I hope all are enjoying the first day of 2015. My pork roast with kraut is in the oven and the house is starting to have this delicious aroma tickle the taste buds. I hope all of you had a blessed Christmas as we celebrated the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. The past couple of months I have been busy doing many things preparing for the holidays, especially in the kitchen, so I thought I would share some pictures and recipes from this holiday.

| These are my Strawberry/Lemonade Cookies and they are made from two different cake mixes. |
For each cake mix (separately) add to cake mix 1/2 c. oil, 2 eggs, 1 tsp vanilla. Mix in separately. Form into balls the size of acorn. Then press the two together, roll in powder sugar and bake at 350 degrees for 10 - 12 minutes. Cool and enjoy.
