New Years Grocery List

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. I sure did, but I have to say, I'm looking forward to the new year. I have some changes coming up in my life, and I'm getting excited. I'll have to share them with you later.

Okay ya'll, I have to toot my own horn on this one, but the Lucky "Greens" pork loin is so yummy. I did a test run on it last month and I'm so excited to be cooking it again. Also, Sunny Jo's, my niece, has Spinach Hog recipe this week that you don't want to miss.
