Oh Christmas Tree...

My Christmas prize to me... love this lit tree!

My road tells a story...

Breathtaking... maybe not to you, but my life has so many memories, secrets and blessings on this road.  The picture here is taken as I am walking each day.  I can remember back as far as being a little girl and coming to the country.  I can remember getting my first car and driving down this road.  I can remember many Christmas' and birthdays on this road.  I can remember pain on this road.  I can remember new beginnings on this road.  And, I can remember God bringing me to my knees on this road and blessing me beyond words.  I do not think there is a day that I come down this hill that my breath is not taken away by the view.  I do not think there is a day that my eyes do not fill up with tears, thanking God for giving me such a place to live and blessing me so!  This road is filled with days of prayer, this road is filled with overwhelming thankfulness.

"Rejoice in the Lord always, pray continually and give thanks in all things!"

A lil' elf put this on my desk!

Sheryl made these "Divine" prizes... a mini glass martini filled with "Pot de Creme"...  I can barely say the name, but oh  my, it is a burst of flavor in your mouth.  Taste of chocolate, coffee, peppermint, topped with a meringue, it is smooth like mousse.  I just ate half of mine!  Love Love Love!

The presentation is wonderful.  Like I say, Presentation is everything!

Cranberry pistachio cookie...

I tried a new cookie today, but I changed it a little...

Cranberry Pistachio Cookie

1 pouch Betty Crocker Sugar Cookie Mix

1 box (4 serving size) pistachio instant pudding and pie filling mix

1/4 cup flour

1/2 cup butter, melted

2 eggs

1/2 cup dried cranberries, chopped 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 

In a large bowl stir cookie mix, pudding, and flour. Add melted butter and eggs and stir until incorporated. Add cranberries and mix well. 

Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto a parchment lined cookie sheet. 

Bake for 8-10 minutes. Do not overcook.  Cool.

Melt white almond bark in the microwave according to directions on the package.  Dip the side of the cookie in the almond bark, sprinkle as desired.  Yummy!
