Sassy Silver Sisters

First off, HAPPY NEW YEAR!! 2020 was a challenging year and we hope that 2021 will be better and that we can get to more of our normal life. Sad to say, this may be our new normal for a while. Oh well, let's talk about something we all love to talk about and that's food! We LOVE Chick-fil-A! Did you know that their most delicious special sauce was invented by the owner of our local Fredericksburg CFA restaurant? Indeed it was and you can read about it here  Serendipitous sauce the chick-fil-a sauce story . It's a great story!! I don’t get to CFA as often as I would like. I keep their sauce on hand but when it runs out, oh my, what shall we do. We found out that Walmart has a Great Value Chicken Dipping Sauce that rivals CFA Sauce . My daughter decided to try a taste test and I was in. Here’s what we found out: First off, my daughter put the two sauces in separate bowls and marked them A & B. I was supposed to guess by looking & tasting which one was which. I knew r

We hope you have had a wonderful Christmas and looking forward to 2021. Hopefully, the next year will bring us good health and happiness.  This post is all about that crockpot we have that rarely gets used. I honestly use mine quite often especially when I have a busy day coming up. Here are just a few of my favorite crockpot soup recipes that you may like to try in the near future. Winter is here and soup is comfort food, in my opinion. First up is an all-time favorite... CrockPot Creamy Chicken and Rice soup. This recipe comes from Jamie Cooks It Up.

I love different styles of gift wrapping. Wrapping paper has come a long way and the creativity that folks have is phenomenal. I usually buy wrapping paper from Hobby Lobby  because it’s sturdy and it has grid marks on the back to help with cutting. I go after Christmas for the big sale as they always have lots of paper left. Using embellishments is fun. You can use natural products such as pine cones, evergreens, herbs, etc. If you like ribbons, try using different widths together on a package to give it dimension. I've used pictures as a tag instead of writing who the gift is going to, the photo tells it. Be creative and have fun! Here are some of my favorite styles of gift wrapping along with some links for your convenience. Happy wrapping!!

  I try to do something special for our neighbors, postal deliverer, and others at Christmas time. I saw this idea on Jamie Cooks It up blog post recently and thought what a wonderful idea. This year has been a little taxing on us all and we could always use a pick-me-up.

I just love to make gingerbread houses. It's one of my favorite traditions during the Christmas season. Below are some of the gingerbread creations that my daughter and I made in the past. Some of them were from scratch and some were kits. I hope this gives you some incentive to get your creative juices flowing not only to make something unique but make memories. My grandson's first gingerbread creation. Can you tell he loves trains? He wants to make a Thomas Train this year. Can you tell which were made from scratch from the kits? Which one of the gingerbread creations above is your favorite? I think if I had to choose, my favorite would be the two story house that I made from scratch. (Oops I gave one away) I actually used a pattern that I found online or in a book, I can't remember. It was the most difficult gingerbread house we made. We would love for you to share your gingerbread house creations, whether it be from the past or just recently. Tag us on your social medi

Thanksgiving is this week and we hope you have things you are thankful for. I happen to be thankful that I will have leftover turkey after our Thanksgiving meal. This recipe,  Turkey Dumpling Stew , is a great way to use use it up, is delicious and extremely easy to make. I made this a while ago and wanted to save this blog post until this week, seeing it's that time of year for gobbling up the turkey. When I made this, I had some green beans leftover and thought, why not! You can customize this recipe with whatever leftover meat and veggies you may have leftover. TOTAL TIME:  Prep: 20 min.
