It has been a very busy day at Nico’s kitchen. I finally made it through my Christmas Baking list.
I made Peach Pie, Chocolate Bundt Cake, Butterscotch Brownies (thanks Shaunna), and Apricot Thumbprint Cookies too.
There is even Homemade Cinnamon Rolls for breakfast tomorrow.
They are still a little warm, so I can’t glaze them just yet.
Merry Christmas everyone, and I hope that you are all having a wonderful Holiday season!
I don’t know if Thade can wait one moment longer. Christmas is almost here, and as you’ve probably already guessed I’m so not ready.
Today will be a busy day in the kitchen for Nico. James is also planning on taking us out to lunch at a new restaurant that just opened, and I can’t wait. Today I think I’ll be baking all day, there is a Peach Pie to be made, and Vanilla Glazed Apricot Thumbprint cookies too, and a Chocolate Bundt Cake for tomorrow’s dessert, and if there is time 2 loaves of Homemade Bread. I had better get to it!
I hate to admit this, but yesterday I did NOTHING. I wasn’t feeling too good, thanks to another round of sinus troubles, and today I’m still feeling under the weather, but there is too much to be done. Today I will be spending the entire day catching up on all that needs to be done before Christmas, and all of the normal daily to do’s too.
Both of the kiddos are doing much better, and they almost slept though the night. Thade’s stomach is doing much better, and Dylan’s nose isn’t bothering him too much today. I’ll be drinking plenty of Hot Tea with Honey to help my sore throat. I just hope that we will all be well by Christmas.
I have been looking forward to this day for quite awhile. Tonight we are taking the kiddos to ride the Holiday Trolley. I think it is going to be so much fun, and it will be a wonderful Christmas memory with the kiddos. Thade is looking forward to the Hot Chocolate and the cookies that come along with the Trolley Ride. I can’t wait to see all of the pretty Christmas lights.
Before we can go on the Trolley ride, there are many cookies to be delivered all around town, and an errand to run too. Now if we can just see some warmer weather, we’ll be all set.
Whew! It is now almost 10:00 p.m. and I’m finally finished with some of the Christmas cookies. Today I have been busy in the kitchen baking up a storm.
I no-baked 3 dozen No Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies.
Then on to 8 dozen Snickerdoodles.
Thade really wanted a batch of Star shaped Sugar Cookies, and Christmas Trees too. So I made a big batch of Green and Yellow Icing.
And another 3 dozen cookies.
I finally finished icing the Sugar Cookies this evening, and I bet these cute cookies will go fast.
So far the cookie count is up to 14 dozen cookies, and I’ve still got a lot of Christmas goodies to bake too. After all of that baking, this cookie chef needs a late night snack!
