Yikes! Did I really thaw out five racks of ribs?

What was I thinking?

It was 23 degrees outside today. Sorry, it is too cold for me to be out trying to stay warm by the grill all day. So, I did the next best thing I could think of and I put them in the oven. I took a bunch of pictures for you and I will post them tomorrow.

I also made, bacon wrapped little smokies:

Spinach Dip:

Crab stuffed Mushrooms (I used imitation crab meat)

Don’t worry, the ones I made had filling in them.

Meatballs in a grape jelly and chili sauce glaze. Yep, it really does work and taste great!

Here is just a sampling of things I made today for New Year’s Day. Normally, I have a New Year’s Eve get together, but we had a weather advisory all day yesterday. So I just postponed the get together until today.

We had a great time. Little sister Jeanie Beanie came with her grand son. My little brother came with PIC and my niece. My bestest friend from work came. And, of course all my kids, and grand girls (minus one, who lives in Springfield).

I am as full as a tick and my kitchen looks like hurrican hit, and that is after I started the dishwasher.

I will post full recipes tomorrow evening with pictures of all the tasty treats.

I hope you had a wonderful and relaxing day and ready to start 2013.

Have you made your resolutions yet?

I have’t either.
