Boo's Blog: A Great Recipe To Share plus more Holiday Fun

I hope you are enjoying the Christmas season. I know you are in the kitchen baking all those yummy cookies for your friends and family. We have enjoyed one too many cookies at our house. So it was time for something healthy. I know you will love this recipe. And oh, make sure you are doing 1001 things while you are in the kitchen.

Ingredients:

Christmas music playing in the background

Children saying "Mommy" over and over

A technical error with your calendar that holds your ENTIRE schedule!

The apple support person on a chat line trying to help you, typing "Are you still there?"

2 sweet potatoes

olive oil spray

cinnamon sugar

Preheat oven to 425 so they will cook fast because it is already 5:30 in the evening.

Begin slicing the sweet potatoes very thin...so thin that you almost slice your finger off.

Place on baking sheet

spray with olive oil...not sure why but seemed like the thing to do.

sprinkle cinnamon sugar so the kids will eat them.

And DO NOT set the timer.

Continue on your task because us mommies can multi task like no one's business.

Take out of oven when the smell and smoke fills your kitchen.

Ta Da! Enjoy!

If you remember my gingerbread tutorial from last year, you will enjoy the next picture. My friend Dawn had such concentration. She took matters into her own hands this year and had us over to her house for the gingerbread house tradition.

Take a glance at the background of this picture. Ok, I know the background is a little fuzzy but I wish you could have seen her house. It looked like something out of a decorating blog. It is adorable! Everything is white, cream, black and lots of texture. Dawn is known for her flea market decor. She can turn anything into a treasure! Enough of coveting her cute house.....

We enjoyed the Christmas parade. Have you been to a parade lately? I just love watching the kids anticipation of what was coming next in the parade line. Look who was at the end of the parade. Ho Ho Ho!
