Oh the magic of the Christmas season.
I like how this is going. Easy and slow......
Miss Tessa, over at Here There Be Musing, made a comment
that we need not get in a "tizzy" over decorating our homes for the season!
She was so right!
How heart warming to take a peek out the windows
and see Christmas lights all aglow in the neighborhood!
Each day, the kitchen is taking on a few more pieces of Christmas decor!
This is setting the mood for the beginning of delicious food being prepared for our
infamous Christmas Eve gathering!
So as we all go about the task of creating the special feeling of the Christmas season,
this delicious recipe will help you serve up a fabulous meal for your loved ones,
with the ease of your slow-cooker!
The fantastic aroma of a good spaghetti sauce simmering away, and
Judy Garland singing "I'll Be Home for Christmas"....
it's home for the holidays!

DeleteOh, my dear sweet new friend that I am growing to love...we, too, have our large family gathering on Christmas Eve...
ReplyDeleteand I've been wondering for weeks what to serve that would be easy, delicious and you have come to my rescue. This, with a great salad and, of COURSE, some killer garlic bread will be on the menu this year. They will all LOVE it...and I'll have the ease of a slow cooker meal...I'm excited....and thank you for the inspiration and the recipe.
That's going to be perfect BJ! It smells divine and tastes even better. I like a bit of a kick to spaghetti sauce and add cayenne pepper to the ground beef! This was my mother-in-law's secret and she made a divine sauce! Sounds like it will be a Christmas Eve spectacular!!! Hugs!!!!
