Belated Weekend Recap

Hola peeps and happy Tuesday.  Anyone else get engulfed by the wildfire smoke over the weekend?  Three days straight for us with lots of air quality alerts.  I hope my Canadian friends are doing okay. It was a bit of a lazy weekend to start until it wasn't.  (Thanks to me, I'm sure the Mr is mumbling under his breath.). I have been throwing myself into projects this month to keep myself from spiraling over Mom's birthday this week.  Not to mention constantly fighting every aspect of gardening and I swear I typed that sentence before that last time I tried in 2020.  I have fungus gnats in the elevated planters because of all of the damn rain we've been getting and the soil can't dry out for them to die off.  So I got some mosquito dunks that can be cut into 1/8's and put into a gallon of water overnight and then water the area to kill the larvae then dry the soil to kill the adults.  This is apparently common with organic gardening but frustrating...

  1. I still love those ornament truffles. They are quite yummy but I also got the chance to see them go from an idea on a post-it note to seeing them in "print" to getting to eat them. And don't even get me started on those gingersnap truffles and those eggnog cookies. Mmmmmm. Hard to choose a favorite in all of these.

  2. Thanks for posting this! It's going to save me time looking for the ones I want to make. I need to just print the ones I want so I have them in my holiday recipes book. You know, that cookbook of favorite holiday recipes that I keep meaning to put together. Yeah, that one.

  3. Wow--all those pictures look great. I am especially intrigued by those ginger truffles. I love ginger cookies (can you say Biscoff?) I also really like the "less than 30-minutes" part. Can't wait!!! Thanks too for the links to great recipes from Christmases past!
