Watermelon Christmas Trees

Use a mini watermelon for these festive trees.  Cut crosswise into rounds.  Slice each round into 8 wedges.  Trim rind off bottom, leaving a 1/2 inch piece in the middle for the tree trunk.  Score branches on wedges.

Grills and Chills

Now where did I put that BBQ cover?

Snow Day

Santa Hats

Oh what fun for the little grade ones!  Just pipe blended whipped cream, icing sugar and cream cheese around the edges of  a vanilla wafer.  Pop a strawberry in the middle and pipe a pompom on top.

Tis the Seasonings!

You know you’ve delivery-dialed Domino’s Pizza one too many times when they send you a Christmas card! With coupons inside!

Cheap Thrills

I finally found some Thrills. Got them cheap at the dollar store. The package says “It Still Tastes Like Soap.”  Good marketing!  And soap never tasted so good!

Winter Wonderland
