Cranberry-Pecan Oatmeal
Here’s an easy way to make oatmeal a little more exciting…it’s called Cranberry-Pecan Oatmeal! I used old-fashioned oats, but you could use quick oats or instant oatmeal…whatever you like making best (just adjust the cooking time for the quick or instant oats, which will be less).

Simple Vegetable Beef Soup
The chilly and cold weather days are a great time to make a steaming pot of soup! I guess you could call this recipe “semi-homemade”—except for the ground beef, it’s made with canned ingredients. I like it better than canned vegetable soup though, and it’s simple to put together.

That’s What Christmas is All About…
One of my favorite Christmas shows is the Peanuts classic, A Charlie Brown Christmas. I have seen it just about every year since I was a kid, and I never get tired of watching it! What a great reminder of what Christmas is all about as Linus recites a passage from the Gospel of Luke:…
