Fiesta Friday #255

So who’s still running around like a chicken with its head cut off, a few days before Christmas? Me, that’s who!

Isn’t it amazing that even when you plan a relaxing Christmas without guests or visits to the relatives’, somehow you still manage to not get things done in a timely manner? Therefore, the chicken metaphor.

I have been baking and cooking, actually, and doing a lot of other physical activities to get things done. Physical activities like going to the stores last minute, wrapping gifts, dropping boxes at the post office, writing thank you notes, etc.


What I haven’t been able to do is sit down and write and blog about any of my cooking or baking. Which is a shame since a couple of the things I made were outstanding.

But hey, I did manage to post a Holiday Ham recipe. Did y’all see it?

Holiday Ham Dinner | FiestaFriday.net

That one came with a deadline because it was a sponsored post.

Maybe that should be my future motivation. In order for my posts to be published on time, I should be paid for them. Ha!

Okie dokie, good friends of Fiesta Friday… Until I see you again, Happy Holidays to you all!!

Now look at all this fabulosity from last week’s fiesta:

Sausage meatball and Rice Timbale from Jas @ All That’s Jas

“I CAN NOT get over how good this looks and sounds! I don’t think I’ve ever been this excited to try a recipe! Thank you, Jas, for sharing this with us!” — Angie

Brown Butter Spice Cut-out Cookies from Lizet @ Chipa by the dozen

“These are some of the coolest cookies I’ve seen. They look so rich and delicious, and I love the use of brown butter! Yum!” — Antonia

Gingerbread Cream Cheese Thumbprint Cookies from Julianna @ Foodie On Board

“Julianna brought a new version of an old favorite. I love the idea of turning gingerbread into thumbprint cookies and filling them with cream cheese!” — Kat

Christmas Crunch Muddy Buddies from Mrs. Kringle @ Mrs. Kringle’s Kitchen

“Children and adults at Christmas parties would love this indulgent chocolate and peppermint snack mix! As an added bonus, it’s gluten-free!” — Kat

***

Now, let’s party! Join Fiesta Friday #255 by adding your link. Don’t forget to link your post to FiestaFriday.net and the co-hosts’ blogs, so we can feature you. Your co-hosts this week are Jhuls @ The Not So Creative Cook and Diann @ Of Goats and Greens

    Ha!! Being able to sit down and breathe is one of the things I badly need. I’ve been running the office almost all by myself (my boss might be terminated by me soon???) so I haven’t been blogging (again!!). I haven’t prepared anything for my post this week, but I am definitely doing my duties as one of the co-hosts. Happy Fiesta Friday, Angie. I wish you a relaxing time, but I think that would come after the holidays, right??

      Oh you poor thing. I hate being in charge. I was an acting manager once, and I did not enjoy it! One day maybe when I grow up I can do it, but not now ?? When Christmas is over I can relax a little, Jhuls. Happy Holidays to you! Thanks for cohosting ??

      Hi Ai! That’s a big accomplishment, with a baby in tow ? Hats off to you! When my kids were little, I think I made scrambled eggs for breakfast, lunch, and dinner ? Great to see you back at the fiesta. Merry Christmas to you! ??

    Yes, Angie! I too am running around like a chicken with my head cut off! I am in charge of the whole turkey dinner this year, and school only just got out today! Yikes! only 3 days to pull it all together. I want to wish you a very Merry Christmas and all the best for the New Year!! Hopefully once the dust has settled, you will have some time to post some of the lovely things you have been cooking and baking! All the best to you!

      You’re welcome. They sound so scrumptious. Good luck with that turkey dinner; I’m sure everything will turn out great. Take lots of pictures and report back to us when it’s all done ?There’s nothing we like to do more than drooling over someone else’s dinner, lol.

    I am also running around like a headless chicken, so you are not alone! There is so much to do. I’ve linked up a cake recipe, which I am really happy I managed to do a few days before Christmas. I didn’t think I’d have time. We also have a new puppy, she is super cute and also a monster. Bites everyone and everything. Our previous fabulous dog had to start her training (guide dogs) and this new one looks to be more of a challenge to say the least. Anyway, have a fantastic Christmas, I’ll be back next week with a leftovers recipe. Cooking never stops!

      Omg, a Christmas puppy, how exciting! Though I can imagine all the work and time you have to put in training her. And yes, I agree, cooking never stops. I took a break yesterday and went out for Indian food. Today, baking cookies will continue! Have a wonderful Christmas, Monika!

    I’ve just managed to link up one final December recipe before Christmas after what’s been a bit of a quiet month for me on the blogging front due to broken wrist and to add the salt to injury the worst flu ever. I’m totally on the mend now and looking forward to Christmas (especially as I’m catered for this year so will be able to properly relax lol). Have a fantastic Christmas Angie! 🙂

      Oh, that’s so NOT fun to be sick during the holidays. Thank goodness you’re on the mend. That’s a good idea to have your party catered. Now I know why my mom always did that ? Have a jolly Christmas and a smashing New Year, Jo!

    I saw your ham recipe the other day. Gorgeous! I think that’s the only way to get things done during this time. Great job for finishing it!
