The past few weeks have shown me just how much like my mother I actually am. I've been procrastinating school work to bake. What? I know. This is nothing like me. I'm supposed to be that overly prepared, overachieving nerd who finishes her assignments weeks in advance. Well, it's not too late for that to still be true and perhaps it's because I know there's plenty of time to work that I'm spending so much time in the kitchen.
In the past 2 weeks I've made 2 apple pies, 2 batches of delicious, chewy oatmeal raisin cookies, and 1 cream cheese pie with lemon curd. Feast your eyes on this spread of delicious.

I will shamefully admit that I have also consumed a large portion of all of these sweets. For some reason I can't seem to keep my mind off of sweet holiday-time treats. I wish I could say I'm done, that the monster is going into hibernation while the study nerd comes out of hiding and works hard. I know that that is just not true at all. For some reason I'm inspired to show love and affection through food this year, so I just know that the baking isn't going to end any time soon. Let us pray, for my waistline's sake, that I give the sweets away to others rather than hoarding them in my room...
