Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

The following are some of the meals I have prepared. I keep forgetting to take pictures.

Salmon with dill sauce and salad

In slow cooker, roast beef, potatoes, carrots and gravy

M and M Chicken Chunks, fried potatoes and salad

Stuffed Chicken with apples, ground pork and bacon wrapped.
It looked too good to pass up on a deal.

Turkey schnitzel with Knorr Alfredo and broccoli.

Pork loin with scalloped potatoes

The first time I did scalloped potatoes, I had put the turkey garlic sausage that we really liked, added potatoes, onion, cream of broccoli soup and 1/2 cup of water. That was really good, so ever since, I use a cream soup.

Meat balls with scalloped potatoes

This was put on my mail box.
It was nice to be appreciated for my lights.

During the last couple of weeks, I have done some baking. I baked a Blueberry bread in the small loaf pan, my Mom's shortbread cookies and Pecan tarts. I prepared packages as Christmas gifts for a few people here in the building. 

I kid of cheated, in that I didn't make the crust.
I used the Tenderflake premade crust.
The recipe is on made 24 tarts.

Homemade nuts and bolts from a friend.

I have also received various baked goods from friends here in the building. Needless to say, I have desserts to last a while. Most are in the freezer so they won't go stale.

This past Tuesday we had a group called, The Holiday Trailer, sing Christmas carols for the 4 buildings. They travelled to each building and I followed along for 3 of the buildings. They were awesome.

Not sure if the following video will work.

Christmas will be very different this year. In previous years we enjoyed Christmas in the south with friends and last year a great Christmas with the families. This year, I'm expecting to celebrate Christmas with a turkey breast, cranberries, mashed potatoes, broccoli and cauliflower and a salad. The families will be getting together via zoom or Facebook. So I will still see everyone.

I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Enjoy it however you can. Next year will be better.

Stay safe.
