Wow . . . December is flying by! I have two cakes to make this week and much christmas candy to finish!! But it wouldn’t be the holidays if we didn’t have much to buy, make and celebrate! This weeks menu is fairly simple, with some tried and true favorites, and a couple of crockpot meals to ease the pressure of dinner when I will be in heavy cake/candy mode!
