I’ll make another batch of […]
