Easy, easy! We already had some great chocolate chip cookies made up, and of course, a nice big tub of Cool Whip left over from the Thanksgiving holiday. Two cookies, some whip for the inside, and there you have it! A “Whippy Pie”! And it was very tasty! And probably a lot less calories as well!!

Always fun to use what is already in the kitchen to make something new and tasty! What about you, have you made Whoppie Pies?

Baby especially loves the holidays when she gets very spoiled. Yes, she gets to indulge in some “people food” on holidays. Her favorites this year? Rolls (of course), green beans with melted Velveeta cheese, and turkey. As you can see, she is particularly good at the “I’m here looking cute, so give me what I want” routine. And really, who could resist those little eyes?

It has also been very, very, very, cold here! Today I noticed some fun ice formations in the garden, including the above which to me look like ice grapes. Hot chocolate will be flowing freely around here for the next few months.

We didn’t participate in Black Friday at all. I do love the idea of supporting Small Business Saturday though! But then, I always love to support the underdogs! What about you? Did you get into the Black Friday madness? Or did you sleep in and enjoy the day off?
