Well Kevin is still hanging around, literally hanging around. Kai had to try to stand on his head to get a better look at where our little Elf decided to hide today.
Well I guess we will have to see if Kevin turns our house upside down to meet his mood tomorrow. We never know what we will find him doing. I hope you all are having a wonderful Christmas season.
[gallery] Well this post is a little bit late today. Brandon was selected to serve on a Jury and has been tied up all day. Actually he has been tied up all week. So our update is late and a little rushed today. It has been a long week for Brandon and I, and we are so glad it is finally a weekend.
Kevin decided to take a ride on the wild side today. Peyton found him cruising in her Barbie's pink convertible. He also had Peyton's Tangled Doll along for the ride. From the looks of things he also stole some new duds from Peyton's surfer Ken doll. It is a little cold to be sporting surf shorts and driving with the top down but I guess that a the cold weather in Cedar is not so cold for an Elf that comes from the North Pole.
We are having some friends over for dinner tonight for a little Christmas Party. We are having Spiral Ham, and nothing tasted better with ham that Funeral Potatoes. There are many variations of this dish and I have probably ten different recipes that people refer to as Funeral potatoes. This one is Corn Flake Free. Funeral Potatoes is a Mormon nickname for this type of potatoes because this is the type of potatoes that the Relief Society always serves when they help with lunches after funerals. I am sure the reason they are served is because they are so easy and so yummy. Real Confort food. I like this one because the whipping cream makes them creamy and so yummy. This is all you need....
1 1/2 packages of Shredded Hash browns
1 tsp Salt
1 Pint Whipping Cream
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
Grated Cheese
Thats it! Now grease a 9 x 13 pan. Put in potatoes and sprinkle with salt and garlic powder. Drizzle wipping cream on top. Bake, uncovered, 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Take it out of the oven cover with grated cheese and bake for 5 more minutes until the cheese is melted. See that is quick and easy.
My husband found this image and we got a good laugh. I thought you would like it. I am sure you all have a recipe for this type of dish. If you try it let me know what you think in the comments below. Enjoy!
