Momma's little helper

my work here is done. 

-Carmen

As we hunker down for a blast from the North Pole tonight, I had a little help in the kitchen.  On the menu for the weekend is beef stroganoff, chicken marsala, Italian sausage calzones and perhaps a hearty little beef stew. 

With Christmas less than a week away, many things will keep me from blogging, but I am wishing you and yours a beautiful holiday filled with love and joy and warmth and peace, wherever you may be.
