I had a great Thanksgiving and hope you did too! Family and friends gathered for food and fellowship. Now it’s time to get ready for Christmas and since the leftovers are all gone, you know what that means! Actually, I made turkey and sausage gumbo yesterday and cooked mustard greens. Yummy!
I have been invited to a neighborhood cookie swap on Saturday. I plan to make my Dishpan Cookies. Just like the name suggests–it has almost everything in your kitchen–except the sink!!!
