Christmas is Next Week

I am looking forward to Christmas at my daughter's.  I will get to see my latest new little great granddaughter for the first time.  There will be lots of little ones to open their gifts.  Also will be lots of good food and many treats.  Everyone does so much baking of fine cookies and candy this time of the year.  I hope the weather cooperated and is nice so everyone can travel here. It is so dark and gloomy today that I have a lamp on so I can see this keyboard.  There won't be any sunshine today :0(

Tea and Cookies

There is nothing better than a good hot cup of tea and one or two fresh cookies. I decided last night I was going to bake some cookies. I had purchased a box of ready to bake frozen chocolate chunk cookies from the two Girl Scouts next door. I had the box in the freezer and decided it was time to bake some. They are already to put on your cookie sheet and nothing could be easier. You can bake a dozen or two. It makes it easy to have just a few around. Or if you have company coming, bake a couple dozen. I think there are about 4 dozen in the box so I have lots more I can bake and enjoy.

Bake me a Cake

Here is the future baker of America. He has his baker's hat on and is ready to go. I hope he can make me a delicious chocolate cake. I have been hungry for one. He is ready and willing with his little kitchen to make all kinds of goodies to eat. He's having a lot of fun.

Cold Weather

It is no time to remove the sheet blankets from the bed yet. One night it is so warm, you have windows open and almost sleep on top of the covers. Then just like that, the temperatures drop and you pull the blankets up around your neck to stay warm. The furnace did get a rest for a few days but it was short lived. It is good weather to have something baking in the oven. It helps heat the whole house and smells good too.

Sticky Buns with Pecans

Yum Yum! One of my favorite foods is cinnamon rolls. But sticky buns with pecans has got to be the best. Don't they look delicious? You can see them and the recipe on our granddaughter-in-law's blog They Call Me Old Fashioned. You can get great ideas on decorating cookies and cupcakes too and much more. It makes you hungry just reading her blog.
