Looks like there are some new yummies coming out of the oven! More Christmas cookies on a pretty stamped yellow plate. And if the cookies didn’t look yummy enough… SURPRISE!!!… there’s apparently a peppermint patty candy hidden inside! Thanks for the “sweet” photo Jody!

It’s cold outside, I’m working at home today and I’m down to my last S’mores Pop from MAURIE’S SWEET SHOPPE in Eureka, Illinois! Pretty good guess it’s not going to survive the day… as a quick 8-seconds in the microwave makes it all gooey & fluffy like a good s’more should be!!!

Quick thought… these S’mores Pops would make great stocking stuffers!!!

Never too soon to break into some Christmas Cookies, right?!
While decorating for Christmas it’s always good to have some sweet snacks to get you in the mood… again… and again!!! Doesn’t hurt when they’re displayed on a nice holiday green platter either! Thanks for baking & sharing Rosene!

Looks like another sweet homemade fruit pie baked in a handmade ceramic pie dish! Not sure which one is prettier… but can admit that the pie was indeed YUMMIER!!! Thanks for the sweet treat Rosene!

I made a trip to MAURIE’S SUGAR SHOP in Eureka to drop-off some pottery… and apparently my friends Keith & Julie timed it PERFECTLY as they we’re just finishing a batch of homemade caramel popcorn! The smell was intoxicating, the process fascinating… and my little cup of fresh, warm caramel corn was AMAZING!!! Be sure to check them out… your sweet tooth will be glad you did!

One more reason to hurry up and get this year over!!! OREO just announced a collaboration with Lady Gaga… with new pink & green cookies to celebrate her latest album “Chromatica.” They don’t come out until next year… so we just need to finally get though 2020 – luckily now we have something good to look forward to!!!

Just a little late afternoon lunch. Got distracted while packing up pots… almost forgot I had a Connie’s Frozen Pizza to bake. Made me smile using actual plates for pizza… so fancy… usually it’s just me sittin’ in front of the the TV with the pizza on the box it came in!!!

Gotta love a yummy cupcake from Sprinkles… especially when your friend Katie brings it over as a surprise… and knows that I “might” just have a certain affection for OREO’s!!! Looking so fancy on a stamped & soda-fired platter… sadly, it just makes it look like I need MORE CUPCAKES!!! Ha!!! Thanks again Katie!!!

After the turkey… looks like my “second family” friends down in Chenoa had a wonderful Thanksgiving yesterday while using some of their pottery collection. From the looks of it, the turkey was great… and the pie looks yummy!

I was invited, but decided it was best to stay home & stay safe! Thanks for sharing your photos Kelly… and thanks again for the invite. I just wish I could have joined you all.
