Recipes, Tips, Crafts, and More!
Who is excited that the holidays is just around the corner? Christmas is my favorite time of year! I love entertaining, baking goodies, spending time with family, and everything in between.
I'm already preparing for my 3rd Annual Cookie Exchange Party, which I can tell you more about in an upcoming post!

My last post for #Choctoberfest had to be another cookie. And since I am from Ohio, had to go with a cross between a Buckeye and a cookie.
What is an Ohio Buckeye? In 1953, the Ohio legislature designated the Ohio Buckeye, as Ohio's official state tree. The tree is called the buckeye because its nuts resemble the shape and color of a deer's eye. The buckeye is relatively common in Ohio, growing especially well along rivers and streams and in floodplains.
After that, “buckeye” was a nickname
Wow, this feels good. Not just one new recipe this week, but two!

And to see where I have been the last four years -- see my post from Monday -- Welcome to #Choctoberfest.
I knew one of the recipes I made for #Choctoberfest had to be cookie related. With Christmas approaching, I wanted to try out some new cookie recipes that could be potentials for my Annual Cookie Exchange Party.
