Just say the word "treat" and the dog's ears perk up. I suddenly have Lulu's full attention.
She loves "treats". But let's face it, who doesn't? In slang vernacular, a treat means special treatment, be it in the form of a gift or food or entertainment. We "treat" ourselves or others to acknowledge, reward or just because. In Lulu's world a treat is a reward, not that she cares, she just wants the treat!
This weekend Randi came over with Prince Soren and we spent the day Christmas baking.
What a treat for me! To spend the day in the kitchen with my daughter and grandson! And, as a special bonus, we had guests!
My own Mom dropped in to see what was cooking and of course love on Soren. Just look at this chubby little fingers and cheeks!
And some of our dearest friends who were in town from Kelowna also visited. Spending time with family and those we care about is a treat indeed.
Randi and I were busy whipping up the goodies in the kitchen.
We made a mocha cappuccino biscotti with chocolate and toasted pecans, perfect for dipping.
And a soft and chewy ginger molasses cookie, rolled in cinnamon sugar.
Finally we made these super easy chocolate mint cookies, sprinkled with crushed candy canes.
There is still more to do but we ran out of steam and time!
But Christmas baking is well underway. I hope you take some time to enjoy the season ahead with special moments - so Who Wants A Treat?
