Holiday Life as We Know it

I am one who hates unanswered promises, and I know that I am a hypocrite for being the person making such promises. I want to genuinely apologize to all my readers for not making this blog as much of a priority in my life as it should be. I know that is what I need to work on, while I juggle the other aspects of my life. However, I would appreciate grace for when I come up short, like the last couple of weeks.

Okay with that aside let's get to the real reason why you follow me, the food!

Since my disappearance, I made chocolate chip cookies, spiced apple caramel cupcakes, and homemade bread (thanks to my bread machine that makes the process of making the bread a lot easier).

The cookies were something that I just whipped up one night, so they are not blog worthy.

The cupcakes were really good. I might have gone overboard with the frosting, which made the cupcakes really sweet. Even with this factor, my husband and brother-in-law ate them up.

Now I don't know how much credit I can take for the bread. I did make it from "scratch," meaning I put all the ingredients in the bread maker. But it looks so good! I made it last night, so I haven't been able to see if my $4 yard sell find was worth it. I'll keep you posted.

Once the holidays are over, I will try to be more consistent, and though my creations for Christmas presents may not be dessert, or food for that matter, I would still love to share a little tangent post about it!
