Chocolate Truffles

What is Christmas without a few Truffles?

My brothers later nicknamed these as "chocolate coma balls" because they are so rich they will put you in a chocolate coma. :) That doesn't sound so bad.
You could chose between the white chocolate or milk chocolate. Each was sprinkled with peppermint sugar. Inside there was either a gooey chocolate center, or a eppermint chocolate center.

They were so much fun to make!

Sweet Christmas Sugar Cookies

~Nothing says Christmas better than sweet, soft, sugar cookies decorated by hand .~

And yes-everything is made from scratch.

For Christmas my husband wanted me to make our families sugar cookies.
On Christmas day I was hand painting these beautiful sugar cookies.
I felt in the Christmas spirit as I was making these goodies for the people I love.

We went to Andy's family's home first on Christmas Day for the usual get together.
As always it was so much fun. :)

The candy canes took on a heart theme this year.
Some of these were served on the 26th when my family arrived to spend a few weeks with us.

One of my favorites.

This one was a special one for my husband.

A few freshly painted vanilla sugar cookies.

Everyone told me that they were so soft. :)

They were so much fun to make & I loved sharing them with my family.

A selection I took to the Christmas party.

The snowman is my one of my favorites-because of the hearts.

I may have eaten him...

I plan to possibly sell these next Christmas online on etsy.

I loved putting sprinkles on some of the cookies.

I loved how the gingerbread people came out. I think my nephews also enjoyed biting their heads off. lol.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!

~Merry Christmas & God bless us everyone!!!~

Our Ramen Noodle Soup

My husband introduced me to the movie Ponyo-I've been in love ever since.

This would be my first attempt at drawing Ponyo.I think they are both so cute!

After watching the movie I wanted to make the ramen soup pictured above.

Andy and I chose the ingredients and just peiced things togehter as best we could. We made a great team. We bought fresh ingredients, msg free chicken broth, and went home to start cooking. Our finished product was delicious, healthy, and now a favorite meal.

Noodles, ham, mushrooms, chives, cilantro, egg, spices, & a little love transformed this into a delicious soup. It's a combination of ramen & egg drop soup.

I loved being over the warm stove and stirring the soup. It smelled so good.


Another drawing of Ponyo I've done. I highly suggest watching it. It's a wonderful movie.
