Merry Christmas, friends! Since I can’t exactly send you all a Christmas card, I thought I would share it here 🙂 This year has been a doozie for my little family! Lots of crazy-awesome-ridiculous things happened in 2013 including: adding another member to our family, remodeling our kitchen and publishing my ebook all at the same time {!!!} while still somehow staying sane….I think.
We are so grateful for all you loyal readers. You are so supportive and make me want to keep blogging and developing recipes. I love talking with you all on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and all the other forms of social media I have. Keep those comments coming!

December 24, 2013 at 10:27 amI made the gingerbread bars for a Sunday School party and they were so good. I decided they were better after the 2nd or 3rd day, You could taste the flavor of the spices better. Thank you for sharing.

December 24, 2013 at 10:43 amLove the card! Merry Christmas. I’ve tried so many recipes but my go to that I use a lot is your pizza dough!

December 24, 2013 at 10:47 amI can’t choose just one favorite–awwww!!
The Grandkids & me–plus Gpa & my son TOTALLY LOVE Love love–the failproof pizza dough, breadsticks recipe and my daughters & I love the Chinese chop salad.
I usually turn the pizza dough into taco pizza–roll out,spread with refried beans,premade taco meat,lots of Mexican cheese then bake. Just about 4 min. before done crunch up some doritos on top–then DEVOUR it!! Yumm-o-delish!! The salad is just so delish with all the texture and the cilantro leaves a clean fresh cool taste in your mouth. Perfect meal right there. Enjoy your Christmas with your little ones–they are truly the greatest gifts we do receive out of our love. My husband & I have been blessed with 3 children and their spouses. They’ve given us adorable Grandbabies and now we’ll receive another come June–we LOVE being Grandparents ; ) Enjoy your family !
