It's getting really close to Christmas, y'all. Every Monday during the month of December I take a minute to gather my thoughts. What Christmas presents do I have left to buy? When should I start shopping for Christmas dinner? What all needs to be cleaned before family comes down? That list is getting shorter and… Continue reading Cranberry Orange Scones

Frosted Gingerbread Bars
I just had a bit of unintentional stress this morning. My parents are coming down here for Christmas this year, and my mom and I are going to make a full turkey Christmas dinner. Since my apartment's kitchen isn't the hugest, we decided to order pies from our favorite pie place (Pie Junkie) that way… Continue reading Frosted Gingerbread Bars

This cookie cake I made for work on Monday is probably the sweetest thing I've… Continue reading Candy Cane Cookie Cake
Turkey & Cranberry Sliders
Whoever invented the Hawaiian roll slider, bless them. I've made these things a dozen different times in a dozen different ways. They always turn out marvelous. There's just something about Hawaiian rolls that makes them so good. You could probably slap a piece of tree bark and gravel between two sides of a Hawaiian roll… Continue reading Turkey & Cranberry Sliders
