We don't even eat regular mash potatoes for holiday meals anymore... these whipped root veggies are AMAZING.

I looked at that recipe, it does sound good.

So officially finished bathroom except for a few finishing touches I may add later. I went with the gray walls because both my Dd and DH reminded me that we had peach walls when she was little. I had to go back through some old photos. I like the gray. It looks polished and modern. So here is a couple of pictures. We kept the vanity top because I am not paying $1,000 for one to match.

I like how the bathroom looks. The vanity top is really nice too, I'm glad you decided to keep it.

Well, youngest’s cake is done. I baked the layers. I will get to enjoy it because it is vegan and gluten free. The cake itself uses date and maple syrup as a sweetener. Just realized the cake itself has no added fat. Never made this recipe before so I hope it tastes good. The kids did the icing and much of the fondant.

5-8 inches here.

Should have moved to Florida when I had the chance.

IT'S SNOWING!!!!!!

Where's @21stamps ?? We're going to need to talk her off the ledge!

Lucky you. I have to wait until Thursday night for mine!

You know.. I'd be totally happy if I just had a plate full of stuffing and whipped root veggies.

When I was a kid, I thought stuffing was a vegetable.

Thanks, me too. One of the team moms just called me.. her son and T have been playing together (starting with indoor for the club) since last November.
He is being moved down.

It doesn’t make sense because when I look at them, her kid is much more consistent than T.
T’s a weird one.. the kid will have an amazing game, or a semi-disappointing game.. there’s really nothing in the middle for him. He’s either going to be the star, or he’s going to make you shake your head and wonder what he’s thinking. You never know which T will show up at kickoff.

The other boy, he’s almost always good.. makes some mistakes, but definitely one of the stronger players. He should definitely be on that team. It doesn’t make any sense. I want to see the roster so badly. I wonder how much politics were involved in these decisions.

The phone call was almost embarrassing..I just can’t wrap my brain around a decision to cut that kid specifically.. he and T are 2 of the original 3 who have been together for 12 months now.. I’d put them all in the “top 5 on team” category. Totally nonsensical.

Sorry for rambling, I’m just mindblown right now. I had an idea of who would move.. but that kid was not on my mind at all. I feel terrible for him and his parents.

That just stinks. Not nice business going on with that club.

Wow! You guys did such a nice job!

 

[ajrwdwgirl]

Ha! Mine kind of is, it has onions and celery in it. I do saute the onions and celery in at least a cup of butter though, that might not be too healthy.

 

[MinnieM123]

The regular stuffing bread is done Now I'm waiting to hear if I need to make corn bread stuffing

I love this stuffing, and the bread is already inside the box.

Awww thanks Minnie!!

Yes, that's the way I was told how to make stuffing, too. Add the veggies to the Bell's stuffing mix. Voila.

Can’t like that. Sorry

The Weather Gods seem to have had a great deal of overtime for your sweetheart this year.

Maybe a quickie to DVMCP would help when
It’s over.

Very nice!!!

Looks like a kitty may have gotten ahold of the TP in the top pic...?!!!!!

 

[Rista1313]

Sounds yummy! Thanks.

You won't be sorry... it's amazingly tasty! And I'm thinking now that the instapot was created, this could be even easier and faster now!
