Merry Christmas...

Merry Christmas everyone!

I can't believe it is Christmas Eve...it seems that the month of December is always a blur. As soon as Thanksgiving is over we rush, rush, rush to get everything done and bought and decorated and..and...and then suddenly Christmas is here!

The good news is...I'm ready. Shopping is done...presents are wrapped...food is prepared. And in a few hours we will begin the festivities and head off to Chris' dad's (Marty) house for the afternoon.

Oh...speaking of food...Marty's wife, Kelly, is preparing a Prime Rib for dinner tonight. My contribution for tonight's meal is Country Potatoes. SO delicious...and completely fattening. Perfect for the holidays, no? Oh yes...trust me, you will want to make these potatoes. Country Potatoes are a holiday staple it seems...my aunt got the recipe from a friend several years back and we've been eating them at holiday dinners ever since. They are delicious. In case you want to make a dish of your own...here's the recipe!

Enjoy and have a Merry Christmas!


Country Potatoes

6-7 medium red potatoes - peeled, boiled and grated
1/2 c. butter
1/2 c. minced onion
salt, pepper and paprika to taste
1-can cream of chicken soup
1-pint sour cream
1 1/2 c. grated sharp cheddar cheese
