A 2 for 1 kind of day

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season.  I know it is only the day after Christmas and still the holiday season, but I really wanted to get this post out there.  I have been so busy the last few weeks that I haven't been able to post anything. Well, today I have a homemade recipe of my own and a wonderful recipe to share that I just found today from a personal website.  Hope you enjoy!!!

Re-purposing Boxes

I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season.  I know mine has been super busy.  I feel like I am never going to get it all done.  I wanted to share an easy craft project with everyone to help clear up some clutter.  I came across this project in one of my magazines I get, but for the life of me can't remember which one.  It is a nice to way to help organize things and recycle at the same time!!

Our Thanksgiving Menu

Wow did November pass right by!! I can't believe Thanksgiving is done and Christmas is almost here.  Thankfully I have almost all of my Christmas shopping done!

I've looked back at the last month and realized that I didn't get much out on the blog.  Craziness was happening around here with a birthday and a holiday and just the busy-ness of the season. I do still want to get some yummy fall recipes out so that maybe you will still be able to use them.

December 2013 Menu

YAY!! I got this months meal plan out when I wanted to.  I am so happy that I can share this months plan.  Comfort food is now in full swing at our house.  That doesn't mean, however, that it is always bad for you.  I am so thankful for our large turkey that we got from my husbands father.  We will have turkey for awhile!! Some of the meals are the last of the "double" meals I made over the last few months.  I am also thankful for the venison that we were blessed with from my in-laws.  I hope that tomorrow you enjoy the recipes I plan on posting!!

 
December Meal Plan

The link above is a word document of this months meal plan.  A lot of the recipes came from friends and family recipes and allrecipes.com.  I like to get ideas for side dishes fro All Recipes.  They have 1000s of recipes that people have uploaded.

Again, be sure to come back tomorrow for a lot of Menu Monday recipes that will be posted!! Hope you enjoy our menu this month.

Happy Cooking!!

How to Cook a Pumpkin

Ok, so I know I should have gotten this out right after Halloween because that's when everyone was wondering what to do with their pumpkins.  Sorry this is late, but not so late that you can't have some made up in a jiffy for Thanksgiving next week.

So you've got this pumpkin and your thinking "what do I do with this thing??".  Well you have a few options and really you don't need a whole lot of tools.
