Four things to chew on…. This is what happens when you Christmas shop-til-you drop with a toddler. Literally seconds after getting in the car seat, they crash, and crash hard. But I am done with my shopping with an entire week before Christmas to spare. Never has this happened before. This Holiday Potpourri…

White Chocolate Cranberry Pistachio Cookies
We had a Christmas party here with some of our good friends on Saturday night.

Banana Cream Eclair Pie
Thanksgiving wouldn’t quite be complete without a banana cream pie. My grandma made one every year and I’m pretty sure I was the only person to ever eat it. But by the end of the day that pie was dang near gone. So I guess that’s why she continued to make one, year after year….
