So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Keeping Your Children Interested In Dinner

By Hedrick Lepsch


Kids do not always appreciate family dinner time. You try to prepare something that is healthy, nutritious, and will be enjoyed by everyone. More often than not, however, you find yourself telling your children not to play with their food and to eat it. Your pleas usually meet with exaggerated sighs and bored expressions. Finding ways to make dinner time more interesting may seem like an impossible task. By doing a few simple things, though, you can ensure that your children will look forward to dinner and will not leave a single crumb on their plates.

Another important aspect of food storage is using the food and cycling through before it expires, so your food storage will always be fresh. Finding ways to use your food storage items can be difficult, but with some great recipes, it can be really fun, and a great way to make the most of your budget.

Does your child sometimes pretend he is a swashbuckling buccaneer? If so, you may try serving him an applicable dinner. Dine on fish and other types of seafood. Store bought fish sticks are fairly nutritious and are easy to cook in the oven.You might try making your own fish sticks if you feel that the store bought variety isn't fresh enough. Just go the seafood counter at your local grocery store and purchase a nice slab of fish.

This kind of damage is something that forever damages the quality of the meat, so taking steps to avoid this eventuality are key. This kind of issue can easily be avoided with the use of a vacuum bag.The freezing process is definitely something that can be crucial to preserving the integrity of the meat. However, if it is done improperly then it can be damaging.Vacuum bags can combine with the freezing process to make things much more effective in nature. The meat will be cold and preserved without having to worry about the exposure of the meat to the temperature and possible icing effects.

For snacks you can make things like bread, muffins, and pretzels. These kinds of foods are great for any occasion, and in case of an actual emergency, you will be able to keep your stomachs full and happy with good warm food inside. Breads are great for using pantry staples like flour, water, and salt. You should make sure that all of these items are current and in your food storage.

When one thinks of cowboys, one thinks of cooking around a campfire. An open fireplace can serve as your campfire for the night, but be careful not let your children get to close to the flames.If it is warm outside, you might try building a small fire over which you and your children can cook some nutritious foods. Just make sure to keep your kids out of harm's way.Whatever your child imagines himself to be, you can adapt a dinner night to his particular interests. Get creative and use a little bit of imagination.

Another way to keep dinner time from becoming boring to your children is to involve them in a conversation about their activities and interests. Some adults find it hard to carry on a conversation with a child. By asking the right questions, however, you can get your child to really open up about school, play, and other points of interest. If your child is in kindergarten or elementary school, ask him what he learned that day at school.

And to cure your sweet tooth, you can even create delicious dessert items, like brownies, cinnamon rolls, and cakes. By keeping mixes and various ingredients in your food storage you will be able to brighten up even the darkest day with something sweet to eat. And remember that many ingredients can be stored in foodsaver bags, so you can keep them fresh until you need them!

Eating dinner together is a good way to bring your family closer. You can instill in your child a desire to eat good foods and have fun with family.Take a little extra time to plan a fun dinner for your child. They will appreciate it!
