Cookie Challenge

Last weekend we were watching the Iron Chef America Sugar Battle. Great job on the win Paula Deen and Cat Cora, everything looked delicious. The challenge got me thinking about baking Holiday Cookies. I decided it was a good opportunity to get out the cookbooks and look for cookies to bake for Santa. Thade had fun flipping through the cookbooks, and Dylan had fun pushing his cookbook around on the floor 😉

I’m planning on making a ton of cookies this holiday season, so things are going to be very busy in Nico’s Kitchen. I started my list and estimated that I will need to bake 15 dozen. Then I added a few more places that I need to take cookies, and now it is looking more like 20 dozen. If only Paula Deen could come to my rescue 😉

December’s Projects

This month there seems to be something that needs to be done everyday. It looks like it is going to be one super-busy month. Here is what I hope to get accomplished this month:

  • Clean and Organize the Dining Room (before Christmas)
  • Clean and Organize the Kitchen (before Christmas)
  • Deep Clean the Bottom Floor and Upstairs Bathroom (before Christmas)
  • Organize the Boy’s Closet (I’m starting today-Dylan has had a growth spurt)
  • Get the Boy’s Picture taken with Santa (should be next Saturday)
  • Mail out Christmas Cards
  • Bake 12 dozen cookies for Holiday Cookie Plates

There is always the usual Christmas items that need to be done too: cooking, cleaning, entertaining, shopping, it is going to be one busy month 😉  How is your December looking? Are you ready for Christmas, and the holiday guests?
