Pioneer Woman at Heart

I'll be honest.  I am not feeling the "family" thing for this coming holiday.  It's been a long month for us, and the thought of spending the entire day baking has been taking a toll on me.  Vet-tech Daughter said she'd cook everything, and just wanted a lot of food. My Oldest Army-college Daughter stopped in and asked for us to save "a lot of leftovers" for her as she has not had time to cook.  No pressure there. I really didn't want to cook.  We only had one day to have the dinner.  Thanksgiving day.  Oh, and on top of that same day, Hubby's family is having their big meal.  So he wants to go there, and have the meal here too.  In one day.  No pressure there.   Of course the one volunteering to cook, doesn't care what's in processed food, and said to buy it vs. make it. Yeah.  That's not happening.

It seemed a s soon as we stocke d some firewood by the house, the weather turned dreary , cold and then rain a rrived.  W e woke up to this.   The sun is shini ng and the there is no wind.  It's actually a b ea utiful Sun day.  Warning.... feeling talkative this m orning.  Grab a cu p of your favorite bevera ge. Our grocery store is now selling an organic whole wheat (label ed non-gmo ) bread.  I was lucky to get a loaf at a good price, which I made homemade croutons with.  N ext batch I will try using homemade bread of some sort.
