What to Give This Holiday Season? Fruitcake!!!!


Written on December 16, 2011 – 1:42 am | by workathomemom

Why? It seems that the same fruitcake is still floating around since 1840. I have NEVER once seen anyone actually eat a fruitcake, I have just seen them given as gifts, you know, for office parties, for someone who you "have to" give a gift to but actually don't know them and don't know why you "have to" give them a gift.

It is much like a twinkie, it will last forever and probably has, because like I said, I have NEVER actually seen anyone eat a fruitcake, ever!! Has anyone known someone who likes fruitcake? Is there something wrong with that person? I mean, like do they also eat food that has fallen on the floor and then yell something about the "3 second rule" and gobble up the fallen food? Then I guess I would understand their enjoyment of fruitcake also.

I just don't really get the whole fruitcake thing, not fruit, not cake, not alcohol really, what is the point? Give me a bottle of vodka and a piece of chocolate cake and then we can talk, until then, get rid of this ridiculous fruitcake crap!

Forget the damn fruitcake .... give a Blow up version of fruitcake this year, it keeps on giving year after year. Make it a tradition to pass on this inflatable little goodie during the holiday season.

My mom says she never had any menopausal signs. WHAT!??! I have frickin night sweats so bad that sometimes I wake up thinking I just ran a marathon!! Who's child am I anyway?

The fact is, every woman is different and just because your mom had no signs of menopause, doesn't mean you are going to fare as well. Just look at me.

Here you will find some information to help you prepare for this interesting and mysterious event. Hope you can find something here that can help you.

Christmas Leftovers


Written on December 26, 2010 – 5:00 am | by workathomemom

leftovers

It’s fun (well, for most of us…I think!) to have the entire family together for a Christmas dinner. You share good food and good times on that special day of the year. But, what happens to the food once the meal is over? Well, I’ve got 8 ideas for you and hope they’ll come in handy.

- Make soup. Soup is a very comforting and warming dish when the temperature begins to dip. Using chicken or beef broth, you can use your leftovers to make some chicken noodle soup, turkey noodle soup or even beef stew.  Here is my favorite, and easy to make Turkey Soup Recipe.

- Freeze them. Freezing means that you can enjoy your Christmas fare at anytime. If you use plastic storage bags, make sure that they are freezer bags and write the date of freezing on the outside. When you divide food into portion sizes then you can thaw out only what you need and not the entire lot.

- Send guests home with food. Why keep all the bounty to yourself? Load up on reusable food containers (in festive colors) so that each guest can take home some food for later.

- Make a salad. Green salads can be so boring sometimes. Add a slice or two of turkey, beef, chicken or ham to spice it up. Leftover meats make great salad toppers. Or make turkey salad spread for sandwiches or to put on crackers

- Breakfast additions. Omelets are fun to make. Even more fun than making them is adding different items to them to see what kind of combinations you can come up with. Use leftover Christmas dinner fare to decorate your omelet. Ham can be diced to use as an omelet add-in. Leftover vegetables can also be cut up to sprinkle inside an omelet.

- Go eastern. Did you have steak for Christmas dinner? Cut the leftovers into thin strips. With a few stir-fry vegetables you have created a new dinner meal. If stir fry is not your cup of tea, you can make lo mien, fried rice and other Asian dishes that include steak. Or if you had the traditional turkey, go wild with turkey chow mein.

- Casseroles are always a hit. Who doesn’t love a good casserole? With Christmas dinner leftovers, you can whip up a casserole for any meal. With breakfast, combine ham, veggies and shredded cheese with egg for an after Christmas treat. For lunch, use some turkey, rice, cream soup and vegetables for a midday meal. For dinner, try chicken, vegetables, noodles and cream of chicken soup for an easy all-in-one meal that takes less than an hour to cook.

- Create a pie. This is not the sweet treat but a dinner pie. Turkey or chicken and even beef can be placed inside a crust with tons of delicious veggies to make a pot pie your family will love.

I know it can be overwhelming when faced with all that leftover food, but hopefully these ideas can make sure nothing goes to waste.
