Tuesday Things.

1. I just started a recipe that literally won't be ready to eat for two weeks. Legit. I kind of feel like I'm brewing polyjuice potion... only not. Any guesses? Think Christmas.
Hint: it involves chocolate.
Like that's a surprise.

2. This is my life. 
This is how many chocolate chip espresso bars were left after three days. 

As in... I've already made a second batch. Yeah. That happened.

3. This is also my life. My right-now life. As in... I may or may not be listening to this as we speak. 
And by listening, I mean singing.

... and by singing I mean dancing around my room in between sentences. Do this. Christmas music fixes everything.

P.S. ... it's totally normal to be drinking pumpkin spice coffee and searching for Christmas recipes on Pinterest in the middle of an August afternoon, right?
Okay, good.

... cuz I'm posting Christmas breakfast later this week!

haha. you're a bit too early for Christmas but you're activities sound fun. :) be trying that soon. i mean it's days before the 'ber' months so it should be okay :) i'm excited about your recipe.
You are not too early for Christmas! If it makes you feel better I ordered a Peppermint Mocha the other day just to remind myself that Christmas is coming. I am also going to make those Espresso Bars on Friday so excited to try them.

I LOVE peppermint mochas. Now I definitely can't wait for Christmas. Let me know how the espresso bars turn out!
Hobby Lobby had Christmas decorations at the beginning of June. If anything, you are running behind.

This makes me feel so much better about my life. If I had my way, I'd put up my Christmas tree now!
I have a Christmas feeling every August that goes right through to the end of September - where I can barely breathe for the Christmas in the air and almost don't leave the house for the need to wrap myself in layers and layers of tinsel and roll around on the floor! And then Christmas rolls around and it's even WORSE. Or better. Depends on your outlook!
Either way, you're not alone in the Christmas day menu planning, I started mine the second I could taste tinsel.
(And I've already bought Christmas presents!)

This totally made my day! Who doesn't love Christmas? And I was browsing through cookie books at the library today, wondering if I should get a jumpstart trying out recipes so I'll be prepared (for once). :o)

Exactly! It seems like every December, the one month of the year it's acceptable to bake *at least* twelve dozen cookies a week, I can never think of any new recipes I want to try. It's ON this year, that's all I'm saying.
I read the post and saw "Christmas, Christmas, Christmas" and thought "not ready, not ready, not R-E-A-D-Y!!!" but then I saw the last picture and I have no idea what it is but I want it and if it means me hanging garland, by golly I'm in!

Haha... I'm totally not ready for Christmas either. But it's been one of those weeks & Christmas music always cheer me up.
Chocolate covered cherries!!!
Totally normal, I love Christmas. I didn't know Glee had a Christmas album. I'm off to visit iTunes......

These donuts look great! and taste great, I promptly made them this morning (from the more recent post) for my kids and they were a hit! They do not love nutmeg put in things so I put in some pumpkin pie spice---yum yum. Also the bars are in my "to bake pile"!!! Cannot wait to try them!!! Almost every August I HAVE to pop in my favorite Christmas CD, just a few minutes of it and I can wait till............end of Oct. to REALLY start listening.........to early for SOME people, but me, I could listen all year long and not get sick of it!!!! Thank you for lettting me know that I am not the only person who enjoys bits of Christmas all year long. Totally enjoying your blog. Love the way you write, the recipes you put in-makes me wonder what you cook for dinners? I too am more of a baker then cook and sometimes struggle with what to make for dinner, just curious about what you like to cook.
