Monday We will be on our way home from a short trip to New Orleans. David has a board meeting for the volunteer fire department and we’ll probably not be home much before it starts. We’ll grab burgers from In-N-Out on our way home from the airport so I’ll probably just do something simple like…
Hot Turkey Sandwiches ~ By Leanne Penny
Hot Turkey Sandwiches By Leanne Penny I grew up Dutch, the child of a second generation immigrant. Being Dutch in America generally doesn’t mean much more than last names with difficult spellings, chocolate letters and banket at Christmas and genetically ingrained frugality. I was part of a large family, 13 first cousins on my dad’s…
Menu Monday ~ December 7, 2015
I’m writing this post Sunday afternoon. I’ve looked at the week ahead in order to plan our menu for the week and I’m not entirely certain what our plans will be. I suppose I’ll just plan something for each night and if we end up not being home or if something comes up I’ll just…

Mashed potatoes ~ Homemade, of course
Mashed potatoes – they are such a simple yet vital part of the holiday meal. I cannot imagine a turkey dinner without them. Okay, if you’re low-carb-ing it then you’ll have to substitute something like faux mashed potatoes made from cauliflower, but honestly? Mashed potatoes are ever so much better as long as you don’t…
Homemade Cranberry Sauce
Homemade cranberry sauce is probably the simplest part of the traditional Thanksgiving meal. If you are still serving that stuff from a can – complete with High Fructose Corn Syrup – then allow me to share how easy it is to make the real stuff. Homemade Cranberry Sauce Ingredients: 1 bag of fresh cranberries…
Dee’s Homemade Turkey Gravy
It has come to my attention that there are people buying those little packages of gravy mix. Oh, please don’t do that. There is absolutely no comparison between that nasty stuff and real, honest-to-goodness gravy. Gravy has a reputation for being difficult to make but it really isn’t. Follow along and I’ll tell you how…
