OK…it’s been awhile. I haven’t done a meal plan post since November. It became evident again that I SUCK at meal planning in December….which is really when I need it most. I just don’t like cooking in December…there are events and parties and cheese…and cookies….so I’m going to try to do a Freezer Meal Plan …
This is a meal that looks and tastes so festive and delicious, but it’s inexpensive and very simple. I have tried stuffing the pork roast but I prefer the consistency of the stuffing when you do it separately from the roast, bake it until it’s golden and has crispy edges, then plate it with your …

It’s the week before Christmas….how is everyone doing? Feeling like the miracle of Christmas, will be that you will actually be ready for Christmas when it arrives?

Are you starting to think about holiday recipes? No…well you should be! Canadian Thanksgiving may be over, but American Thanksgiving is yet to come, and also I firmly believe that cranberry sauce should not just be saved for holiday dinners.
