When I was a new wife and mother, I may have gone a bit overboard with my holiday food preparations. The longer the list of ingredients and the more labor intesive the better. If I wasn’t cursing and breaking a sweat, well it just wasn’t good enough.

 

Do you remember when Martha Stewart came out with her baby and kids magazine? Oh how I LOVED that magazine. Every year Charlie had a cake from that magazine.

An ocean cake complete with fish cookies and a boat. A GIANT lion, butter cream mane and all.

Bread, crackers, dips,candy all made 100% from scratch for every get together big or small.

What was I thinking…

These days I’ve learned it doesn’t have to be difficult or take days to make to make it delicious and holiday worthy.

These brownies are a perfect example.
