I have several things going today. We are cold and somewhat icy here, so it’s a good day to make comfort food. I had a pork loin that I needed to cook, so I am doing that in the crockpot with onions, carrots, garlic, and a spicy Asian-flavored sauce that will cook all day. Should make some good sandwiches tomorrow. School is out here due to weather, and I have a grandson with me today. For him, I have a pot of creamy homemade chicken and dumplings on the stove, and a loaf of homemade bread ready to go in the oven. I made a vanilla cake last night, with good homemade buttercream vanilla icing that I decorated with two-tone buttercream rosettes. I did the rosettes in shades of blue for my grandson. We are fat and happy here today, at least until the power goes out! I like cooking when it’s cold and dreary outside.
I just love chicken and dumplings. Your grandson is so lucky. Cake sounds great too. Talk about chalking up amazing grandparent memories!
There is something so delicious about a vanilla cake w/ vanilla buttercream. Yours sounds beautiful & wonderful! Save me a piece please.........
