Anyone who really know me knows that I don't really have huge aspirations I enjoy the little things. Brown boots, skinny jeans, fun kitchen stuff....the little things.
One thing I have wanted to do forever is holiday baking with friends. In my imagination we would gather around a kitchen and bake and talk and taste test.
It happened just that way on Wednesday night. The results of our baking were a bit mixed. My buddies Sarah N. and Bree came over with bags and ingredients and off we set to creating delectable goodness. I was 1-2, Sarah was 1-2 but Bree was 2-2. My attempt to melt chocolate for pretzel rods was a failure and ended up as chocolate pretzel bark instead. But with the help of Sarah, my almond bark pretzels turned out perfectly. Sarah's attempt at an easy Pinterest inspired lemon bar brought the most enthusiasm. The result was not lemon bars but a real like Sponge Bob creation that went right into the garbage. We affectionately teased Bree that her chocolate balls looked like turds but in the end they tasted heavenly and the Pioneer Woman Chocolate Truffles with Sea Salt won the night.
Truthfully, it was really the fellowship with these women that made the night a dream come true. I am so blessed that these ladies are in my life. We had so much fun we are doing it again next week, this time sugar cookies are on the docket (I have never rolled out sugar cookies).
