Back in the garden! I thinned out the basil and made some pesto. Ate some with dinner and froze the rest for later enjoyment. Looks like I'll be the only one enjoying it though as the mate says it tastes like yard! Huff!

Today shall be in the yard. Taking my time mowing and raking then edging. Ugh! To have my full strength and energy back!

Dinner

Pesto blueberry bagel with a Mayan mocha!

Got some bark making on after a long day of errands! Sadly most of the shopping were things we didn't need....

After a full day of making holiday boxes and filling the candy case at work, I came home to make my own candies for Yuletide. Super excited which makes my boss laugh. His comment to me @ 2:30 pm was "I don't want you to get burnt out." I laughed. Sure I'd been there since 8 this morning but it's a different task then I'm normally doing at work so I was fine.

Anywho! Candy!

Last week I made my own peppermint bark. Came out pretty awesome if I say so myself. It took a few days since I was working on it only at night after work. However, tonight I am making a whole slue of things.

1.) Honey & sea salt roasted, dark chocolate almond bark

2.) Coconut dark chocolate bark

3.) Dried fruit dark chocolate bark

4.) Apple granola

I stopped at Fresh Thyme market on my way home and really meant to only pick up enough chocolate for my almond bark …. Clearly my 3lbs was too much chocolate!
