When I was young Christmas cookie ornaments were one of my favorite traditions. Not only are they fun to make, but they were also fun to eat!
We would make big batches of cookies and sit together and decorate the cookies. Some of them would be made into Christmas cookie ornaments and others would be turned into plates to cookies for friends and neighbors.
This is our baby. Our 1 and only car. Since the time we were married, we have been a one-car family. We choose to do that to save money.
We live in central CA. In a place that doesn’t have lots of public transit, and the transit we do have doesn’t really give us much help. So we had to really consciously make the choice to make this work. We had to figure out tips to successfully be a one-car family.
Before we were married, we both served missions for our church. Shortly after coming home, we started dating. Matthew bought a car and I did not. I used a family car until we were married. So instead of going into debt for a car, we decided to manage with 1 car.
One of my favorite recipes is stuffed bell peppers with ground turkey and vegetables! It has always been a dish that leaves me full but not heavy feeling. I also love that it gets me lots of vegetables!
We searched high and low for a vegetable and turkey stuffed peppers recipe. I tried a few but never LOVED what I was eating.
