Back from the break....

I unintentionally took a year-long break from this blog. I say unintentionally because I did not set out to take a break... it just happened. During this year we have moved twice, started a new job, and been unemployed. Our kids have attended three different schools in three different states. Things have not been normal, to say the least, and the blog was put by the wayside. Now, however, even amid the "not normal" that is going on right now, I feel the need to blog. During our move from Nebraska to Utah, I had my daughter take notes as I dictated all of my *brilliant* ideas of subjects for blog posts. I have a list and will slowly (hopefully not so slowly) blog my way through the list.

Happy reading and please share your tips and tricks with me. I love to learn new ways to do things!

What's Cooking? Wednesday

Welcome to the seventh weekly edition of ... Except that it's Thursday. Sorry. Life got completely out of control and I didn't get this done yesterday.

If you are having ham for Christmas dinner, you might want to try Ham Sauce. It's original name is Raisin Sauce, but no one in the family except me likes raisins so I don't always put them in and I call it Ham Sauce instead.
Raisin Sauce
1/3 cup raisins (optional :P)
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup jelly (any flavor, but I usually use grape)
1/2 cup orange juice
2 Tbs brown sugar
1 Tbs corn starch
Dash of allspice
Dash of salt

Mix raisins, water, jelly and orange juice in a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Mix brown sugar, corn starch, allspice and salt in a small bowl. Pour into sauce while stirring constantly. Serve with ham. Enjoy!

What are you cooking this week? (Please be sure to check the comments section as well as the links.)
