Dinner

I make the exact same thing every year. Mashed potatoes, asparagus, rolls and Prime Rib. Many families change it up or have other standard traditions. How does your table rate?

Far be it for me to leave cheese out of Christmas. Give me a cheese ball, a cheese platter or a cheese sandwich and I'm happy.

The best way to share time and stories with friends and family is over a good plate of food and the twelve days of Christmas are full of great dishes.

I love to cook! There is no question about it. Cooking for me is like meditation. I am at one with the kitchen, a 'no interrupt zone'. Dinner with the family is a time to connect with the kids and my James, cooking dinner is a time to connect with myself. And when the food turns out delicious and disappears from their plates, well that's the best thing ever. This is why I share these recipes with you, to hopefully bring you a moment of sanity AND oooh's and ahhh's at the dinner table.

It didn't take me long in my journey as a mom to find creative ways to get the kids to eat their vegetables. Okay, so this one has bacon and you could argue whether or not it was wise of me to introduce this to them, but then again, it has BACON!
