We spent part of our New Year's weekend with my family back home. When we got back I started cooking! I made hoppin' John for New Year's luck (we had cole slaw for prosperity). I started to make a pound cake for dessert and realized we were out of vanilla, which ended up being a happy accident-- I subbed almond extract and dried cherries and made a wonderful cherry almond pound cake! Today I made TV dinners--Salisbury steak (Shane's TV dinner fave), carrot-potato mash, creamed spinach, and apple-cherry crisp. The idea and recipes were out of this month's issue of Martha Stewart Living. Enjoy the pictures!! :)
