Sunday is the perfect day to have our candlelight dinner. We just put some sausage potato casserole in the crockpot and popped off to church. Megan put a batch of rolls in the bread maker right before we left. I love big kids!
After church we had the realization that Mark is now in the bishopric. Well, we didn't just realize this...only the part about having to stay late most Sundays in November and December to help with tithing settlement. It's also FAST SUNDAY and everyone is very anxious to eat dinner. So....it was looking like he would miss out on the candlelight dinner.
Lucky for him, I have never quite figured out how to convert this recipe from oven to crockpot. Is it on high for 4 hours? Low for 6 hours? High for 2 hours then low for 2 hours?
I'll tell you what....we now know it isn't low for 5 hours. We walked in from church and the potatoes were still crunchy and the milk/flour and cheese had not yet formed a yummy sauce.
Looks like Mark is going to make it after all!
It seemed like a perfect time to break our fast and make the snowflake tortillas that we missed earlier in the week.
And right around 8:30, we finally heard Mark come in and we all sat down for our long overdue dinner.
It always makes me smile that a few stubby candles can turn a regular dinner into a magical Christmas tradition!
