Thankful

Thanksgiving & Thankfulness

As usual in my family I was asked to make the green bean casserole. It has been a holiday favorite for years. When I first began having Thanksgiving with my husband's family they did not have any green bean casserole, but now it's a staple on the table every Thanksgiving.
I can't help but be reminded of all the many wonderful Thanksgivings I've had with my family. I'm very blessed to have the family that I do, and I am thankful for them.
A few years ago I came up with my own little recipe for candied yams and it's been a family favorite ever since. I allow the marshmallows on top to brown. I love the contrast of sweet yams to the crunch of the marshmallows.
I'm thankful for the gifts and abilities God has given me. I'm thankful that both of my little businesses are flourishing, and that I'm still able to follow my bigger plans for my businesses while coming up with new ideas.
I'm am probably most thankful for my husband. He has been supportive through all my endeavors. I appreciate his friendship more then he will ever know. Even after all these years I find him fascinating, and he still gives me chills when he kisses me. All the wonderful things he does aside I love him just as he is and am thankful to have him and to be with him everyday.

I'm thankful for these things and so many more.

What a wonderful Thanksgiving!

November Bake Sale

Apple Spice Chocolate Chip Cookies
How it got to be November, I'm still not sure, but here we are at the November bake sale.
Due to the number of crochet orders I had with my other business BubbleUp Creations :
I was not able to take anything but my pre-orders this month. I was thankful for them though.
I needed some baking time.
The apple spice chocolate chip cookie is one of my husband's favorites.
It is also one of my top sellers for cookies.

With oats, walnuts, chocolate chips, and apple spice this is a perfect holiday cookie.
Here are a few batches cooling. Notice one missing---that would be my husband's doing. ;)
They come out so soft and gooey!

I sprinkle some apple spice on top.
These cookies go great with hot chocolate.
I sell them for $7 a dozen.

Tonight I have to go home and finish baking the pumpkin spice brownies, and the pumpkin pie! I can't wait!!! :) The November bake sale was so much fun!












These are my kitchen helpers. I love to fill our snowman cookie jar up with cookies. It's funny how I'll come downstairs and find it magically empty. ;)

The holiday baking is in full swing. I can't wait to make candied yams & the green bean casserole! Not much longer until Thanksgiving Day! I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday!

Brownies, Cookies, and Pumpkin Pie-Oh My!

This weekend is another bake sale weekend! Wahoo!

I'm hoping not to be in the kitchen all weekend long like last month. ;)

This month I took pre-orders only since I was booked with orders from my other business. I have missed baking though. I can only go so long before I need to bake something!
