Mini-Cheeseburgers

Oh my goodness. I can't believe we got so cold again. I think I need to get Prissy a little heating pad. This cold weather plays havoc with her joints. No joke. I think I might even try that. She did not even want to go outside today. We went one time and she just turned around and zipped back in the door.

I think the cold weather helped me decide on this weeks card. Classes start at 10:00 am on both Tuesday and Thursday mornings. The layout will begin at 11:00 on Thursday. This will be our new start times permanently.

Our recipe today is a great little thing to make up and have in the freezer for a quick snack or a emergency supper. Thanks to Southern Living recipes for this little recipe.
