Dinner Ideas for the Week

Autumn is officially here, and I love so many things about it, the changing warm colors, being able to snuggle more because of the cooler temperatures, enjoying hot drinks, using the fireplace, and my hubby would add football to the list. 😛

Do you know that you can make some fun or pretty shapes out of frozen cool whip to add to your hot drinks?

I show you how in this post, but it’s really simple, just spread and freeze some cool whip in a pan, and then use a cookie cutter to cut out the shapes you want, and then surprise someone you love with the fanciness!

Ok, here’s some yummy dinner ideas:

My dessert choice for the week is this scrumptious Gingerbread with just a hint of molasses in it!
Isn’t it a beautiful color too?
