Sunday at the Warners

I love Sundays. They are my favorite days of the week.

A time of rest and spiritual renewal. 

I especially like the time spent together as a family.

We always have a nice meal together and then we watch a movie 

and once in awhile I can talk them in to playing games. 

(my favorite)

My favorite tradition is the family does the dishes on Sunday.

Lucky me!

The gang doing the dishes together. 

I love Sundays!

Neil doing dishes. Russ see he does help out sometimes.

Games are something I love to play. 

It is so fun to sit around and talk and spend time together.

Kinsey is my big game player. I am so glad she likes to play games. 

Sammy is so so on games. But she's a good sport.

My Silly Girls.

Neil looks bored but really he is just losing.

Baked Potatoe's - Family Tradition????

Fluff with a fork... Put lots of butter on it add salt & pepper then cheese. Make sure it is melted.

My family (minus my sweet vegan Kinsey) favorite Sunday Dinner. Steak, Baked Potatoe, bread sticks and corn on the cob. We had this meal yesterday. Early for corn but it was actually good. I got the corn from Harmon's. The sign said fresh corn from California. We have summer/spring fever and wanted to grill out. It was yummy!!


Can a baked potatoe be a family tradition? Well it is in the Warner household. Huh you ask. Well Neil likes butter and cheese on his baked potatoes and many many years ago he asked me to fix his potatoe. I do it for him one time. Being the nice...wife that I am and after that it was could you fix it please? You do it so good. You do it so good is code for I want you to do it.

Well after 23 years of marriage it has long been a tradition. I do it so good and I fix the baked potatoe just like Neil likes. Fluff with a fork...butter, salt & Pepper and cheese. Making sure the cheese gets melted.

Ok I know you are all thinking... Old Fashioned. He can fix his own potatoe. What???? or some other version. I say I love it. I knew I had created a family tradition when my son who is living in Mexico and had been away from home only a few months said one of the things he missed was Sunday Dinners and me fixing his baked potatoe. To me that is SUCCESS!!!

Hopefully my family won't put "she fixed the best baked potatoes" on my head stone. But hey I guess there are worse things to be known for.

Bottom line is I love making Sunday Dinners and I love making my family happy. One more tradition I should tell you about so you don't think I am totally old fashioned. My husband and kids do sunday dishes. Lucky me!

Our Family Favorite C.C. Cookies Warner Style

These cookies are probably my familys favorite treat. I am going to post the recipe and maybe you will try them too. Yummy!!!

C.C. Cookies
2 cup margarine
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
4 eggs
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp vanilla
6 cups flour
1 1/2 cups coconut
1 package Nestle milk choc chips
1 package Reese's peanut butter chips


Make sure margarine is softened before you make these cookies. Cream together margarine and sugar after mixed add eggs and vanilla. Then add flour and baking soda. Add coconut and both kinds of chips. No substituting on the kind of chips (very important). Mix together and scoop out with a small scoop (like a mini ice cream scoop they are awesome). I love my silpat to line the pan with. Well worth buying. Bake 8-10 at 350 This makes alot of cookies. If your going to the trouble of making them ya might as well make a lot. There is plenty of dough for eating (Neil's favorite) and even some cookies to share with friends and neighbors.
Let me know if you try this recipe and if you liked it and are now hooked on the Warner way!!!
