Christmas Sugar Cookie Bars
Christmas cookies are so special. One of my holiday favorites was a dessert buffet covered with colorful and festive Christmas cookies. One of my favorite childhood Christmas cooking/baking activities was making and decorating Christmas cookies. Funny how a simple food item can conjure up so many memories.
Here is one to add to your collection. It comes from Trish at Mom on Timeout. Click here to go to her recipe page.
Lemon Chicken And Rice Casserole
Sheet Pan Scalloped Potatoes
Looks delicious! I must admit, there isn't a potato recipe that I don't like. It is possibly my favorite food group. And this recipe, it looks like it is more crispy than creamy, which is fine with me. There is a place for both.

The BEST Homemade Biscuit Recipe
Slow Cooker Beef Stew
Beef stew is one of those meals JR, my first husband, and I would make often with biscuits. His southern mom taught me how to make her beef stew that was the most delicious I ever had.
The ingredients are basically the same as Natasha's recipe. I don't use beef broth. The cut up beef is coated in seasoned flour and browned until fully cooked in a dutch oven with a little oil. I like it cooked until the beef is a little crispy. Then water is added that covers the beef and a slurry of seasoned flour and water is added. Cook until it thickens a bit. I believe it is the seasoned flour that makes the difference in the flavor of the beef stew. Then I add the vegetables and water to cover it. It cooks for at least three or four hours. You know it is done when he vegetables are cooked as you desire. I don't like them crunchy. The thickness is determined by your preference. Add more of the slurry as it cooks if it is not thick enough or add water if it is too thick. Season and taste as it cooks with your favorite seasonings.
The beef stew recipe I am featuring is from Natasha's Kitchen and prepared in a slow cooker. She is one of the chefs I watch regularly and subscribe to on You Tube.

The Best Way to Make Lasagne
There are so many ways I've seen people make lasagne. I make mine the way my nana did, much like Jim of Sip and Feast does. The differences are . . . I make little bite sized meatballs made with beef and pork, and I make italian sausage and cut it up in small bite size pieces . . . pure ricotta goes in by the spoonful in all layers and I use a lot since I love it. And I love chunky lasagne.
