It'll be a miracle . . .

If I don't gain 50 pounds this break.

(Let's ignore the fact that I look like I'm 5 years old and have no neck in this picture. No wonder i get asked if I want the kiddie menu at restaurants.)

The ingredients. For all the holiday cookies/awesome treats I've volunteered to make.

That would be...several bags of milk chocolate chips, semi-sweet, and butterscotch chips, Mint M&M's, candy canes, german chocolate cake mix, peanut butter, andes mints, coconut, oats, white chocolate chips, white chocolate bark, nuts, hershey kisses, pretzals, jam, and a few other things I can't recall right now . . . hehe

Thumbprint cookies.

German Chocolate Cookies (my personal favorite. The recipes on my cooking blog :)

No bake cookies

The finished products for the day

I'm just saying...I would most definitely want to be friends with the Barker family this Christmas season.

And I don't think that this helps convince anyone that I'm not addicted to cookies, eh? In my defense, I really didn't eat that many. And I'm gonna be hitting up the gym every day that I can. There's just something about having any cooking supplies I want to make anything I want, a big kitchen, and a mother who's more than willing to turn the cooking reins over to me, that makes me just want to spend as much time in the kitchen as possible. Oh how I love being home.

Round two begins soon. Right after I go to Qdoba with Megan. Can I just say how long I've been waiting for this. Qdoba = Love.

I saw Julie and Julia last night for the first time. Loved it. I mean, it combined two of my favorite things. Cooking and Blogging. It made me wish I could do an awesome blog like that. Suggestions? I actually just found that Julie girl's actual blog...Yay! And can I just say my favorite part of that movie was that Chloe from 24 was in it? Love her.
