While in NJ, I found out that I won Marian’s Whole Foods Market Holiday Party Platters Giveaway. The prize needed to be claimed ASAP, so Abe and I decided to host a brunch on New Year’s Day…
…I have begun baking!
Taking A LOT of help from mixes. There’s still a million things to do!
This is Paula Deen’s Root Beer Float Cake – I used butterscotch pudding in lieu of vanilla…
…and a different glaze on top.
Poked a buncha holes in that cake…
…and used parchment paper to catch the pools that develop. Kinda scared to remove it tomorrow.
Next up – brownie mix turned into cookies!
Festive chips…
…rolled into balls…
…there was a lot of “cleaning” for breakfast…
…obviously I’m not afraid of raw yolk.
I also had one that was actually cooked. They’re gooey n sweet.
After a few hours of cleaning, finally tackled some mail…
…and opened one of the snacks for tomorrow’s party – couldn’t resist!
(Also really good.)
Party prep continues…I should go run errands before people start getting wasted. Happy New Year’s Eve!

Thank cake looks delicious! Have a happy new year!
Julia Child cautioned against emptying the entire bowl into the pan. “That’s for the cook.”
Happy New Year!! I can’t predict that it will all be good for you, but I am certain that you will continue to be awesome.
Happy New Year, Lynn!
I just bought those gingerbread pita chips at Target yesterday (because they were on clearance) and am shocked at how delicious they are. Mmm…
Happy New Year!!!!!!
thanks jolene – you too!
