Olivia's friend Deb is a fabulous cook and shares the greatest recipes. This one was really a hit and comes to you just in time for your holiday baking. While it is nice to use the traditional recipes your friends and families love, it is also great to mix it up a little with something new.
We hope all of you enjoyed the Thanksgiving holiday weekend as much as we did. Olivia and I made our annual shopping excursion to the mall and beyond on Black Friday. I must say since stores have started their sales on Thanksgiving Day, Black Friday is not as crowded as it used to be. I'm happy for the people who found bargains on Thanksgiving Day, but I am a purist. Olivia and I still do our Black Friday thing. This year we did something I have wanted to do for years. We had our picture taken with Santa and it turned out really well. We laughed hard, shopped until we dropped, and had a jolly time. We have fun but we never forget the reason for the season and the greatest gift of all! We hope your holiday season is off to a great start!
