    Default I finally did it! I made all family members....

    homemade gifts for the first time ever..My Dad,Grandmother,Aunt,my two brother's,My SIL and MIL...I made:

    Cinnamon Rock Candy
    Peppermint Bark
    Cashew Brittle
    Banana Bread
    Pumpkin Bread
    Kahlua
    Chicken No Kettelly..it's a hungarian dish that was taught to my mom by and elderly hungarian woman which in return my mom taught me how to make this soup when I was 13yrs old because I would bug her all the time to make it.. I would actually eat this to the point of feeling like I was gonna get sick to my stomach... that's how much I love this soup...there is no recipe for it...there is no person that I know of that doesn't love this dish..It takes at least 3 to 4 hrs to make it and you can not freeze it..I have to figure out how too measure everything to actually comeup with a recipe that I can leave behind to my kids....no one know's how to make it but me & my mom and my mom is dead..


    I'm very proud of myself..I also saved myself alot of stress and money..
