Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without the cookies. The Christmas Cookie to be exact. A sugar cookie with icing and sprinkles. One big sugar high for days if you eat one cookies.
We made cookies for Santa. I’m not a cookie maker, so I got ready-bake cookies already cut into shapes.
We decorated them for Santa. And for us.
I’m sure Santa will enjoy them.
Happy Christmas, everyone!
I came across this article on Twitter this morning. And it caused me pause. The images are from the book ‘Hungry Planet: What the World Eats’ by Peter Menzel and Faith D’Aluision. The family portraits feature pictures of families from around the world with a week’s worth of food purchases.
I was shocked to see the amount of processed foods where shown. Especially in the American families featured. In fact often, processed foods accounted for between 75-85% of all the food eaten in a week.
What are we doing? And how do we change our food habits?
Cheesecakes are fast becoming a holiday tradition in our house. We love them. And I love to make them with my son. We’ve been cooking and baking together since he was able to stand.
We recently made an Oreo Cheesecake together. My son did it pretty much did it all while I read the directions and took the photos.
Why, no, no, you can’t ever have enough salsa. Well, ok, maybe if it isn’t fresh homemade salsa and comes out of the jar.
Warm weather begs for salsa to me. I love the brightness of salsa. The texture of salsa. The smell of salsa. I can make a meal out of fresh salsa and chips.
I love simple salsa. Just tomatoes, white onion, cilantro, chile pepper, garlic, salt, and lime juice chopped fine. Nothing fancy for me.
I’ve been using this recipe from Real Simple magazine for years.
The 2.5 cups get eaten pretty quickly so double the recipe or there will be sad faces.
Everyone in our house loves the salsa.
