now i am starving….thanks for the menus and recipes! these look amazing!
I don’t even know where to begin. I see recipes here I could make anytime of the year. Like the strawberry cake or the crabmeat stew. Oh you brought it lady. So glad you participated in Christmas in July. Hope to see you back next week for Book Wino.
I love playing games when the whole gang gets here for Christmas! And I’m liking that you’ve put everything together in one place – recipes, games and all those desserts look so tasty! I really have enjoyed getting to know you over the years and I wish you and your family the merriest of Christmases.
Now I’m hungry and ready to play some games! LOL So helpful, thank you, Shirley! I keep saying I’m gonna make that Strawberry Cake…
Such a great collectionfrom your blog. You always have some awesome recipes and cleaning ideas. Your hubby’s strawberry cake is calling my name. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
