Have you ever walked around the mall and smelled the delicious smells of roasted pecans or almonds? Or walked around Walt Disney World and saw the carts of candied nuts? You can now make candied pecans and pretend to be in WDW.
Walt Disney World’s Cinnamon Candied Pecans
I made these many years ago as part of my Christmas-making and baking. However, I stopped making them because of family circumstances. Today I made them once again. Yum! My house now smells wonderful!

If I could describe this creamer, I would say yum!
I made a batch of this on Monday evening. The next morning, my coffee maker decided not to work. :( Finally, my husband was able to get it to work on Wednesday afternoon. We don’t know why it stopped working and why it began to work once again. Crazy.
Wednesday evening, I had a cup of coffee with this creamer. It was even better than on Monday.

This is the last week of school before our two-week break. The students are restless. The teachers are restless. It’s been exhausting trying to keep the students focused on their work.
Easy peasy meals are on tap for this week.

It costs $4.25 for a tall (small) Starbucks’ gingerbread latte. You can make this creamer for half that price. You’ll get the same great flavors found in gingerbread.
Molasses, cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, and ginger are flavors you associate with gingerbread. So those are the flavors I put into my homemade creamer.

I’ve been making mock thin mints for years. This is one of the Imaginative One’s favorite Christmas treats.
I didn’t have any pictures for the original post, so I added one once I made a small batch of them today.

For the first few days of December, we’ve had fog. Some days it was a little fog, like on Wednesday, when it was only within a mile of the school where I teach. We had frozen fog on Friday night/ Saturday morning and Saturday night/ Sunday morning. I went out and took some photos of the frozen fog. One of the pictures is a new favorite of mine. I love the cardinals. To get a great picture of a mama cardinal is cool.

This recipe made its rounds on Facebook last December. When I made it last year, the boys absolutely loved it.
Today I made a batch, and the Wee One told me it was as good as last year. Score!

I’m back at work after a week off. So it’s back to the daily grind.
On Saturday, I asked the boys what they wanted to have for dinner. The Imaginative One asked for brown sugar ham, and the Wee One asked for chicken noodle soup. Actually, he asked for chicken nugget soup. At least that was the joke on Saturday. The Wee One loves chicken noodle soup.
Anyway, onto the menu,
Monday – Brown sugar ham & leftover Thanksgiving side dishes
Tuesday – Leftover turkey corn soup and turkey pot pie with 7-up biscuits
Wednesday – chicken noodle soup
Thursday – honey dijon pork chops, rice, either corn or mixed veggies
Friday – Homemade pizza
