Today I am sharing two recipes that I ended up eating more than my fair share of, which might be because they are not full winners. What do you think?
Mixed-Bag Mondays: Sweet and Salty

Topic-Changing Thursdays: The Chiplet is 6.5 Years Old!
You probably have noticed that I haven’t posted the kids as much on here, and that has been intentional. I would rather just keep more offline for them, but they are still doing their usual things (growing, running around, offering hugs, playing, reading, and so on). Since today is talking about the Chiplet in particular, then let’s go!
Topic-Changing Thursdays (Mondays?): Anniversary
Once again, another year goes by on here and I forget that it has been a year, and then I’m confused about how long it has been, etc etc. Normally I would have posted this on Thursday since that is my normal day for non-recipe posts, but I didn’t want to clutter up your Pi Day posts that day with this. And why not celebrate on a Monday? Mondays need it more than Thursdays.
Topic-Changing Thursdays: The Fudgelet is 9.5 years old!
Time keeps passing and we are in the year 2024 which means I will have been a mom for 10 years later this year. In the meantime, we celebrated a half birthday for the Fudgelet. He wanted a chocolate cake with vanilla frosting. I obliged and he was so excited when he saw it. He is at an interesting age where he still has some reactions of a young kid (like excitement over small things, such as seeing a beautiful sunset) but then will sometimes show the maturity (and occasional attitude) of an older kid. It keeps you guessing a bit, but I like the reminders that my sweet baby is still in my ever-growing oldest child.
Tips-y Tuesdays: Piping Bags
I’m fairly certain I’ve shared before that one of my biggest tips for using piping bags is to fill them while they stand in a cup. Well, I came across another two tips that I felt would be useful to share. I haven’t used the first new one yet but the next time I need it, I will. The second tip actually worked even better than I thought it would.
Topic-Changing Thursdays: Happy Holidays 2023!
Happy Holidays! Hanukkah is almost done, Christmas is almost here, the end of 2023 is around the corner: where has the time gone? I just wanted to pop on here between the holiday plans to say hello. I also cannot guarantee I will get more posts until the new year because I will be on slow-fi.
So far this year, I managed to get most of the shopping done earlier, but it also feels like Christmas and all is earlier (I know it isn’t, but it felt like we had less time). We also decided to do our small family presents early in order to be done before seeing the rest of the family and opening even more. One of the reasons I’m glad we don’t do Santa at our house is I can wrap presents as I’m able and have them under the tree. It’s nice seeing them all pretty there versus hiding in brown boxes in the garage/stuffed around the house.
I didn’t end up decorating the house as much this year, and I didn’t do some of the baking I wanted to, but I’m hoping I can do some. If I do, I might not fully document it step by step, but maybe get some pictures to share in the new year. If I can, I will stop back on here, but otherwise, I hope you enjoy the rest of 2023!
