What's for dinner???

Hey Everyone!!!

Well I was a very busy baker this weekend!  I'm making goodie baskets for my cousins for Christmas!  The house smelled soo nice.. and Chad was lucky enough to be my guinne pig and taste everything!

I stilll have soo much to do, presents to wrap and 15 goodie baskets to assemble.. so I am not cooking tonite!  I do have to stop at Trader Joe's after work so I will be picking up something quick and easy from there!!!!!

How bout everyone else???

Not sure yet what I am having.  But it will involve Garlic!!  I got my box of Dude Dust, minced garlic, teri garlic marinade and something else, I can't think right now.   I also baked and gave out all my goodies.  Mailed huge box to my boss in Kansas!  They are on a sugar high right now.  LOL  Take care and stay well.

YAY DUDE DUST!!!!!!  hehehehe I'm soo glad you like it!!!

Yes, I baked and baked and baked, and it's all being given away!  Last week I baked 9 doz cookies and sent then to work with Chad.  I love to bake, but I do NOT want them sitting around my house!!!!!!!

Mmm, smelling a yummy 15 bean soup w/turkey kielbasa in the ol crockpot!  YUM!!   

Recipe please??

OH wow, how sweet of you to ask...lol  I kinda make it up, but its pretty much the recipe on the back of the bag...

1 #of ham, or I use a whole turkey kielbasa, sliced in pretty decent sized chunks; 1 med/large onion, chopped; 15 oz can of stewed or diced tomatoes, 1-2 tsp of chopped garlic, 1 tsp chili powder, 1 small bag of already peeled baby carrots, 2 celery stalks chopped, 2 packages of chicken stock, I think it comes in quarts?  I just basically toss everything in the crock pot and let it rip...lol  I rinse the beans and you can precook them so they cook quicker if you don't want to do the crockpot.  I tossed a small potatoe in there as well.  I put about a Tbl of kosher salt, and about 15-20 turns of the pepper mill for pepper. I even put a few turns of balsamic vinegar in there as well, as I LOVE balsamic vinegar and it makes people say, wow, what's that? (in a good way! LOL) I hope you enjoy it!  xo  Kim
