Hellos and Goodbyes 2019

This is going to be a fairly long post, but it’s important, so stick around.  Or don’t.  I’m not your mom and I can’t tell you what to do.

Molasses Cookie Truffles

The greatest teacher, failure is– Yoda

Yes, I just started this Christmas dessert post with a quote from Yoda.  I happened to watch Star Wars: The Last Jedi before a whole bunch of cookie failures, so I thought this appropriate.

Also, I’m married to a HUGE Star Wars fan.  It starts to rub off.

Christmas Fails

I completely dropped the ball on Friday.  In case you were worried that I had fallen off the face of the earth because there was no post, have no fear.  I just totally forgot.

And at this moment, I can’t even remember why I forgot.

This is 31 friends.

The Flurry of Activity

Yesterday we hit the two-week mark until Christmas.  So that means everything is about to get real crazy.  Not only do we have all the regular Christmas and holiday stuff planned, but I could be getting a new niece or nephew any day now.

Exciting times over here.

Brookie Cups

I almost didn’t put this recipe up because it’s barely homemade.  It’s almost a baking cheat recipe and I’m sure more serious bakers will scoff at this.

But it’s so freaking good that I don’t care.
