All Baked Out

The big guy was gone all afternoon to an away game, leaving me a date with the oven! Since were going to be in Spain most of the Christmas break I figured I didn’t need to do much Christmas baking.

Last year I made these delicious Oreo truffles, an easy no bake recipe (I had no access to an oven). They were a big hit so I decided to make them again this year. It’s a Kraft Canada recipe you can find it here:

Sprinkle them with nuts, sprinkles, or crushed candy cane to add a little Christmas fun.

  Okay, so mine don't look as good as the picture on the website but they are DELICIOUS!

I also made WAY too many sugar cookies, this is the first time I’ve used this recipe (it calls for Philadelphia Cream Cheese instead of eggs). They are yummy! Mom-The cookie cutters worked great, thank you again for sending them. Gingerbread boys don’t exist in Sweden (not that I can find anyway).

The recipe makes a lot of cookies, I know they’ll all get eaten in our house!

My side of the suitcase is all packed for the Grand Canary, 6 more sleeps were both really excited!

I hope this week flys by: Tuesday is St. Lucia to find out more look back at my post One Month, looking forward to the Swedish tradition, hockey consumes Wednesday, and Saturday couldn’t come any faster can’t wait to be on the beachJ

Two more weeks till Christmas, can you believe it?! Still no snow in Nybro, looks like it will be a green Christmas since no snow is in the forecast.

Missing everybody at home, being away at Christmas is the hardest.

Have a good week; I’ll blog again before we leave.
