I measured out the dried fruit for 2 stollens and am soaking it in rum. I'm planning on making the stollens on Monday or Tuesday.

I pulled out 2 sticks of butter from the freezer for a batch of Martha Stewart's Noel Nut Balls that I plan on making tomorrow.

I made a batch of chocolate chip cookies using an Alton Brown recipe (The Puffy), portioned it out and froze it for baking later in the week. I did hold out a few and baked them tonight.

Am also contemplating an easy fruitcake that I saw in a video on youtube from Joy of Baking. This is a long shot but it is in the back of my head.

Happy Birthday to Mrs Nolan!

Today I made chicken burgers seasoned with taco seasoning. Had one with a simple chicken veg soup made with low sodium boxed broth.

Mmmm, cherry pie, sounds great Mike.

Tonight I had leftover chicken, brown rice and brussels sprouts.

That's more snow than I want, Kimbob, about 12 to 18 inches too much! I hope it doesn't turn out so bad.

I rubbed the chicken with olive oil, I thought about using butter but oil is just easier to use. I seasoned it with salt with a pinch of sugar in it, a little sprinkle of garlic powder and paprika.

Tonight I made a chicken sandwich and brussels sprouts smothered with mushroom gravy.

I made a chicken roasted on a vertical rack, mushroom gravy, green beans and bow tie pasta. I used the convection mode hoping to get crispy skin but it's not as crispy as I would like, still it came out good.

BakerAunt, what is Christmas shaped pasta? I've never heard of it.

I cooked some ground chicken, added some jar pasta sauce to it and had it over penne.

I pulled the turkey carcass from the freezer and made some stock, something I've been meaning to do for a while.

Dinner will be my last leftover pork chop with pasta.

There is a large appliance seller in Chicagoland, Abt, they were on the local news a little while back, they said the pandemic has caused their sales to increase by a lot. I was able to get a small chest freezer from them earlier in the year but it took about 6 weeks. But at least they let me order it and wait, other sellers like Best Buy and Home Depot simply listed theirs as "sold out" and wouldn't let you get on a waiting list.

I had a left over pork chop (yeah for left overs!) and made brussels sprouts and brown rice. Also made a tahini sauce that I put over the sprouts and rice.

I made pork chops and had one with green beans and leftover sweet potato.

[RiversideLen]

Joan, deviled eggs sound good, I haven't had those in a long time.

I made roasted salmon, fresh green beans and whipped sweet potato. The sweet potato was especially good. Have enough of those left for a couple of days.

Tonight will be the last chicken burger and brussels sprouts.
