Dreamy December Day Three Participation Update:

 

• Mary Balogh's The Arrangement, which I have been listening to do a review for a journal. 

• I have also started an ARC of The Queen's Choice by Cayla Kluver, which releases at the end of January. 

I also realized that I did not count the book I read when I was riding home in the car on Sunday. 

• My first holiday book of the season, Holiday Kisses, a collection of short stories by Jaci Burton, Shannon Stacey, HelenKay Dimon and Alison Kent

This would would bring my three day total up 3 books finished and one more book in the works. :-) I am happy with my progress thus far!!

Day 3 Challenge: Holiday Foods! 

Today we are talking food! I actually like to cook and bake--when I have the time! :-D So here are some of the traditions surrounding food during the holiday season for my family:

• Christmas Eve: we have Overnight Lasagna (similar to the linked recipe, but I have adapted it over the years), salad and garlic bread. We have a dessert of some sort but it varies from year to year. 

• Of course we have to make cookies! And this year I really want to try my hand at making these Bailey's Irish Cream Chocolate Truffles. I found them on Pinterest--click here to follow me on Pinterest.

• Christmas Day: varies but we usually do something brunch related so we make various quiches, ham and more. 

I hope everyone is having fun participating in Dreamy December Days! Tomorrow is suppose to be my day off but I have to go into work for a meeting and run a bunch of errands. I hope to be able to get on to check with you all regardless!
