        I had to buy a small toaster oven since our unit here in Florida doesn't have one. I made tuna melts with chopped carrots and a little pickle juice, mayo of course and celery salt. I had to top it with Swiss as I didn't have sharp provolone. First I toast the English muffins then I bake the topped muffins. Call me crazy but I like the tuna on the cinnamon raisin English muffins.

          I'm found a top round steak in the freezer. So I pulled out my slow(fast) cooker. I cut steak up in chunks, threw in a couple of carrots, beef broth, onion soup mix, pepperoncini and some liquid from jar, honey and several spices from my larder. It was delicious. I think I tasted the broth a few times to makes adjustments.

            Because of the relatively warm weather (45*) we grilled 8 burgers ,6 for future meals. I also sauted onions to go on top with sliced grape tomatoes. Time to clean out freezer in preparation for Florida!

              It is certainly a bummer when you plan and bake and cook and clean and your plans go "Poof"! But that's life and on we go with a smile on our face and hope that somehow it was all for the best!

                I had lard leftover from my stollen recipe. I saw that recipe for Biscochitos in the paper and I was going to try it until I discovered the supermarket did not have anise seeds. Somehow I found a recipe for polvorones using lard and almonds. The flour and almonds were toasted in oven. The cookies were baked at 300 degrees. The recipe called for the cookies to be baked for 15min. They took a good 40 minutes. None of the reviews mentioned that the timing was off. I substituted Cointreau for brandy. My cookie taster thought they were very tasty. I then proceeded to check other recipes for these cookies. They were all over the rainbow. Lesson is: when you find a recipe you have mastered ,stick with it!

                    A loss of a loved one's life is always tough but it seems especially so around the holidays.
                    Wishing you strength.

                      I had top round steak in freezer and no energy.....so I pulled out the crockpot, stuck the frozen steak in it and proceeded to throw everything within reach into the pot. I served the blah beef with garlic mashed potatoes. Motto: "you get out of it what you put into it".

                        My daughter and I made the KA "Easiest Stollen " . I used my own dried fruit mix which included raisins, currents and citron. As Larry David would say :"pretty, pretty good!!

                          Correction the Biscochitos recipe calls for 3 cups of FLOUR not sugar! OOPs!

                            I am thinking of making Biscochitos for our wine gathering. I saw a recipe in our paper and thought they sounded interesting. I couldn't read the reviews because I don't subscribe to the Sacramento Bee. Anyway I compared several recipes but none had only 1/2 tsp baking powder for 3 cups of sugar. (paper recipe). Am thinking less baking powder, more crispy?

                              We had French chicken with Vinegar. I used boneless chicken thighs and upped the brown sugar. I let it simmer for an hour or so so that the sauce reduces and the chicken falls apart. The extra sugar is probably a no no but darn it makes the chicken taste good!

                                I found bb ribs on sale so I crockpotted them with miscellaneous spices and bbq sauce. I served them with baked beans and cole slaw.

                                  A woman at our Wine Club made these steak rolls which were "delish"! Of course I requested her recipe. She basically cuts thin pieces of steak tops them with a semi cooked soft piece of bacon and a small slice of onion. She rolls them with a toothpick and broils them. The possibilities are endless. I made KA's cheesy pepperoni bites and maybe I baked them for too long because they were dry and tasteless.
