GroopDealz

Ok... not a fun post but it has to be done.....

This Christmas I used quite a bit of online shopping, almost everything I bought was online.  I was struggling with vision issues and was waiting on surgery so driving was not an option.  Most of my purchases turned out just fine, I was billed the proper amount, items arrived when expected, etc... BUT THEN.....I ordered from GroopDealz.  My goodness I was so incredibly disappointed.  The items I purchased were so cheaply made and then there were the items that didn't ship when promised and then of course the items that never showed up yet I paid for them.

I don't want to make this long, I just want to share my experience.  Unfortunately I will never use GroopDealz again.

Ok, on to more happy stuff!

Chicken Gnocchi Soup (kinda like what Olive Garden serves)

My son LOVES Olive Gardens Chicken Gnocchi Soup and asked me to make it for him.. (uh~hu, ya right).  My first step was to google for much needed help!  I came across a wonderful lady who recreates all the great dishes we enjoy at the big restaurants.  I was a little concerned about how this would taste because my son is super picky, but it was spot on!  He loved it and it was rather easy to make  Yay me!

My latest crafty project.....

Sock Monkey hats!  I've had just too much fun creating these fun and easy sock monkey hats.  They are a little silly but tons of fun......

(This girly sock monkey hat is for my sis, I had to try it on for size. I made it a little long so its droopy in the back but I'm ok with it, she has tons of room to pile her hair on her head and still wear a hat.  (Is this called justification?  hmmm...) I was also worried that I made the ear flaps too tight around the face but for my sis it will work, she has a beautiful and petite face.  I'm not sure where she would ever wear this but it's kinda just for fun plus it kept me busy while waiting for surgery...

Fluffy Dinner Rolls

I've been using the same dinner roll recipe for years, which is also my favorite bread recipe, however.... I needed something different to happen with my dinner rolls.  I wanted yummy, fluffy, easy dinner rolls and I finally found them! 

Here is the amazingly easy recipe, thanks to the darling ladies at How Does She?.......

*The recipe recommends doing this all by hand...  I've made these using my KitchenAid and totally by hand.  I'm not sure I noticed a difference.  If I have the time, I have no problem mixing by hand but that sure doesn't happen very often.

Malibu Chicken

I love Malibu Chicken!  I'm not a huge Sizzler fan however, when I do go I always order and enjoy their Malibu Chicken.  Here is an easy recipe from Chef in Training.  I think its actually better than what Sizzler serves.  Give it a try!
