 Christmas - Ham - Potatoes.
So, I talked about eating healthy for a few weeks and what do I do? I forgot to clean out the last container or potatoes and ham. I can’t let that go to waste. I warmed it up and savored that last morsel of the holidays. Thankfully, I had a whole wheat English muffin

 Christmas - Cookies - Turkey.
Well, since I didn’t make a turkey for Thanksgiving but I had bought one at the store (with my Pick ‘n Save Turkey Perks reward no less!), I wanted to make the bird before I needed the space in the freezer for Christmas. Four days ago, I embarked on a path to making the

 Christmas - Cookies.
Well, we're nearing the end of the line for Christmas. I might get all but one of the cookies on my list done. I don't think that I'll have the time or patience for the linzer cookies. I'm so sad because I've always wanted to make them. Oh well, that's why I pick so

 Christmas.
If I haven't said it in a previous post, Christmas is my favorite time of year. At 34, I'm still a kid when it comes to the Christmas tree, Christmas treats, and family gatherings. Yesterday, I was busy working out the final details of what we're making for Thursday and Friday. (8 coming on
