It's The Holiday Season!

Hello all!

It's that time of year again - the HOLIDAY SEASON! I know I haven't blogged lately but with the holidays here I have to believe that I will  have tons of baking to do! Thanksgiving was this past Thursday and I baked like there was no tomorrow! I asked everyone else in my family to please NOT bring dessert because I knew I could fill a table with treats myself [and I happen to enjoy baking, duh]! Below are the items I made.. most [if not all] I have blogged about:

  • Ice Cream Cake [p.s. I made this 5 days in advanced and it was AWESOME.. held up perfectly out of the freezer and didn't melt too quickly! This is always a HUGE hit with the kids]
  • Frozen Key Lime Pie
  • Apple Crumb Pie [served with vanilla ice cream of course]
  • Gram's Cheesecake [with fresh strawberries]
  • Mini Cheesecakes [with caramel, chocolate, or cherry topping]
  • Chocolate Chip Cookies
  • Cream Puffs - Chocolate and Vanilla filling
  • Vanilla Cupcakes
  • Chocolate Oreo Cupcakes [actually these were for a family party right after thanksgiving]

I had a great time baking this Thanksgiving… I'm so grateful for all of the many blessings in my life at the moment… I have the BEST family and friends anyone could ask for, and of course I'm thankful for my blog for helping me discover so many wonderful treats that I now have in my back pocket and can whip up at any time!

Stay tuned - I hope to bake some more soon and then of course put out another crazy spread for Christmas :) Can't wait to try out some new Christmas Cookie recipes!
