Pretending like I'm not sick and didn't bruise something from coughing too much, by making all the sweets I can before the holiday baking season is over. Todays menu included cookie butter chocolate bark, mint chocolate bark, and chocolate dipped peanut butter shortbread cookies with a pistachio macaroon crumble. So much sugar. That plus christmas movies, some time with friends, and my comfy couch equals a pretty good day in my book, sick or not.
Super excited and surprised and appreciative to receive a gift from the awesome family I nanny for! The sent me a cookbook that I happily added to my collection. I can't wait to start testing out these recipes; I already know what my first one is going to be…maybe...so many choices, and they all look so good.
And speaking of cooking, I can't wait to taste the peanut butter and salty pretzel chocolate bark I whipped up tonight. It looks delicious and the chocolaty, peanut buttery aroma has now filled my apartment. I'll let you know how it is as soon as it is cooled enough to break in to!
Oh and of course finishing the evening watching the Santa Clause (1, 2 & 3), with the glow of Brenden and my Christmas tree lights in the background. Still pretty obsessed.
