After sharing with you how we celebrated Christmas and how we rang in the New Year, for this foodie, it is also deemed necessary to share with you what we filled our tummy with during those special family gatherings. Tee-hee. I’ve already shared with you the delicious desserts that my SIL prepared on Christmas Eve. Now it’s time for more goodness.

I don’t make resolutions but it is my goal this year to gain a little weight. I’ve already gained two pounds over the holidays. Yeah! Eight more pounds to go and I am good to go! (“,)
And next, it’s not long till our anniversary. I do wonder what delights will grace the table when hubby takes me out for that special dinner? And right after that is Valentine’s Day and then hubby’s birthday, all occurring within 17 days. February is going to be a busy month, not only for us but for my tummy too!
I’m so hungry now! All of your pictures look so delicious. Yum!
They were all delicious. Actually, I am hungry now too just by looking at them. (“,)
And now, I need to go make breakfast! You really know how to eat during the holidays! It all looks so delicious!
They really were delicious! (“,)
Cracker Barrel is always a stop for us when we travel. The little store is entertaining to walk through and stretch your legs before and after the huge meal.
I couldn’t agree more. We actually browsed the store after we had our dinner. Lots of cute stuff in there.
I have never eaten at any Cracker Barrel but our neighbor works there. I heard they serve delicious meals.
You should try it there. Really good food!
I did pig out, but not like u used to.. i have come to far to go back.. ok so i am very hungry right now.
I really really think you’re ok. You don’t need to put on any weight — at all. Unless it’s a medical thing. But really, you look great na.
Thank you, Russ. I appreciate your comment. I lost weight a couple of years ago and I just want it back. (“,)
Wow this all looks so great! I would pig out too with all of that available! Yum
Oh…. that TGI Fridays food! It’s been so long since I ate out. I really need to eat now. In fact, my tummy is rumbling. Ha ha!
oooh that cheescake looks delish! I pigged out over the holidays. Now I’m trying to undo what I did. hehe
Your food looks amazing! Every year I swear I won’t over do it and then I do. I would have pigged out on that all too 🙂
I am not going to lie, seeing all that food made me so hungry! I am a fried rice girl as well, so I would have piled up my plate with that as well.
I love fried rice! Now, I am craving some. Haha.
I’m really eyeing the fried rice and bacon cheese burger. Ma’am, I would have had the best culinary experience with you. Oh that food looks delicious.
That looks like amazing food. I’m so hungry right now LOL. I pigged out way too much over the holidays, and am now trying to watch what I eat.
I’m hungry just looking at the pictures. Holidays are fun but weight gain is something I’m staying away from.
Yum yum yum. I love chinese food and that bacon cheeseburger looks pretty good too lol. I pigged out over the holidays too.
I ate so much during the holidays too! Have to start losing weight now, urgh…
Those foodies sounds delicious. Wish I could have a bite or two of the bacon burger.
That bacon cheeseburger looks really good. But that Ruben looks amazing. Love those!
You and my husband have the same taste. (“,)
Gee, thanks! Now I MUST have a reuben. And I live 30 minutes from the nearest anything.
That’s quite a ride. Fortunately, we live so close to everything. (“,)
I have never been to Cracker Barrel. I will definitely have to give it a try.
You should. (“,)
Food galore! Sounds like you had an awesome holidays, and I’m amazed that you *only* put on 2 lbs after eating all of that…! Good luck with your goal, it sounds like a fun one. 😀

LOL. Thanks for the good luck. I think I would need that. (“,)
I love TGIFs….I actually tried to go myself for Christmas Eve…got there too late and they closed!! Crackle barrel has great food for affordable prices!
Yup, affordable yet so delicious! (“,)
My biggest problems over the holidays was the cookies. Everyone kept giving us cookies. Ugh.
We didn’t get any. You might want to send some of it here. LOL.
I saw these on Facebook and they looked good there. Clicking over to the article there’s even more good stuff, woot!
Woot! (“,)
You’ve had some lovely meals lately! I’ve been going out for dinner more and more since the New Year but I’m loving it 🙂
I love going out for dinner too. If only we could do it every night. LOL.
You can invite me to dinner with you any time you want. Yum!!
Haha. Sure, Lisa. Will give you a yell. (“,)
Geez! Everything looks so good.
I’m in food coma right now. 😛
Too funny! (“,)
I would settle for the brown rice, ham, and hash. Yum!
