Christmas Cooking


Hi ya! I hope everyone had a fun-filled weekend. I had an accidentally low-key weekend. Picture this, I get up for the gym on Friday and feel "off." You know what I mean, right? Anyway, I decide to forgo the gym and just go to work and power through. Well, around 11 I hit a WALL. I decided to just take the rest of the day to take a breather. Well, within 2 hours my fever jumped to 102.5. So needless to say I was in bed most of the weekend. I went absolutely stir crazy but I could tell my body was telling me I needed to rest. 

Luckily, on Sunday I was feeling much better and made it to church and the local hockey game, the Charlotte Checkers. I got free tickets through work so I was excited to try it out! I'm admittedly not a huge hockey game but I love any sort of sporting event. And of course, I went with my roomie :)



So, the entire game my roomie's little sister and I tried so hard to get on the screen. Well, finally during overtime we did and needless to say, I was excited!


So that's what went down this weekend so back to today's scheduled post. I feel like Christmas week is full of cooking and baking. I already know of several things I'll be whipping up this week...boy, am I excited! I'm making several batches of cookies for reason's that shall remain unnamed ;) Here are some of my favorite cookie recipes to try...

So I love being able to cook and plan Christmas' meal but this year I just can't do it. I work Christmas eve and have to drive over an hour and a half to get home after that so I just don't have time to get it all accomplished. So this year I'm just going to make 2 veggie sides on actual Christmas for our dinner celebration. Here are 2 tried and true favorites...if you need veggie sides these are real winners.
