Taking Down the Christmas Decorations

We are now ready to start taking down the "Christmas tree ornaments." If you remember, about two months ago I wrote a post talking about my family already having some Christmas ornaments up. ( http://sweet-adeleine.blogspot.com/2015/10/prepping-for-christmas.html ) I was of course talking about the orange tree that had begun to bear some green fruit. Now, two months later, the oranges are finally turning orange.


Like I said before, I find it humorous that God gives us perfect little "Christmas ornaments" that change color and come off the tree when Christmas is over!

There are so many types of meatloaf recipes out there, handed down from generations, that there is no "right way" to make a meatloaf. This is the recipe Alton Brown gave in his cooking guide in the roasting section. Here are the ingredients you will need:

Saturday Sweetly

Every Saturday there is the task of cooking the yummies for the weekend. Sometimes it will be a savory meal, like pasta salad, and sometimes it will be the sweets, like cheesecake or pies. However, every week I try to find time to help Mom cook in the kitchen, at least for an hour or so. I helped her today with the sweets for the weekend, and every Saturday I help I will share the recipe(s) of the day. Today, we made a peach pie with a crumble topping, and some home made zucchini quick bread. We started with the pie, because it could cook while we prepared the bread.

You can either place the pie filling in the pie, then work on the crumble, or vice versa. Just make sure to preheat your oven to 425ºF. (We made the crumble first.)
