January 2

We are at the tail end of Christmas Vacation. The sun is shining and its beautiful outside but oh its cold, about 29 degrees. We HAD to get out of the house. I took the 2 youngest kids to the park to run off some energy. There were a hand full of other families there so we were not alone! What a great fun and frugal way to spend some time on a Sunday afternoon :).

I tried another new to us recipe tonight Filet au Poivre . Fancy but super easy and oh so delicious! We purchased beef from the farmer however, you could find a great cut of steak on sale or in the clearance section at your local market to make this treat! I picked up the peppercorns at my favorite spice shop Spice Hut

The day wound down getting ready for the week. Updating the family calendar, getting papers, backpacks and whatnot together. Back to the insanity of life!
