Happy Holidays!

I've been a terrible blogger lately! I'm so sorry for the lack of posts, I've been busy with work & I've been doing lots of hair before the holidays.

I have been cooking like a mad woman! I fell off my diet for a few days, I hate being stressed because all I want to do is eat. But I plan on doing an official weigh in on Monday.

I treated Dustin to some PA Dutch cooking this week. I had Wednesday off & cooked, cleaned and decorated the whole day!

On to the good stuff:

My mom gave me a recipe for apple cinnamon spice muffins. These were killer! I made 20 of them & they were gone in 2 days! (Don't worry, I took some to work!) They were perfect for dessert or breakfast!

I call this chicken pot pie. It's an Amish/PA Dutch thing. If you go out of Lancaster County, most people call it chicken & dumplings. But I made my own chicken stock & dumplings. A little extra effort but so worth it in the end. And you can't skimp on this, I used lard for the dumplings. I know, it's not the healthiest but it makes such a difference.
I've been a Grinch this year! I procrastinated putting all the decorations up, but I'm glad that they are up now! We decorated the banister with garland, lights & a stocking for each of our kitties!
It's really hard to see in the picture, but the tree is decorated with navy, teal & silver ornaments. We got silver garland & a sliver tree skirt. It's so pretty! The cats are obsessed with the glitter on the tree skirt & I'm slowly finding it all over the house! I've got a house full of Sparkling Christmas cats! :)

I'll be doing a weigh in on Monday & I promise to post more often!

PS - I'm waiting for one more shipment from Cherry Culture & I'll be having a sweet giveaway! I hope you're ready!
Have a great day!
