    Yummy! Again :) I have so much to do to get ready for our Christmas Eve, but I’ve got sick kids right now, a MIL that just started hospice and life has been beyond crazy this fall. I am doing my best to not stress out and realize that I can make all the favorites over time, they don’t have to be this one day. That can be very hard for me to remember….

    I love it when a post full of real food makes me drool!

    This is unrelated, but I was wondering if palm shortening will keep longer in the freezer? I found a good deal locally and would love to stock up. I’ve never tried it before but I just used some in some chocolate chip cookies and oh my gosh they turned out delicious!
