Cookie Exchange Parties are SO MUCH FUN - for a few simple reasons:You get together with your friends You make only ONE kind of cookie and finish your holiday baking, after swapping out You get new recipes You often have snacks or games! That being said, I do one every year - in December, about 2 weeks before Christmas. (You can read about it HERE or see a TV segment I did on it http://youtu.be/-iUR7GlAiQw ).   I thought it would be fun to have a collection of 30 fun recipes to try - one a day in November - so you can be prepared for that holiday baking! Today's recipe idea comes from M Loves M   (Makes 12) Ingredients for Santas 1 cup butter 1/2 cup sugar 1 tablespoon milk 1 teaspoon vanilla 2 1/4 cups flour red food coloring mini chocolate chips (for eyes and buttons) Red Hots for nose Directions: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Beat butter on high for 30 seconds.

My trip today went just like I planned it to -- 6 transactions and out in 40 minutes. It took a tad longer to check out as there was only one cashier and she jumped to a different register any time there was a customer to check out, so they didn't have to wait for me. :) I had planned out six $25+ transactions with my Envelope System and was ready for all of the fun!  To start with, I have a lot of coupons for $1.00/1 Quaker Hearts Cereal so I pre-ordered 50 boxes of it as it was only $2.00 a box in the current ad, and is normally $3.99. That means I save $199.50 on just the cereal alone! Transaction #1 9 Boxes Heart Cereal @$2.00 (normally $3.99) Bisquick $1.50 (normally $2.29) 1 gallon roundy's milk @$2.79 2# bag Roundy's Carrots $1.29 (normally 1.49) 1# Sweet Potato @$.75 Coupons: - (9) $1.00/1 coupons - doubled - $.60/1 Bisquick  doubled - $3.50 Milk Catalina from last weeks General Mill's Cereal Deal - Roundy's in ad milk coupon to take $.20

The time is almost here -- my annual Cookie Exchange Party! Do you LOVE holiday cookies? Do you HATE making 7-8-10-12 different kinds during the holiday season because you are so busy? Do you like to have a variety of treats for host plates/gift baskets, etc but find it a little expensive to stock all of the different baking ingredients? Enjoying homemade Christmas baking is highlight of the season for many families, but making everything from scratch can be time consuming and a lot of work. So how do you stock your freezer with a delicious assortment of cookies and bars without spending several days in the kitchen? By coming to an old-fashioned holiday cookie exchange! This party is for you!!!!!! It saves valuable time during the busiest season of the year. It is much faster to make multiple batches of the same cookie, than to track down ingredients for 7 or 8 different recipes and prepare each one. Provides you with a wonderful selection of homemade baked goods to ser

Do you ever feel like this? A professional chauffer? I actually thought about home schooling Miss Sarah and the hubster thought she would miss out on the Social interaction with other children.
