Christmas in June - Can you believe it?!

Can you believe my last blog post was before Christmas?! After weeks of dissecting, discussing, and of course digesting Christmas Cookie recipes I left my readers in the lurch for almost 6 months! I can’t believe it myself. What is the saying? Time flies when you’re having fun? Well fun (otherwise known as raising a toddler, growing your small business, corralling two dogs and a husband, baking a few pies (more on that later), trying to have some life and maybe a nap or two!) Fast forward from then and we have successfully made it through another great season in South Florida and I am looking forward to the summer ahead to catch up on some big projects, I will certainly share with you, as well as trying to carve out a little bit of that life I was talking about earlier.

And finally…Drum roll please…

The Results of the Christmas Cookie Exchange 2013:

I Won!

Ina Garten’s Linzer Cookies took home the grand prize of best tasting cookie of the night. Not to sound too egotistical but as soon as I tasted that shortbread and raspberry jam combination I knew I had it in the bag. With that much butter and sugar in one cookie – how could I not win? For those of you that missed it here is the prize winning recipe: Mini Linzer Cookie Recipe. And just to get you a bit more into the holiday spirit here are some pictures from our first annual Christmas Cookie Exchange.

Our host, Elva (our Quilter extraordinaire) has a Christmas tree for every room!

And of course I can't resist a beautiful picture of my mom (in white) 

 

Only 205 more days till Christmas!!

To whom it may concern (and I would imagine that it concerns quite a few of you if you had as many of these cookies as I did.) I would like to say that I truly enjoyed all the cookies it was my privilege to sample and consume during the contest. The winners were good, make no mistake but I enjoyed each and every entry I was given to judge. I enjoyed them so much that during my annual physical I was given a good tongue lashing by my doctor and placed on a three month diet of roasted garlic triscuit, psyllium husk, and water. My friends remember all other things in moderation and otherwise all the cookies you can eat. Yum, Yum, Yum.
