I finally got all of the Christmas Cookie Plates together, and I only have one more to deliver. My little kitchen table was very full of yummy treats. We still have a few left, but they are going fast. Happy Baking everybody!

What a Long Night
Last night was one of those nights. Thade was up late and Dylan was up on the hour. I think Dylan is having teething troubles, and today I am completely wiped out. I had such high hopes of getting a few things accomplished today, but my mind is so starved for sleep, that I can’t seem to figure out what to do or where to start on all of the tasks.
There are a few good sales going on at Walgreens and Dillons this week, I bet I could find some pretty good deals on Christmas dinner supplies. I don’t know if I have the energy to go and shop though.
How I wish I could fit in a long nap 😉
All Baked Out
Well I’m finally all finished, and I am beat. Today I ended up making a little over 17 dozen cookies, 209 total. That brings my holiday cookie baking total up to 280 cookies! Not all of the cookies made it into the pictures though, we had to sample a few of them 😉
A Baker’s Dozen
Cookie Day is finally here! Thade is pretty excited, and me too. I can’t wait to get to baking! Today I’m baking at least 12 dozen cookies, but I’ll probably bake 14-15 dozen so we can have some for weekend snacking. I’ll be baking or no-baking:
- Coconut Macaroons
- No Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies (Thade’s favorite)
- Wedding Cake Cookies
- Candy Bar Cookies (James favorite)
- Double Chocolate M&M Cookies (might be Thade’s new favorite)
I’ll be freezing the extra dough (not the macaroons though) and baking again right before Christmas. I think I need another cup of coffee to get me started.
We also have a few chores and errands to do today. So here is what else we have planned for today:
- Assemble 4 Christmas Cookie Plates to deliver tomorrow
- Pick-up new Prescription at Dr’s office
- Go to Walgreens (maybe)
- Visit Hubby at work (afternoon)
- Clean the dining room table
- Empty Upstairs Waste Baskets
- Empty Downstairs Waste Baskets
- Take out the trash, and take trash cans to the alley
Yeah I definitely need another cup of coffee, or maybe two 😉
Something Stinky
I was starting to get my appetite back this afternoon, so I went to the kitchen for a snack. I thought some Triscuits and Camembert Cheese sounded yummy. The only thing was I wanted the Camembert a little melty, so I thought I would pop the cheese and crackers in the microwave for about 15 seconds. Not a good idea! My melty snack turned into a stinky snack all too quickly. Lesson learned never ever put Camembert Cheese in the microwave unless you want to clean a stinky microwave. Oh well, they can’t all be kitchen successes 😉
