Thirty-one Days of Lor-cipies

My Christmas Gift to You

 

 

 

Today, I'm catching up, and posting three recipes instead of one. (I took a little break from the Internet, to show a little respect and pray for everyone directly affected by the massacre in Connecticut.)

So, a quick rundown of the contest: Try this one, then post a photo of it at my Facebook page, and I'll put your name in my handy Santa hat, and you could win a basket filled with Maryland goodies that's valued at $100!




Happy slow cooking!  And trust me...this one's harder to pronounce than it is to prepare!
