What I'm Reading This Week #14
Annnnd we're revving into Friday. source I must start with a teary goodbye to Val Kilmer. No lie, three days before he passed I got the song " How Silly Can You Get " from the movie Top Secret in my head out of nowhere. I hadn't seen a reference, heard anything about him and definitely hadn't heard that song in 20+ years. I said to the Mr "I wonder how Val is doing?" then I soon got my answer. I remember seeing Top Secret at the drive in with Mom when it came out. When Real Genius came out on HBO, it was one of the few movies my Dad and I bonded over, is in my top five movies of all time and is the Mr and I's love language after I make him king of the winter carnival. source Anyone who followed Val's career and personal life over the decades knows he got a little out of the box and didn't settle for norms which also included his approach to his throat cancer. He lived authentically himself which is something we all hope to say when o...
My coworkers are going to love these! Nice job!
ReplyDeleteI know we both thought they were pretty dang good! The vanilla that's already in there and then the addition of cinnamon. Boo-ya! Delish!
DeleteThese definitely look great! Super easy too - my favorite part.
ReplyDeleteThat's my motto this year...super easy. I was lazy, I'm paying for it but it's forcing me to come up with things that are quick to do with things holidays bakers may already have on hand.
Deletethey look so good and so easy to make...will make these one of these days for work...
ReplyDeleteEasy peasy baby! Good thing is you can make 'em any time of year. I suggest giving some to your boss when a review is coming up or when you're about to hit someone up for a favor! :-)
DeleteThese look so tasty and easy! I love snicker doodles, but sometimes I just don't have the time to make them. These look very doable, and I love that they use up a box of something left over. As usual, ALL of your treats this year look delicious...I've been pinning, pinning, pinning! Thanks for sharing š
ReplyDeleteP.S. I think of you and my Grammy every time I see my gumdrop tree. Did you put yours out this year? (And I mean that as a huge compliment - not saying you're old! All good memories...)
Yes, I was glad I didn't have to throw out the box of almost full cookies and they're already gone at the Mr's work which might be a record. Thanks so much for pinning! Glad you like them!
DeleteYes, I have the gumdrop tree up and it was taken as a compliment! ;) It's on the armoire where everyone can see it. I did redo the makeshift base they gave me with a little fancy paper, clear glitter and washi tape.
I've been kind of feeling guilty that I'll have no time for holiday baking this year, but these are totally doable! :D
ReplyDeleteThey're totally doable! Box o' cookie + almond milk = truffles in any flavor! :-)
DeleteAnother gem! I notice I'm usually the last one to respond on your blogs because I don't get to log on at home until about 6pm. You just wait until a I have a day off missy (or Mrs) I'm going to be on the top of the list! =o)
ReplyDeleteThanks mama! I know and I do try to make it back over here to respond when I'm not having a brain fart. When you comment earlier, I'm always like "ahh, she has some time off!" :-)
DeleteI've got a couple bags of Biscoff cookies in my pantry and was wondering how they would taste prepared this way. My guess? Delicious. I'm gonna try it cause I don't need those cookies sitting around tempting me after Christmas.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah babe. I grind up Biscoff's to make pie crust and truffles. You can also add the crumbs to peanut butter for some crunch, a topping for a sundae, etc.
