Most wonderful time of the year

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! But not for everyone. Holidays can be great and they can be a struggle. There are a lot of people out there willing to help, you just have to ask. Be blessed. Enjoy family and friends. And let’s start setting our goals for the New Year!

Things to eat before Christmas dinner

Dips are always good to have around the holidays. Here are a few that sound good to me that can be done at the last minute if necessary. Here’s one that is more of a spread than a dipping sauce. Spread it on toasted baguette or crackers.
