Feeling the Christmas Vibes All Year Long

When Feeling the Vibes of Christmas You Plan for the Holiday Season

Happy Saturday Christmas Friends,

I am in my happy space, my bedroom office, feeling all warm, comfy, cozy and Christmasy.

Feeling the cold that February invited when she arrived I am loving this vibrant cold season. It reminds me of Christmas and its great wonder and splendor.

The winter season is my favorite time of year. My plan is to enjoy every second of the season because it is going to hot enough, soon enough and long enough.

Embracing the winter months never fail to deliver tremendous joy to me every year. Ever since I was a child I have loved and adored the Ber months.

Starting in September when I decorate my home with Autumn, I patiently await winter’s arrival and the moment I feel its amazing presence I start decorating for Christmas.

Although it’s a new year and I know that warmer days are ahead, as slong as it is still freezing and snowing out, I am going to bask in this wondrous time.

Christmas Vibes Are In the Air

Deeply moved with Christmas vibes today, February is the month that I start planning for Christmas. I shop for Christmas gifts and I stock up on the essentials that I need for Christmastime.

One of the many things that make Christmas super special to me is baking. Stumbling upon this amazing website, Divas Can Cook, I have tried several of her recipes and I have not been disappointed. I am not the best baker in the world, but I still love to bake for my family and they appreciate my desserts. It’s a part of our Christmas tradition.

The reason I shop so early for Christmas gifts and stock up on staples for my home is because I don’t want to run around trying to find the things I need for the joyous holiday season at the last moment.

Here’s what I’ll be buying in a few weeks for the holidays: Feeling the Christmas vibes is real and alive.

Pam Baking Spray
Olive Oil
Seasonings for Thanksgiving and Christmas
Mayo
Carnation Milk
Cranberry Sauce
Elbow Macaroni

Planning and preparing for the Christmas season early brings me immense joy. It’s all part of celebrating the most wonderful time of the year.

This year I’ll be incorporating a few new from scratch recipes that include a few pasta dishes. I think the Italian in me is longing for something with a twist for Christmas 2025.

I need my creativity to flourish this year and I am going to see to it that it does in more ways than one.

Well, I hope everyone has a fantastic Saturday. It’s time for to create some new designs right now because Christmas will be coming up and over the hills soon and I have got to be ready.

Here’s wishing you a very Merry Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

The Best Sweet Potato Pie Ever

By Cyndi – Posted on January 2, 2025

A Recipe of Sweet, Sweeter, Sweetness Called Sweet Potato Pie

The best sweet potato pie recipe is here!

My mother, God bless her, made a sweet potato pie that was too good to be true. She was the greatest cook and baker.

I watched her every move in the kitchen and remember every ingredient that lovingly went into that thick strong glass bowl each and every time she created deliciousness all throughout the year.

At Thanksgiving I could smell those tasty pies permeating throughout our home. When they touched my tongue my tummy smiled.

Now I bake these same pies at Thanksgiving and Christmas. My husband and children love them.

Here’s the recipe.

Five large sweet potatoes
Butter
Carnation Milk
White sugar
Brown sugar
Nutmeg
Ginger
Cinnamon
3 frozen pie shells

Christmas Friends I do not measure any of my ingredients. All I can suggest is that you use them to your liking, your own taste.

One thing I can tell you is that I do bake my pies for about an hour. They turn out perfectly amazing every time. Brown and tan in color with rich velvety goodness define this heavenly warm slice of love.

Have yourself a very amazing Merry Christmas,

Cyndi

Moist and Delicious Dark Chocolate Brownies

By Cyndi – Posted on January 2, 2025January 2, 2025

The Best Dark Chocolate Brownies Baking in the Oven

One of the best desserts for the Christmas holiday is Ghirardelli brownies.

I am a brownie lover. Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Brownies are my absolute favorite. They are rich in dark chocolate and just plain mouth watering comfort food delicious.

When I first discovered these rich and moist brownies I went strictly by the recipe on the back of the box which is one egg, a quarter cup of water and a half cup of oil. This recipe was good, but because I love cake-like brownies I decided to change this amazing recipe a bit to my liking.

Now when I bake the brownies I add two eggs instead of one. I also add a little more water and an extra teaspoon of olive oil. Olive oil brings out the dark chocolate flavor in these super moist brownies.

These brownies yield about 24 cake-like brownies depending on how I cut them vertically and horizontally.

Desserts for the Christmas holiday is something that my family and I look forward during the holiday season.

Every year at Christmastime and all throughout the holidays I bake 2-3 batches of these sweeties. My family gobbles them up in a day.

I keep at least nine boxes on hand every year. This year I grabbed all nine boxes while they were on sale at Big Lots.

My family always enjoy eating these brownies with a tall bottle of spring water. The two go well together but that’s because we adore water.

Should you decide to try these brownies, please let me know your thoughts.

I wish you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Everyone.
