Today I made mini-cheesecakes for the cookie tray. I also baked the Lime refrigerator cookies that I mixed up yesterday.

What a wonderful surprise, Joan! Merry Christmas to all of you!

Dinner was spaghetti and salad. I made the sauce from our garden tomatoes I froze last summer, and added chopped cauliflower, also frozen from the garden last summer.

I baked rye bread, again using the recipe on the bag of KAF rye flour. This time I added a table spoon of their Rye Bread Improver, as well as my usual assortment of seeds (but I forgot the onions!). I'll have some for lunch tomorrow.

I also made a batch of chewy molasses cookies for the Christmas Eve cookie tray.

Easy dinner from the freezer: dinner rolls, and mushroom soup for me, clam chowder for my husband. After a big grocery shopping trip in the morning, I made a quadruple batch of Chex Mix for gifts.

Happy Birthday to your wife, Mike!

I agree Joan - cook once, eat twice! But I still struggle with the cook once, eat twice, eat three times, and sometimes even eat four times! I often put some of it into the freezer, but usually recognize it if I pull it out for a fourth meal! Ugh.

I made two loaves of whole wheat sandwich bread this morning.

When we lived in Germany, my husband spent a lot of time with the local Jagermeister, (or "hunt master" which we might interpret as forest ranger) who also raised hunting dogs and entered them in competitions. My husband had to learn the German commands for when he showed the dogs. Today, my son is a K-9 officer, and he uses mostly German language to communicate with his shepherds and malinois (the family pets as well as the working dogs).

I thought I posted this a couple of minutes ago, but I don't see it here, so again, Dinner tonight was grilled chicken thighs, quinoa with veggies, and a green salad.

I started baking cookies for my cookie tray today, but realized as I started this post that my first cookie of the season was non-baked! I'm calling it "baking" anyway! I made Buckeye Bars and they will be the first to disappear from the cookie trays. I put most of them into the freezer, but if my husband discovers them, they will disappear before they even make it onto the trays!

Tonight we ate grilled chicken thighs, quinoa with veggies, and a green salad.

Today I made chili and we ate it with Olive-Gruyere rolls from the freezer.
