    My mom's Christmas dessert. Cream, powdered sugar, marshmallows, pineapple, and pecans whipped together. Usually chilled outside Christmas morning, but it was made the night before this year since we ate early. Nommmm.

    I'm not in the forums much when I'm not at work because I try to stay off my computer and only check in via phone (app) or my nook. Its also harder to post pics but I miss you guys!

    I lost count with the holiday challenge when we hit the actual holidays... it was sort of a blur of monkeybread, salami and cheese, dollar rolls, assorted soups, cookies, beer and wine....

    Yesterday we went to KC for the Chiefs game which was awesome. Today we took my sister to lunch before she headed back home. Starting tonight the goal will be to finish off leftovers from the weekend without being too much of a glutton, eat an occasional vegetable, and start legitimately exercising again.

    Celebrations aren't completely over, I have drinks with a friend tomorrow.to exchange gifts, New Years Day is my FIL's 80th bday and we are having a party, and Saturday night I have a very belated birthday dinner with some girlfriends.

    Sorry everyone, I kinda abandoned my own challenge.

    I didn't have a very good Christmas week in terms of eating (if you're on my friend list you know that I've been having some health issues that are severely limiting what I can eat). Seeing everyone else enjoying everything so much was kinda bumming me out. But I did have some truffles and some fudge. I'm told everything I made turned out fantastic so that always makes me happy. Although, at one point I thought I might take a sledgehammer to my mom's oven.

    Sorry, I've been soooo exhausted lately.... waiting for baby's arrival (hopefully) soon. I've got 17 days left until my due date.

    I'm having pizza today cause I'm lazy and hungry. :P

    Damn it. I didn't take any pictures. :grumble:

    But last night I made Guinness cupcakes with Bailey's buttercream frosting and they were awesome. I think the cupcakes could have used more Guinness flavor but the texture was very good. I could have just stood there eating the frosting all night. I love Bailey's and I'm not much of a drinker because of my meds so it was a nice way to get the flavor without as much of the alcohol.

    @Acrylics - Guinness cupcakes with Bailey's buttercream frosting sounds awesome! Sorry to hear it has been a challenging holiday health-wise.

    To answer MrM27 ("where is everybody?") - I've been busy with family stuff, then up to the snow for a few days so the kids could ski, and back for NYE festivities. In other words, away from the computer and, like Kruggeri, I don't really try and access the forums from my phone or Kindle. Back at it for real come Jan 5th, though! One more big family gathering this weekend, and then back to a routine (which I need, in order to shed some of the copious amounts of holiday treats and booze I've been indulging in for weeks and weeks, which in turn seem to be slowly re-inflating my once-banished spare tire!) Happy New Year all! :)
