Is it really here already???

It's that time of year again. The time that I wait for all year long. Then just as soon as it approaches, I wish I had another month or two to prepare. It's "The Holidays" for 2010.

I have a true passion for baking and cooking. I absolutely LOVE the idea of taking a few things that look like this -

And turning them into something that looks like this -

Yes, I'm the dork who takes pics of the food I made. Heck, I put all that effort into it and it only lasts a couple hours!


All of the baking that comes with this season is one of the things that I look forward to. It ranks pretty high on my "What I love most about the holidays" list. While I enjoy doing it all year round, there's something about the holidays that makes it extra special. People don't think twice about being given special treats. I'm a big fan of random acts of service. This season is the ONLY TIME that those acts aren't questioned by the person on the receiving end. In short, I.LOVE.IT.

This year I'm doing something a little bit different. Instead of just selling my holiday pies (something I started doing last year after people told me that they felt bad about asking me to make them a pie or two) this year I'm helping my little brother Marky Bo and my cousin George with their mission prep. I'm going to be 100% honest, I'm sure they could get all of the necessities without the help of my pies. I also know that because of the choice they made to go on a mission, they are going to have to sacrifice a lot of the things they WANT. I think that they deserve to do what they want too! After all, they made the choice to give up two years of their life in service of the lord. What better reason than that to reward someone? So this years pie profits go to assist those two in making the best of the few months they have here at home. If that means splurging on the comfy church shoes instead of buying the pair on sale, so be it. Whatever the case, I'm happy to help!

Below you'll find the details for this years pie sale. I've posted them on FB but in an effort to chronicle the most accurate information on this online journal of mine, I'm going to post them here too.

Pies are $12 each and if you buy 3 I'll throw in one free banana or coconut cream!

Here is the list you can choose from-

Pumpkin
Turtle Banana Cream
Chocolate Cream
Pecan
Peach Cobbler
Caramel Apple

HAPPY HOLIDAYS everyone! Wishing you all the very best always. Let us not forget the real reason for the season. We're off to a good start, let the good times roll!
