Can you believe that 2019 is almost done? How the heck did that happen???
As the year draws to an end I know may people spend time reflecting on the past 11 months or setting goals for the next 11 months. Me???? I bake.
As I shared last month I love Thanksgiving, it makes the perfect bridge into the baking season. Because if I'm honest everything I do for the following month and half requires food of sometime....
Looking at lights???? I've got a cookie and drink for that :-) (Amaretto cookies and hot chocolate or for the kiddie crowd - chocolate covered cherry cookies and hot chocolate)

| This is a local display... so much fun |
Making a snowman??? I have the prefect pancake breakfast (heart shaped pumpkin spice)
Or
Maybe you are decorating the house and tree - a big bowl of puppy chow is a must!
Did you go to a candy cane hunt and end up with 249 candy canes??? Well, I have a cookie to use them in.
I share most of these in the free recipe book I made that goes with my sweet Christmas romance - The Christmas Reunion - Recipes
If you decide you want to read a sweet Christmas Romance that has a bear, North American cougars, marmosets, and serval cats with a 6 year-old and snowman building contest here's the link - The Christmas Reunion
While some of these are tried and true recipes, I'm always up for new ones. Actually, it is my goal to try five to seven new recipes a holiday season. This isn't welcomed with open arms by my family. They want the tried and true. But as with my most things, I'm about the adventure. Now while about 90% of what I make is a welcomed replacement...there are those not so successful.
Like the asparagus blueberry shortcakes- we love asparagus, we love blueberries, we love shortcakes. But we don't love them mixed together. But as with life you never know unless you try. For example, my hubby is certain bacon doughnuts would be awful, while I don't think there is such a thing as an awful doughnut... okay maybe asparagus blueberry... he tried them and like Sam I am, he loved them!
I'm looking forward to cooking many new things in 2020. I'm going to start Keto in January. I've sort of dabbled but I've committed all of January to Keto. I have the menu made - I used Keto Made Easy for my recipe ideas. One's I'm forward to trying are the Cauliflower baked Ziti and loaded cheese nachos.
I'm also cooking up some new recipes for my current WIP - What's In the Pie...
I also have novellas coming out for a new series - Adrenaline Rush - these will be the guys I'm cooking this series with. Yeah, sometimes life is hard ;-)
So what is in your oven??? I love to try new things :-) Have a great holiday...see you next month
