My Christmas List (because I've been very good...)

With these early sunsets and holiday weekends filled to the brim with parties and concerts, I have had no time to have fun in my kitchen.  It's not like I am not cooking.  I am.  It's more like I have no time to do new recipes (except the really awesome creamy honey mustard dressing I made... must repeat and share with you!) and no creativity flowing through me.  But one week from today I will be on Christmas break (one of the perks of my job; it's OK to be jealous) and I will have time and sunlight again.  Woot-woot!  Time to get back in the kitchen and make it happen!!! 

I have been seeing what other people are doing in their kitchens' and I am utterly impressed.  I don't know how many of these I will actually get to attempt (yes, ATTEMPT.  You and I both know that these ladies have superb talent...)  If you want to make them happen in your kitchen, I have linked each picture to the blog it belongs to.  Go make some Christmas magic!  I know I will, and I am looking forward to it.
