I am one of those rare breeds that actually likes to cook. We sit down and eat a home cooked meal as a family probably about 95% of the Year. I usually cook what my family likes, and take request all through the year, but during the holidays it always seems extra special. Each day someone gets to choose an item they want me to make that day. It can be from any category, Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Desserts, Candy, Beverage; you name it, and I can make it. For the beginning of the month, requests will come mainly from my husband, and youngest son. My older two are off at college, and wont be home until the 16th (she is in Wisconsin) and the 19th (he is semi local, but still lives on campus). If you come back each day the chosen recipe will be posted. Some do require special Scandinavian pans. (I am 3/8ths Norwegian and 5/8ths Danish). There may be a few missed days too, as life gets hectic this time of year.
