The Children were nestled in their beds fast asleep....

... while mom snuck another scoop of this holiday treat!

I have always been weak for a big scoop of peppermint ice cream and I have to say that Dreyer's (known as Edy's back east) makes TDF Slow Churned Holiday flavors.
One of them just happens to be Peppermint Stick! Mmmmm Mmmm!
I don't know how they pull it off, but their "slow churned" varieties supposedly contain 1/2 the fat of regular ice cream and it's fabulous! So that being said, perhaps I need to go have just one more scoop! ;0)
Oh and by the way, they have an Egg Nog and Pumpkin flavor available that I need to give a try!

One of my faves!

I thought I'd share a recipe as I start to kick off my holiday baking season :0)
This one has got to be one of my favorites!
Think...soft, moist, melt-in-your-mouth gingerbread cookies!
Yum!
My family always enjoys these. My mother passed down this recipe to me and I always remember as a child how much I enjoyed these.
Simply slip on a festive apron, play some Christmas tunes and be prepared to fill you home with the sweet aroma of a "spicy" holiday!
Enjoy!

OOPS! The directions say "vanilla" in the first step. Please realize that there is no vanilla in this recipe and was printed by mistake. You may add 1 teaspoon of vanilla to the recipe if you like ;0)

My Home Town

Hello everyone, sorry it's been awhile! I've been busy with orders and getting ready for my sons birthday! He has informed me he wants a turkey dinner for his party! Imagine how busy I'll be! So I've been taking baby steps toward the meal. Today we made our cranberry sauce and jello salad.I will post more this coming week. Until then, I leave you with a view of my hometown from the bleachers at my daughter's field hockey game at Fallbrook High. She had her last game yesterday and won ;)
