Kirk Cameron’s Saving Christmas

Two weeks, that’s all you get to see Kirk Cameron’s Saving Christmas. Yikes, that’s fast! But it is only in theaters for a short time. This is one I will make time for because of the content. I love Christmas and the story is something that I can relate to. I get a little mad when people want to take Christ out of Christmas. It’s just irrational to me. So I like the story line of the movie–Christmas needs to be saved. And I like Kirk–he loves his family. And so do Phil and Kay Robertson from Duck Dynasty…they like Christmas, Christ, and family.

Buy in 8 pack at Sam’s Club or watch for the BOGO during holidays. About the Apples. Mix it up. Not all apples are good for pies. I try to buy a mixture of at least 3 types of apples for my pies and have used the following: Golden Delicious Rome Beauty Jonathon Jonagold Granny Smith (not too many though–very juicy and tart) Cortland Pippin Decor.

Comfort Food: Cubed Steak With Peppered Gravy

It is month number 2 on my 2013 resolution to make more family meals. Thanks to eMeals I am still going! This one I had to share. It was what I call country fried steak and it was the perfect comfort food for a cold day–filling, crispy and hot. I added twice baked potatoes and an easy salad–spinach, strawberries, walnuts and a little balsamic glaze drizzle. Try this recipe and try eMeals–I am loving not having to think about what to make! 5 – 4 oz cube steaks (1 t salt, divided) (1. c milk, divided) (2 large eggs) (. c plus 2.
