Today I made mashed potatoes from scratch and had steak too! I found a couple elaborate mashed potato recipes, but they all seemed really involved. I just cup up four potatoes, cup them into cubes, boiled them, drained them, mashed them, added half a stick of butter and some onion powder and had some great potatoes. We found some super cheap steaks when we went shopping the other day and through them in the freezer when we got home. I didn't think about dinner ahead of time and found my self with a bunch of frozen steaks when it came to bed dinner time. We don't have a microwave yet, so I could thaw them that way. I stuck them under some hot water and hoped for the best. When they seemed squishy, I cooked them in a frying pan with some butter.
We decided to be festive this evening and both Aaron and I are enjoying a cup of hot coco (mine has the addition of some Baily's). I made it from scratch!
Awesome Hot Coco
1/3 cup Water
1/2 cup Sugar
1/4 cup Hershey's Coco Powder
4 cups Milk
Combine the water, sugar and coco powder in a sauce pan and place over high heat. Boil the mixture while stirring it. Add the milk and lower the heat. Cook until the hot coco is hot :-)

Aaron has been really excited about Christmas for the last couple of days. He has been really persistent to give me one of my gifts early. I wanted to wait until Christmas, but I gave in today. We each exchanged one of the gifts we got each other. I gave Aaron a fleece pull over. I am super glad he likes it. He gave me a BEAUTIFUL necklace! I am so excited!
My pretty new necklace from Aaron!
Happy Holidays!
