Great looking menu!
Yum - this looks wonderful! Now I have chocolate-dipped peanut butter balls on my mind :) Happy Birthday to your daughter; mine will be 12 in the spring.
Our turkey carcass is in the fridge. I know I need to make broth with it but I'm having a hard time finding motivation to do it! Is it possible to be tired of food?
Loving your menu this week!
Thanks for your blog! Like Trish said, "You have inspired me too!"
God Bless,
Amy:)
Good luck today! I am going to try your carcass soup next year!
Hope your daughter has a great birthday! :D
Great looking menu especially the soup and peanut butter balls! Thanks for sharing!
Have a great week!

hope she has a great birthday! sausages and german pancakes sound good to me too. lol
Definetly the sausage links/german pancakes with blueberry syrup.
Sounds yummy. I like the new look of your blog. Very pretty.
It's so pretty over here!
Yes, you inspire me as well!! My goal for tomorrow is to get me next 2 weeks planned.
Have to share that I cooked down my carcass and used the meat and broth to make turkey and noodles. It seemed like manna from heaven as it really was essentially free food from somethings I would normally throw away!!
Thanks again!
I think I'm going to try the lentil casserole. Have you made this before? I've never cooked with lentils but I found some at a very low price so why not try them? : )
