It’s getting cold here in KY and we just had our first bit of snow! Last night all I wanted to do was snuggle up and eat some hot comforting food with hot cookies for dessert! I turned on every single Christmas light inside and outisde of my house and snuggled up in my chair. While I was listening to the classic Christmas music I grew up on, I   watched my darling kids twirl and dance just like the snow flakes outside.

Although this dish was not the one we ate last night. I was thinking about it as I was smelling my pot roast warm up. It is a dish I made when the fridge ran out of options and I had to whip something hot and good to feed my hungry clan. This is my very own recipe made up in a moment of desperation. I am so pleased how it turned out and will be saving this for one of our favorites for years to come. I hope you enjoy this easy delicious recipe as much as we did!
