7 Days of Christmas Cookies: Cookie (Candy) #6

Assorted truffles - get the recipes at www.mybottomlessboyfriend.com
The thing about December is… all I eat is Christmas Cookies.

I’m just not very hungry for any other foods this month. Everything in the cafeteria looks very… mehhhh. Everything at home… well, there’s nothing at home. I have no substantial food at home. And I don’t have any substantial food because I just can’t think of any appropriate breakfast, lunch, or dinner foods that I would really like to eat.

But set a plate of Christmas Cookies in front of me and I’ll have one of each, please!

[The dietitian in me wants you to know that not all of that is true. I have been eating my proteins and fibers and vegetables. I’m telling the truth about not really feeling like it, but, ya know, health is a priority and all that. ]

Bourbon Dark Chocolate Pecan Pie Cookies ARE DELICIOUS at www.mybottomlessboyfriend.com

Do you know what goes really well with Christmas Cookies? Christmas Stories.

Does that get you all warm and fuzzy inside? Thinking about Christmas’ past and heartwarming hugs and smiles passing between family members and cozy-jammy-wearing mornings with hot cocoa and cinnamon buns?

That’s not quite a Cushing Christmas.

Beef meatballs full of VEGGIES. Recipe at www.mybottomlessboyfriend.com
It’s come to my attention that “professional” bloggers celebrate Thanksgiving in September and Christmas in October.

WELL. Obviously I missed the boat on Thanksgiving. But I believe that there are people out there — people like me — people who wait until the very last second to do anything — that have not picked out this year’s Christmas cookies yet.

↑ If this is you ↑, I got your back. Starting Sunday, I’m doing 7 Days of Christmas Cookies. You might want to start a sugar sabbatical now, so your sweet teeth are ready when next week hits.

(Are there any requests? Any cookie recipe you need me to experiment with for you? Let me know. I’ll try!)

Roasted Red Beet Hummus is DELISH and prettyyyyyy. Recipe at www.mybottomlessboyfriend.com
Check out my friend Keleigh’s blog, Where There’s a Meal, to get this recipe for Roasted Red Beet Hummus.

Keleigh is a wife and mother who writes that for most of her life, she hated almost all fruits and vegetables. (Whaaaat. –> veggie-lover talking here.) Her blog is about trying new foods (and lots of fruits & veggies) and it’s about making kid-friendly and picky-eater-friendly meals. If she is willing to eat beets, I feel like she has come a long way. It’s inspiring!
