Bean soup with ham

TMOTH pulled stuff out for dinner, yay! Kids ate ravioli...

I also made Mint Capped Brownie Cookie Cups to take to our holiday party yesterday and they are yum yum yum. Recipe on the package of Hershey's Mint Truffle Kisses.

roast beef, mashed potatoes, broccoli

We had leftovers from earlier in the week - new mashed potatoes and broccoli, and biscuits as well. Kids are having ice cream for dessert. I had cookies earlier - I baked some spritz cookies this afternoon. I think the oven is running hot - the first batch was almost burned, and the second was more browned than it should have been.

Tomorrow has to be easy and fast. The mid-kid has karate 4-5, I'm going to be out and about downtown lunching, and the quilt guild meets tomorrow night. I still don't have a gift for my secret sister, so maybe while I'm downtown I can find something.

Turkey pot pie

Using up most of the last of the Thanksgiving turkey, with leeks, bell pepper, celery, carrots, and potatoes.
I spend big chunks of the day making gingerbread cookies. Both boys love them, as do I, even though the pre-teen and TMOTH don't much care for them. They got the last of the leftover chocolate chip cookie dough cooked for them.
Everybody's sick at our house (I'm counting the pre-teen's foot problems in that category). The toddler brought it home, and the mid-kid is currently the sickest. Throwing up, just not himself.
