Married 20+ years with two teenagers, so I have prepared thousands of meals over the years. I find easier the better! Most mornings I utilize the crockpot or have something ready that morning to put in the oven that afternoon. Homemade Belgium Waffles with fresh fruit syrup! We give jars of homemade hot cocoa mix to a lot of our friends every year for the holidays. Hubby has an Orange Blossom Prune Bread he makes for a lot of our friends.
