1. I came across this recipe the other day in my recipe box. It is the closest recipe we have to my great-grandmother’s Molasses Cookies. Let me tell you, these cookies are amazing! But no one in my family can quite replicate them because my grandmother died many years ago. When she gave the recipe out to my mom and grandmother, the ingredients were always a bit off because my grandma never really wrote the recipe down anywhere. Well, now that I’ve re-discovered the recipe, I need to make it. I need these cookies. My memories over her are very much tied to her cooking, so I need to replicate these cookies and lately, I find myself missing her a lot!
2. Josh played with the title of our website over the weekend. What do you think? I’m loving the change. It feels so clean and fresh.
3. I went ahead and asked my mom today if she would watch all 3 of my kids on December 6th so I can go see The Pioneer Woman and get my cookbooks signed. She said,” YES!” I’m so giddy with excitement I can’t even tell you!
4. Who likes Pandora and who likes iTunes radio. I’m kind of a Pandora fan. iTunes is always sticking random country songs in our Christmas radio stations and I’m not a fan. My fave pandora station right now is Sarah Brightman…but soon, I’ll be making a Trans-Siberian Orchestra station! I love the holidays!
5. About 4pm every day I get snacky. Most days, I’ll just eat an apple. But I get hungry again pretty fast. What is a great low-calorie snack that is actually a bit filling?
6. This is the wooden rod in my closet. The plastic dohickey that holds the rod up has obviously broke and soon, all of my clothes are going to be on the floor because we keep forgetting to buy a new plastic dohickey (surely, there is a name for the dohickey). Since I’m a girl, you would think this would be a bigger priority!
7. We bought our first Christmas gift yesterday. With my two coupons and added discounts, we ended up only paying like $2 and some odd cents for it! It’s the little things like that, that just make my day.
8. Speaking of Christmas gifts…how many of you are done? How many have started? Josh and I are planning on starting earlier this year.
9. I’m kind of annoyed. Every year, I go to the Country Christmas Bazzar a few miles away from us and every year they have these delicious marshmallow squares that are coated in toasted coconut. My mom and I flip out over them every year. I drug Josh and the kids there yesterday and guess what? No Toasted Coconut Marshmallows. I could of cried. They are so good!
10. I’m totally excited-I’m hosting Thanksgiving this year for my entire family. Not just my family, but for in my in. loves too! It’s going to be a full house with a lot of eating on the floor and stuff, but it will be the best Thanksgiving Living room Picnic EVER!
