December!

My apologies for the unplanned hiatus. If anyone even noticed. :) It has been a busy few weeks here and computer time has been at the bottom my list... I have a feeling it might remain like that over the next month or so. So please be patient if new postings are fewer than normal for the time being. Thanks. I hope you are enjoying this special season, too.



Here are our main dish dinner choices from the past week and for the next couple:
Baked Ziti

Pot Roast Italiano (new, too)
Shepherd’s Pie

Fish and cornbread
Turkey pot pie
BBQ Meatballs

Sides: peas, green beans, salad greens
