My "back porch" is my kitchen, my favorite room in the house. Come on in, the coffee is fresh, and I just made a pitcher of sweet tea. The cookies will be out in a minute. I have over 40 years of recipes to share with you, along with my opinion on everything. Oh my, you are right, it is cocktail time. What can I get you? Of course I can make you a Mint Julep! Stop by anytime, something is always cooking, and the back door is never locked.

Bon Appetit, Y'all

Feel Good Friday

I almost forgot to write my Feel Good Friday post again this week. It isn't that I don't feel good, it's that I feel sooo good and am so busy, I almost forgot to tell you.

I'm so behind with my baking this year that if I wait long enough it will be too later to worry about. My friend Edie, and I are having a cookie baking day next week so that should help catch me up a little. All we have to do is pick a day when my brother is not coming by or we will still be behind.

Can you believe that one week from today is Christmas Eve. Are you ready? I'm never ready. I hope a lot of you have taken the suggestions of others and made most of your Christmas presents this year. There is nothing that says how much you are loved and appreciated more than a gift someone has taken the time to make. When I'm making a batch of cookies or candy, or baking a loaf of bread I already know who I'm making it for. All that love just jumps right in the mixture.

Try to keep your week as sane as possible and I'll see you next week. Check out The Girl Next Door to see what others are feeling good about this week.

    Just a few things to do, but not much at all. Have fun with Edie next week -- maybe take a few photos of your cookies? Yummy!

    I cannot believe it is in a week. Gah! We were going to have a big cookie baking day with friends soon, but I might have to get on scheduling that...

    I just said that same thing to my daughter this morning. 1 week! BAsically, I am done with a couple of little things to buy. Now we just get to do fun stuff like bake and do our gingerbread house.

    It is also EMily's Birthday today so I have a bunch planned over these 3 days.

    I got behind on my baking and ended up staying up late last night to bake cranberry bread, chocolate chip peanut butter cup cookies, and peanut butter thumbprint cookies. Very time consuming, but so worth it when you see the finished product!

    Merry Christmas!

    Amen sister. I like to think of the person I'm making a gift for as I make it too. I hope the good vibes go into it. XD

    i am right there with you. i took a day off from baking today just because i am so overwhelmed by how much i have to do. that makes no sense at all does it? then i had to read your post and be reminded that xmas eve is a week away. maybe some sugar plum fairies will show up tonight and finish my baking. i doubt it though because teddy would eat them.

    I can't believe that Christmas is only one week away. This month has flown by.
