Christmas Baking
So this year I started getting out all my recipes I love to make and decided to do some baking. Or maybe I should say cooking because much of what I love to make is candies that are more cooking than baking. At any rate it should be very yummy. I'm totally aware that I really don't need to be doing this but I don't care. I know I need to be careful about what I'm eating and all that and I'm working on it. But it's important to me to be able to make all this stuff. Yes I love it and yes I am going to eat some of it. I'm also planning on taking some of it to work to share though too so I'm not going to be eating all of it. Little steps. I'm still working on watching what I eat most all of the time. Yesterday was a bit of an exception. I went to a Christmas party at a coworkers house yesterday and had a great time. Fabulous. The food was amazing. I had no idea H0ney*baked had such good ham and turkey. I may have to get myself one. Maybe for Christmas. I love Ham but I hate buying a whole one. I end up eating a bunch of it and then put the rest in the freezer where it stays about 6 months or so and then gets thrown out. Maybe I need to buy me one and take what I want and then give the rest away to someone else. At any rate I ate more than I needed to yesterday. It was all really good though. Now today cooking. Yes I went and worked out this morning. I'm still losing weight (slowly though) so I must not be doing too badly. I can't believe Christmas is almost here. I still have some things to do too. And things to ship. I suppose I should get busy again.

Have fun making treats! I plan on doing a ton of baking, but might have to wait another week or so! Feel free to mail some up North! : ) Hugs, ag
Holidays are so hard with all the goodies. I plan to make some cookies on Wed if I have any sanity left by then.
I love honey baked ham. :) I wish I lived closer so we could split one. :)
Enjoy the treats. :)
I have been struggling this last week with the decision on whether to bake or not. It takes a lot of time, money and leaves me with a lot of stuff I don't need to eat, either. But you know what? It's fun and it makes me happy. Fun and happiness won out!
I hope you have a great time! Baking, wine and great Christmas music - you can't beat it!
Sounds fun making candy! (I vaguly remember as a child making candy from orange peels:-))
And glad you had a great time at the party!
It is good that you are still losing weight. This time of year is tough.
Maybe try buying a half of a ham. Do they have that choice?
What's on your candy menu?
