I love to cook but I hate the clean up. It's worse when I want to bake so I haven't baked in a few years.

Sis was here all last week and I wanted to give her a break. I cooked all week. Sunday we had the in-laws and sis and her fiance here for dinner. I made a pork roast and sauerkraut and mashed potatoes. As an aside I decided to make navy bean soup with ham hocks as well. If someone didn't like one meal they could have the other. If they liked both they could have both. We pigged out...one and all!

Chicken and dumplings is a specialty of mine for a rib stickin meal. Mr. Lixy and I usually eat light, nutritious meals but sometimes I break loose in the kitchen and go for the gusto!
