December was one of those months where I barely left the kitchen, but I forgot to take photos. I do have just a few photos to share with you.

I made the kiddos a Giant Chocolate Chip Cookie for an afternoon snack. I sliced it up like a pizza, and they finished it in one setting.

With the kids home on Christmas break, the kitchen has become a 24 hour diner. I’m shoveling out sandwiches, snacks, and meal after meal. Speaking of snacks, this was a batch of Hot Cocoa Brownies. They needed to be eaten with a fork because they were super giant and messy.

I made some (vegan) Giant Soft Pretzels. The breadmaker did the tough part of mixing and taking care of the first proofing. I’m getting a bit better at my pretzel rolling skills.

I also whipped up some Homemade Cheddar Cheese Dip for the kids. The tiny kiddos went crazy for this dip, but Thade prefers his with Mustard. Every single pretzel was gone in a hurry. Next time around I am going to have to double or triple the recipe.

Then it was time for Christmas… There were pies, cakes, snacks, two meals, lots of family, and the house is still trashed. This pie is my RR Cherry Pie before it went in the oven.

I’m still cooking and cleaning. The kids are back to school on Tuesday, so I hope to get the house back together sometime next week. We’ll see though, I’m exhausted.
