hash brown muffins~ get all your breakfast favorites in muffin formI have to admit… I have been slacking here lately. ‘Tis the season for cookie-making, craft-making, present-buying, fingerprinting and drug testing! Whhaaaat? Yep, I had to go get fingerprinted and it was really cool. Did you know that they don’t use ink anymore? Well, I didn’t! It’s been awhile, I guess. It’s all computer and laser. My drug test is today… so I don’t have any cool stories about that. Maybe tomorrow. I’m hoping to teach some cooking classes to kids. How cool?! Candy this this year: Christmas nougat Toffee Fudge Rum Balls Eggnog Truffles Sugarplums Cookies: gingerbread sugar pecan tassies ….and two others, but I am having trouble deciding. Hmmm.
First of all, I know I need to announce a winner. You guys have probably been on the edge of your seats, huh? I had one of those surprise-busy days yesterday; but I was happy about it since I was honored to be a friend that can- and will be there.

Speaking of cranberries and Thanksgiving- black Friday is coming up but, this year I think I will call it Black Thriday, since certain retailers are starting their sales Thursday night. Hmmm, There is a bright side to that, however: I used to only have from 4am-6am to shop on black Friday. (I had to be home in time for hubby to leave for work) NOW, I can shop all night long. ( insert Lionel Ritchie song) of course, this means that by the time I return home I will have been up 24hours straight- but hey coffee can work wonders… right? I decided that this year, I may bring my little camera and get some pics. Maybe. We’ll see. Would you like that? I need feedback. By the way, I get dressed to shop. You’d be amazed how many women I saw in their robes at 4am last year. If you’re going to the trouble of putting on socks and shoes, may an effort to put a t-shirt on, people.

Holiday breakfast casserole and other Floridian tales… A few days ago, I was asked to share a holiday memory and a recipe. Of course, the recipe part was easy- sort of. Deciding on which one to share was a bit hard- because honestly, there are so many tasty things that show up only [...] 
cinnamon pancakes with caramel apple topping~ breakfast meets Fall Most of y’all know I was sick all last week. And, this being a food blog- the last thing I wanted to do was cook. So, that meant not a lot of material to post. However, it did give me a chance to catch [...]  |

That’s the reason for the screening. And the fingerprints. We’ll see what happens in the new year. Speaking of all this stuff going on… how are you doing? I’m in the craft/cookie/candy phase. It’s triple c week here, because it’s the one time of year I can buy sugar at Costco and actually use it all.
