Finally! A New Recipe Page!
I’ve been meaning to update the Recipe page on CNC for months and months now. It hadn’t been updated since 2009, so I had my work cut out for me- from re-categorizing and fixing broken links to weeding out so-so recipes and adding new, delicious ones.

The Most Wonderful Time Of Year

Take A Family Photo
Happy holidays from our family to yours! Yesterday’s 24 Days of Togetherness was “take a family photo,” so we had a little fun with the self-timer on my camera last night. But, no matter what we tried, we could not get Murphy to look at the camera. He looks like a little Scrooge, doesn’t he?
Elf vs. Home Alone
Good morning! Yesterday’s 24 Days of Togetherness was “watch a Christmas movie,” so Mal and I put on our “movie suits,” cozied up on the couch, and watched Elf last night.

Twelve Pains of Christmas
Hi, friends! Merry Christmas Eve! Somehow, my “nasty, phlegm-tastic cold” got even worse last night, so I went to bed feeling pretty awful.
