I don’t know when it happened, but I have slowly been losing my mind for the past couple of years. And by losing my mind, I mean my memory. I haven’t gone crazy on you all or anything. When I was younger, I seriously remembered anything and everything (which was probably something that made my parents go crazy since they couldn’t get away with fibbing to me). Now that I’m getting older, I only remember stupid things too late — like remembering my school keys are in a different bag when I’m halfway to work. Or remembering to pick up almond milk at the grocery store.. when I’m already home.
So what I’m saying here is it is a good thing I have a blog. Because I couldn’t for the life of me remember what kind of holiday treats I made last year until I scrolled my way down memory lane to get a good look at the holiday goodies.
I have a feeling I’ll be in the kitchen for a while this weekend.
By the way — it’s snowing. I think this means I may be spending more time baking in the kitchen today!
Enjoy your Saturday!

I always have to remind myself to revisit old recipes! They are always good ones but they always get forgotten!
It’s a perfect day to bake!
I have no memory lately either. It’s scary!! Lol. Those all look sooo good. I’m going to be baking today too!
LOVE that each thing involves chocolate - you’re my kinda gal! those doughballs are calling my name…
They all look….awesome. I wish I was right there helping you taste the batter. For quality control purposes.
lol i have to def make those cookie dough balls! did you ever make oreo or peanutbutter balls, there so easy and i “have to” bring them to every family event, the only hard part well not hard just annoyin is the dippin in chocolate part! so excited to make these wish it was snowing here in ny (actually i dont really) but would be a great excuse to stay in and bake all day:-)
I honesetly had no idea the snow was in the forecast! And I have to drive to Target… this means I’m sooooo losing my parking spot. Crap!
Enjoy your day of baking! Mine is coming in a few days…
I heard them say “snow” on 93.9 yesterday morning and I scoured all kinds of forecasts and NOWHERE said snow!!!
dough balls! I’m in!
Snow + Baking sounds like a PERFECT pre-Christmas Saturday. Enjoy it!
I think the reason our memories are so ‘off’ is that we have so many things in there that we can only fit certain things.
….Guess we can still be friends I’ll just cross my fingers!
*S*N*O*W* —-I don’t know if we can be friends anymore. Just saying.
Do you not like snow? I’ve never heard a teacher say that before!!
Oh heavens YES! I loooooove snow! We just haven’t gotten ANY so I am *super* jealous of you right now. I am wishing for snow like no other, I love to watch the flakes fall gently to the ground and hear the telephone ring for “School is cancelled today”
Snow outside + holiday baking?! Sounds like a fantastic Saturday!
Yum! I am so trying some of these out!
I hope your run goes well! And I thank facebook for keeping track of my life! Haha I definitely have gone back on my wall about a year to remember when things happened… win.
I’ve been having a tough time with my memory also. I saw the doc and she said it has to do with hormone levels; and mine are wacky!
Have a great weekend baking, I’m doing the same!
I’m having memory problems too! Which is a bad thing since I really need my memory for exams right now.
I think those chocolate covered dough balls just made their way on to my list of things I need to bake!
Cocoa roasted almonds? YUM!
And it’s snowing here too. Snow + fire = instant holiday happiness
I LOVE cocoa roast almonds, but never even thought to make my own. I am impressed!
shut up!!! the ‘maple pecan chocolate bark’ is seriously THAT easy to make?! i have a friend visiting for reading of the new york times later today (i know, sue me, it’s too liberal for me, too, but i like the sunday style section). i think that i can make this, successfully, without being unhealthy with it. yeah for a fab recipe that has piqued my taste bud interest! i’ll post pics and link back to your blog, coach girl! merci beaucoup! x
