sugar and spice and everything nice

christmas=my moms treats
when i was growing up my mom would host this 'christmas tea'
she would bake for days, stock up the fridge with cookies and cakes
and when it was over, we would get to eat all the left overs
mmm christmas memories

well, a new tradition that started a few years ago includes a bake day of said treats with my roomies, nancy and sooz

so get excited for sugar bombs of goodness
pounds of fat in the baked goods and therefore pounds of fat on my goods

[in the mix and the mess]

[this is the kitchen i grew up in. making magic happen]

[this is literally the most delicious dessert ever. chocolate chip bread with a sour cream base. a combination of all my favorite things, cinnamon, bread and chocolate]

[gigi and smasher. and nancy trying to poison my breastfed child with chocolate.]

[such a fun afternoon. thanks mom for all the flour, sugar, and love. favorite quote of the afternoon "does anyone have a real teaspoon? i don't know how to convert 'dash of love' and 'pinch of goodness' into actual teaspoons." - nancy]
