Today - y'all at the house are on your own because I am working today and the ERs are still busy.
Tomorrow - a nine-pound spiral-cut ham with mashed potatoes, country gravy and loads of salad. Huge chocolate cake for dessert, along with whatever candy Santa brings.

One benefit of being suddenly alone at Christmas is that (loving) people fall all over themselves to include you in THEIR festivities.
Tomorrow, I will have dinner with a group of similarly single A.A.s. The menu will consist of turkey, potatoes, spinach and corn. Whole wheat and crescent rolls. Cheesecake, pecan and apple pies -- a "sugar shootout."
I'm bringing bottles of sparkling pear juice -- a hidden delicacy if ever there was one!

Yes I have to use Stevia since I am prone to pre-diabetes. It is amazing what cool things you can make without sugar.

Today I made blackened(intentionally?) catfish fillets and Kraft macaroni and cheese. I had Honeynut Cheerios for dessert.
Tomorrow, I have my daughters. My eldest, Katy, loves to cook. Last Friday we shopped for the ingredients for salmon spinach fettucini and cooked that. Not sure what she will want to make tomorrow.I'm pushing for frozenb pizza,though. We messed up the kitchen big time ,last time.

I'm not cooking anything tomorrow, but I spent most of today baking. Cookies: gingerbread, double chocolate peanut butter, snickerdoodles, and oatmeal white chocolate cranberry. Plus, a creme de mint brownie. Still to go: chocolate and peanut butter fudge.
I'm really hoping my H will take care of dinner, because I'm sick of looking at the inside of my kitchen.

Oh wow, I love that too! I haven't made it in years. I wonder if I can make it with Splenda? not2fun, can you post the recipe? no problem..... I used.... 2 bags fresh baby spinach 8 hard boiled eggs, sliced 1 med. red onion 8 oz. baby portabella mushrooms dressing.... 1 lb. bacon 1/2 c. vinager (I use white wine or red wine) 1/4 c. sugar 1 tsp. kosher salt 1 tsp. course ground black pepper 1 tsp. ground mustard seed Cook bacon to desired crispiness. Remove bacon from pan and cool. Return pan to stove. On med. heat, combine the rest of the ingredients. Simmer for 3 min. Crumble the bacon and add to the mixture. Add the dressing to the salad and enjoy.... And here is the recipe to the pork loin. Its a Bobby Flay recipe that was TO DIE FOR!!!!!...H did an AMAZING JOB on everything, but this meat was absolutely DEVINE!!!.... http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/...sauce-and-apple-butter-recipe/index.htmlThere's a lot of flavors in this. I wasn't sure how it would come out, but MAN OH MAN...... The recipe does call for Jack Daniels Whiskey in the sauce. My H substituted it with equal parts vanilla extract and water. not2fun ps..Barbie, I would LOVE that Herb encrusted leg of lamb recipe.....

Kosher salt tastes fantastic. It is used by gourmet cooks despite the bacon/kosher reference.
Just the taste is better than regular salt.
