Happy holiday weekend!

Are your gifts all wrapped? Baking all done? For the first time since Joseph was born, all of our gifts are wrapped before December 23rd! I think last year we finished on the 23rd, the year before it was late on Christmas Eve. Progress!

However, I didn’t get nearly as much baking done this week as I had hoped thanks to coming down with an awful cold. I did get cucidati done before the cold took hold, and I had already made nut roll, Oreo balls, and peppermint bark, but I was hoping to also make snickerdoodles, chocolate crinkles, chocolate chip tea cookies, and snowballs. Womp womp.

I hope you all have a warm, wonderful, and beautiful Christmas holiday with your loved ones. I’ll be back next week with photos from our holiday and my annual top 10 lists!

As always, you’ll find a recap of what was posted to the site this week, the most shared recipes, my Sunday dinner menu, and recipes I’ve bookmarked from other blogs. Enjoy!
