Holiday Break!

The semester is finished and I survived :) I was so VERY thankful and ready for a break!!

Today I spent all day (minus a few hours at work) in the kitchen baking and listening to Christmas music- it was lovely. I love to bake for others and enjoy spending hours in a kitchen experimenting when there is time... which is rare. While I work with food WAY too much for my jobs, free time baking is much more fun and much less common :) I am happy to report that after making 8 different items they all turned out well (and no- there are no thin, crunchy cookies my friends :))!

Here is a taste of the some of the results:




This is one of the platters that is going to be delivered :)
(Lft to Rt- White Chocolate Blueberry Cheesecake Cookies, White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Cookies, Holly treats, Mocha Crinkles, Chow Mein Clusters, and a few pretzels sprinkled around)

*not pictured: gluten free chow mein clusters, flourless peanut butter/chocolate/butterscotch cookies, and pretzels with caramel/chocolate!

Now for the rest of break: relaxing with a book, the final shopping, shipping, wrapping, Christmas time with my parents and sisters, and a trip to Phoenix... and time to relax again after I get home in preparation for my final semester of classes :D

Have a WONDERFUL holiday season. Tis the season to celebrate the Saviour :)
