Weekly Menu: Monday, December 17 - Thursday, December 20

This is my last post before Christmas.  It is hard for me to believe that Christmas is just around the corner.  Where did this year go?  I don't know about you, but after the senseless killings in Connecticut last week, I am actually going to take the time to enjoy this holiday season.  I am going to soak in every minute I get to spend with family and friends.  I am going to watch White Christmas, It's a Wonderful Life, Christmas Vacation and How the Grinch Stole Christmas as many times as I can.  I am not going to worry if my presents are perfectly wrapped, or if everything goes according to plan.   If we have learned anything this year, life is too short and too precious to waste one minute of it.  So, I am going to tell my family I love them, spend some quality time with my husband and snuggle my lil' boy every chance I get.  

 Merry Christmas from Momma Aimone's Kitchen to yours!

Stocking Your Freezer: Pork Chop Marinades and Rubs
