Sweet Potato Muffins #MuffinMonday

Wondering what to do with that leftover Sweet Potato Casserole.  How about these delicious muffins, perfect with coffee during those lazy days after the busy holidays.

These are not your typical light, fluffy, muffins.  They are dense and moist but oh so delicious.  They were a wonderful accompaniment to a baked omelet using up Christmas leftovers.

This is the last Muffin Monday of 2019 and I created these to use up some of my leftovers from Christmas.

Still Working on These Leftovers

Happy 4th Day of Christmas.  Yesterday our dear friends, John and Kirsten and their family came for dinner.  We made a big dent in the leftovers.  I served up this wonderful Ham and Cheese Soup.  It was thick, hearty and flavorful.

Crown Roast of Pork and the Weekly Menu

This gorgeous and easy to make roast is perfect for a gathering with family and friends as you ring in the New Year.

Let's get ready for 2020.........

What shall I do with this leftover Strip Loin Roast?

Got Beef?  I made a strip loin for Christmas Dinner and it was delicious.  I had some leftover and it was way too good to waste so I decided to make this Beef in Red Wine Sauce.  It turned out lovely and will be making return performances whenever I have leftover roast to use.

Being faced with all the Christmas Leftovers inspired me to write you a poem........

Holy Samoly....It is the Christmas Week Weekly Menu

Yesterday we had our food pantry Christmas Distribution.  We gave out over 90 baskets of food.  When people arrived for their food they were able to enjoy pizza, pop and snacks provided by area stores and restaurants.  Shop local folks, support those in your community who support those in your community.

Santa was also on hand passing out gifts to all the little kids.  It was a great, busy, happy day.

Sirnek (Ukrainian Cheesecake) #CakeSliceBakers

This cake from Ukraine is made with Farmer's Cheese and studded with dried cranberries then covered with chocolate topping.  It is unlike your traditional New York Style Cheesecake but no less delicious.

It was my selection from the options given for this month's Cake Slice Bakers.......
