Highlights: Christmas Cookies 2014

Published on December 14, 2014 By Emily. Updated on December 14, 2014

It’s holiday baking season! (Granted, it probably has been for several weeks, but I’m really behind this season.  We just put up our tree today!) I’ve already participated in 2 of my 3 cookie swaps for the year, so I thought it would only be appropriate to share some of the cookie recipes appearing in my Feedly.  If they don’t help you, maybe they’ll at least help me decide what I’m making for the last swap of the year!  I’m open to suggestions!  Stay tuned for Tuesday’s post…I’ll be sharing my favorite cookie recipes for cookie swaps…or any other baking you may find yourself doing.

    Not that I need more cookies in my life, but I’m kind of jealous of all of your cookie swaps! I wish that was something that was an annual tradition for me.

      Make it a tradition! I think January and February swaps are especially fun, because people don’t generally get the chance to bake then and there’s less stress in the air.

        I would definitely like to make it a tradition in the future! However 2015 may not be the year to start that. I might be a little busy in January….

Last week Brian and I finally got around to hiring Last week Brian and I finally got around to hiring a sitter for a rare night out. We went to dinner at @publicna and took advantage of the opportunity with drinks, appetizers and dessert.

It was no surprise that Public was close to full on a Wednesday night - everything was so good.

Published on December 30, 2022 By Emily. Updated on December 30, 2022

It’s hard to believe that 2022 is basically behind us. Though overall this year found me getting back to the person I want to be (post-babies and “post”-pandemic), I did not try nearly as many new recipes this year as I used to. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised to see that I’d made note of any new-to-me recipes I wanted to share in this post. This year’s list is short, but delicious. It includes recipes from @budgetbytes, @smittenkitchen and @howsweeteats.

@coastalmainebotanicalgardens continues to be one @coastalmainebotanicalgardens continues to be one of the highlights of all my return trips to Boothbay and their annual Gardens Aglow event continues to impress. It was great to be back to walking the gardens instead of the pandemic drive through and there seemed to be more lights than ever.  I'm already looking forward to next year.

Fall in the Berkshires is always incredible, but t Fall in the Berkshires is always incredible, but this year we've had weather that has also been outstanding. The past 2 weekends have included time at Jaeschke Orchards, the Greylock Glen, and the Ashuwillticook Rail Trail as well as stopping to photograph any random foliage I see. 
Check out the last slide for video of some feathered friends we saw on a walk.

@freshgrassfestival continues to be one of my favo @freshgrassfestival continues to be one of my favorite events each year, and it doesn't hurt that it's just minutes away from home. Enjoying the festival with my kids is definitely a different experience than without, but it's still a good time. The weather was especially cooperative today which was great for all the laps I did around the @massmoca campus pushing a stroller. I'm already looking forward to next year.
