Holy smokes. Have I been busy. Any who!
Today, I made lemon scones for brunch. The guests loved them.
The other HIT I made was Tortilla and Butternut Squash Soup from the New England Soup Factory cookbook. HOLY SMOKES! It is amazing! I have been using the Boston Organics for some home delivery, and the last order had the squash. My family doesn't like straight up squash, so I searched for a recipe that would "hide it."
FOUND IT!
The soup is amazing. I can't wait to eat it during the week too. What tasty leftovers.

The cooking and baking have stopped
Now it is time for me, to start eating right. I am starting Weight Watchers at home. I have to lose some weight and get into shape. So I am loading up on cucumbers, baby carrots and grape tomatoes. Dont' fear. There are cool recipes in the WW cookbook I just bought. I am going to try zucchini bread next week. Stay tuned!

Vacation is OVER
Although we spent a lot of time with family, I feel as though I need another vacation.

An easy recipe, which the crowds love, just ask my co-workers
Today was the holiday party at work. Work supplies the salad and main course, and those who want to bring desserts, bring desserts.
I brought a carload of goodies.
The best seller of the day: Oreo Balls
8 oz. softened cream cheese (I did use the low fat kind, if that helps you)
1 package of oreo’s (I think they were 16 oz), crushed. Crush the entire cookie, don’t remove the filling
2 cups semi sweet or milk chocolate chips
1 T shortening (I use Crisco)
Mix cream cheese with electric mixer until fluffy. Add the crushed Oreos and beat on high until well mixed. Chill for at least 2 hours in the freezer. Then roll Oreo cookie mix into one inch Oreo Balls.
Next, melt the chocolate chips and shortening with a double boiler or in the microwave.
Dip the Oreo balls completely into the melted chocolate using tongs or a toothpick.
Put on wax paper. After the Oreo balls harden, keep them in the refrigerator.
Makes about 3 or 4 dozen Oreo Balls, depending on the size

Perplexus
Sooo, apparantly I am soooo very trendy. We have gotten this toy for three of Mark's friends.
And he wanted it. . . . so last night he opened it for Chanukah.
My friend just told me it was on Good Morning America today. . . . as a great toy. Annabelle from the Green Planet in Newton Highlands recommended it, and now I know that she is brilliant. This was back in June!
Naomi got a Pinkalicious Dolly, and she is happy as a clam!
