Milk and Cookies Food 24 Blog

Here’s my first go at making themed treats for a holiday.  A little insight to the me that is Milk and Cookies, a younger S, if you will, was one of super enthusiastic dressing up, I was athletic so no, I wasn’t a nerd (debatable).  But, I went bizerko for themed anything.  In my older years, you are expecting me to say I’ve matured, but I haven’t.  There were a few dodgy finding myself judging other people years, but I still go gaga for the hoopla.

I miss America in times like these, we as a general people, really do love our holidays.  Sure, it’s commercialism and capitalism at its pinnacle  but I find that if I sift through all the bullshit, deep down, we Americans just love to celebrate, anything with gifts and food (especially food).

This, however, is the first time I’ve involved cooking into this tradition of the holiday spirit.

So, here goes, maybe I’ll be one of those moms who sends their kid to school with awesome holiday snacks…. or maybe I’ll be one of those moms who eats all the holiday snacks and makes their kid eat healthy carrots.  Only time can tell.
