For New Years Day we wanted an easy, busy, and fun day. My parents came over to the house and with the boys we made a day of it.

Thank you to all of my readers. I really enjoy writing these blogs for you. Sorry for the break these last few weeks. I needed to focus on myself and my family in that first holiday season after losing someone so special to me. This is the start of a new year and we are… Continue reading Ranch Chicken
This is a crowd pleaser in our family. The best part is that 1 pound of ground meat to 1 pound of egg noodles goes a LONG LONG way. It feeds a crowd. My youngest kept asking me if he liked it before it was made. He can’t remember what each dish is but I… Continue reading Stroganoff

The cookie by itself is not overly sweet, the frosting is what puts these cookies over the top. My dear friend gave… Continue reading Soft Pumpkin Cookies with Brown Sugar Frosting
