Christmas Holiday

Well, the season of Christmas is here.

Our family never really had any specific food that we would have at this time of year, but I am going to have a ham.

On Christmas Eve, I will observe meatless. We usually had pierogi and tuna fish or fish sticks..because on Christmas we had ham and sweet potatoes and yummy homemade bread. Was always so good. I have lost the recipe box of my mom's. I was moving things for the guys who were working on my house and now I can't find it. When I do, I will share more goodies with you.

Until we meet in 2011...have a great Christmas and New Year's Eve and day! Enjoy and love one another! Cheers!

Crock pot

Oh a crock pot! What a wonderful invention.

I used mine a lot when I worked...great for almost anything! Today with the snow and cold, I decided to make Chicken soup...came out yummy.

Next adventure: Turkey in the crock pot!

Take one turkey breast (4 or 5 lbs.) fresh or thawed and place in stoneware. Combine 2 Tbs. butter or margarine, 1/4 cup garden vegetable whipped cream cheese, 1 Tbs. soy sauce, 1 Tbs. fresh minced parsley, 1/2 tsp. dry basil leaves, rubbed sage, dry thyme leaves, 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper and garlic powder. Mix well and brush over turkey. Cover and cook on low 10 to 12 hours or on HIGH 5 to 6 hours.

Hope you will enjoy this!
