Holiday treats are hard to let go

Sometimes during the year, I feel like I’m on top of things when it comes to treats.  I don’t make them, don’t buy them, so we don’t eat them.  And then a holiday will come around and I’ll think, oh, I’ll just make a little bit.  And then suddenly it’s three months later and I’m chowing down on cookie dough.  Granted, it’s homemade chocolate chip cookies with homemade toffee bits, but still.  Not awesome for my health.  That being said, here are some shots of the treats we made for New Year’s eve.

This was our first time making caramels and we’ve decided that while they are tasty, they may be better with more browning.  Something to think about for next time.

We had a delightful New Year’s celebration.  We had friends and family over that night and we all brought snacks.  I don’t think I’ve eaten that much processed food in quite some time.  Well, not since our Christmas celebration, at least.  Jill brought over these bacon-wrapped lil’ smokies.  Oh. Good. Heavens.  They were amazing!  And again, nothing says healthy like pork products swimming in bacon fat and brown sugar.  They were so good!

We put Ezra to bed early, but everyone else made it to the midnight mark.  We saw the ball drop and then, I kid you not, everyone was packed and out of the house within 10 minutes.  It was crazy how quickly we had the house to ourselves again.  We cleaned up a little and then went to bed.  It was nice having people over; we may get something started like a once-a-month game night.

A couple days ago, we decided to go up to Big Cottonwood Canyon and go sledding for a bit.

Fun was had by all, but Ezra and Kate seemed to tire of it pretty fast.  Later that night I found I had torn a bit of skin on my belly.  Drat you thin-skinned stretch marks!  I guess that’s what I get for taking those runs on my stomach on the saucer sled.

Still no baby bunnies.  I was looking at my blue doe and she seems to be getting fat.  At least, her skin is starting to look pretty bunchy, but I’m not sure if that if something that is normal for Rex breeds.  I’ll have to investigate.  For the last month or so I’ve been free feeding because it’s cold out and they need the extra calories, but fat bunnies can’t get pregnant as easily or have as many kits, so I might need to restrict feed for her.

I’ve been making kombucha pretty regularly and am enjoying taking bottles in to work so I can drink it with lunch.  The only thing is they look like homemade beer bottles, so it totally looks like I’m a lush.  Oh well.

Will be starting an exercise program here shortly.  Have no idea what exactly it will entail but really any kind of movement would be beneficial at this point.  Wish me luck!
