This winter has been cruel to us so far! It got so cold so fast this is like January/February weather not December! Oh well, what do you do? I'm currently working on my extra fat layer to keep warm. Hot chocolate made with whole milk and pasta at 3 pm? Perfection.
So us Minnesotan's do what we do best. Keep talking about the weather, bake monsterous amounts of things, and dream of wonderful warmth and sunshine! The winter season is exactly why I do not complain about summer like the other 88% of us do. So many midwesterners hate hot humid weather but I say BRING IT ON! It's so short lived I say "shut your yap and soak it up or stay in your air conditioning" So there! Just saying I would not mind 90 degrees and sticky right now.
Last week we had a Christmas cookie exchange aaaand it was pretty much the best day of the month. All kinds of cookies. Cookies left and cookies right. I made molasses cookies dipped in white chocolate and peppermint. It was a joyful spectacle, and yes my husband and I have nearly eaten them all. Oops. Side note the pirate is also a fan of cookies, each and every single one he enjoyed. How could he not? He is my child afterall.
- Make molasses cookies
- Crush candy canes into itty bitty pieces
- Melt white chocolate chips
- Dip cooled off cookie in white chocolate the sprinkle with peppermint
- Boom
And what do you do when your cooped up inside all day? Baby projects duh!!! My mother in law made the hand print Christmas tree and today Noah and I did the raindeer footprint. 12 more days until Christmas I better think of more projects!
