If You Came to My House Today...

You would see that we are decorated for Christmas.

 (I made this wreath a couple of weeks ago and I'm loving it. Now I just need a better hook.)

You would spot our new friend, "Reindeer", who magically appears in a new place each morning.

I would offer you some of these.

Nilla Waffers, Nutella, Bananas and Sprinkles.

Thank you Pinterest.

Or I would let you try this.

Strawberry Yogurt, 1/2 cup peanut butter and 1/2 cup powdered sugar.

The perfect dip for fruit.

Jacob loves it.

And just to keep it real...you would see this.

It never stops.

Sweetness {Sugar Jumbles}.

It's no secret that I love dessert. 

I love anything that's chocolaty, gooey, sugary, and sweet.

I just don't need to be eating it all as often as I do.

So once I week I'm going to indulge in my love for sugar and I will bake. 

I love baking almost as much as I love dessert, so this is a win win for me.

I plan on baking some of my favorites as well as things I've never tried before, like a pie.

Pies scare me.

I don't know why but they do.

So this week I made an old favorite of mine, Sugar Jumbles.

I'm sure many of you have made these several times too.

I love that they are simple, good, and I always have the ingredients in my cupboard.

First thing you'll need is a helper. Mine's always at the ready.

Then cream together:

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup butter

1/2 cup shortening

2 eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla

In a separate bowl combine:

2 1/4 cups flour

1/2 teaspoon soda

1 teaspoon salt

Add the flour mixture to the cream mixture.

 Drop by the teaspoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 375 for 8-10 minutes.

The end result...

Add sprinkles if you wish, or don't, they're just as good plain.

And Enjoy!
