Fiesta Friday

Food + Friends = Fun

Fiesta Friday #97

I feel like I’m spreading myself too thin these days.

Lunches with co-workers, cookie swap with girlfriends, soup party with more girlfriends, etc., etc.


And I feel like I’ve been neglecting my family, my blogs, and worst of all, YOU! On that front I don’t have to feel. I KNOW!

I haven’t shared any of my meals, or many of my recipes, or many many more of my photos with you. And I feel bad…

I’m hoping to get back in the groove again as far as blogging is concerned. And I’m definitely hoping to start posting “real” posts and not these “fake” weekly “Howdy and Good Byes”.

In just a few more weeks I’ll have my end-of-the-year break and that’s when I’ll STRIKE! Hahaha…that is so funny! It’ll probably be more like a sputter than a strike, but hey, I can always say I have good intentions.

Anyway, here’s hoping for better blogging behavior on my part!

***

    • I have a couple of posts with recipes ready to publish. Unfortunately they’re from when the weather was still warm, not at all Christmassy, bummer! But I am planning to make a tart this weekend. Will definitely share if everything turns out good. I hope! 🙂

  2. You’ve done a fantastic job Angie – just keeping the party going is a lot of work, let alone coming up with recipes every week. Besides you’re a mom, wife and you work, etc. etc. For stress I bought adult coloring books (gave them to my three siblings too) so when life is a little tough I bring out my colored pencils and color, color, color 🙂 Thanks to those who voted for me – the “buckeyes” are really good!

    • Thanks, Judi! The coloring book is a great idea! I did see some doodling books at Barnes & Noble. They look interesting and I was on the verge of getting them before my husband pulled me out of the store, haha… I’ll go there by myself next time! I’ve saved your buckeye candy recipe. 🙂

  3. You have so rightly reflected my sentiments!! That is exactly how I have been. In addition, my son’s birthday and my neighbor’s son’s birthday was this week, which meant I baked 2 cakes but didn’t get a chance to share the pics or write about it! I too am looking forward to the holiday break. Happy FF Angie.

    • Oh, the joys of motherhood 😀 I’m so glad you understand, Su! I think we need 30 hours in a day. 24 is just not cutting it, right? 😀

  6. You’ve done a great job running FF for 97 weeks, that in itself is a huge accomplishment! I hope you are able to kick back and relax over the holidays. I do miss seeing your gorgeous presentations though (no pressure mind you) LOL!! Have a happy weekend Angie, some hot toddy would sure go down well with this weather! 🙂

    Reply

    • Thanks, Loretta! You are so nice! And for that, I promise I’ll share a recipe soon. Gotta dig deep into my drafts! I had a long day today; I wish someone could serve me that hot toddy right about now. 🙂

    • Fiesta Friday has become a habit for me, sort of, by now. And it’s nice to know so many continue to enjoy it. That makes it worthwhile! XOXO

  9. So glad you have been infected by the festive spirit and realised that you needed to get sharing your wonderful posts with us again, Angie!!! It’s quite time-consuming running the FFs, we do appreciate your hard work!
    Sorry it’s taken me so long to say hello – I sneakily linked up my posts from work hoping to sort it all out in no time … but a couple of hours at ER later (teenagers! football!) I’m only now getting round to doing the nice stuff. Life’s getting into the way of life at times.

    • Very funny, Steffi! But it’s intimidating to be showing anything with you around! Sorry to hear about the ER situation. I hope everything is ok. XOXO

  12. You keep the party going no matter what, that’s definitely appreciated, so don’t be too hard on yourself. Though it would be lovely to see more of your recipes, you do have some good ones 🙂 This time of year is always tricky – time seems to go extra fast! Have a good weekend and let me know if I can help with FF at all, particularly as you gear up to the anniversary.

    • Aaw, thanks, Caroline! And I can’t be happier to hear from you since I was just about to ask for your help for #98 or #99. Let me know which week is better. Thank you so much! XOXO

      Reply

      • I think probably #99 as although I have my mother in law in town, that might actually give me more time (and next week I am on my own with the 2 kids again so not good!…just thinking about it makes me wonder when I’m going to get things done myself)

  13. Busy time of the year for sure Angie! Lot of socializing and lot of shopping and lot of Baking and lot of sharing!
    I am darn sure that you will be flying high when the time is up and ripe!
    All the picked entries look awesome!

  15. Angie, thank you so so much for FF and for your votes. I know this is the busiest time of the year for you but I know you’re the best. Have a wonderful weekend and thanks again! 🙂 xoxo

  16. Angie, I think you have exemplary blogging behaviour, hosting such a great party every week (and I really do love your weekly hellos 🙂 )! I am very glad that you’re thinking of us though, and of course I’d love to read some full length blog posts as well! Only when you have the time though… ideally blogging should be relaxing (maybe??)

  17. Angie, keeping up with so many things can be difficult sometimes. You are doing so much having this amazing party every week. But you know, we also miss seeing your mouth-watering foods!! 😀 And looking forward to that. Of course, no pressure! Lovely features and I can see some of my selections here. 🙂 I hope you are having a wonderful week, Angie! Thanks for the party! xx

    • I need to have an administrator, that will solve all my problems, haha… But if I can’t have that, I should at least have a co-author for Fiesta Friday. I’m taking applications, Jhuls. You interested? 😀
