The Plan

It's Christmas time! ! ! !

I love this holiday.  There is so much to enjoy, and that includes food.  To combat my tendency toward excess I have a plan.  I am going to make a list of the treats I really, really want to make and/or enjoy with my family and then limit myself to those treats.  That way, I don't indulge on Hershey Kisses or all the other fluff that is good, but not great.

So the goodie list is:

Share a chocolate orange with my family after reading the story about the Christmas Oranges.

Make peppermint marshmallows and enjoy in some hot cocoa.

Have a dish of peppermint ice cream with hot fudge sauce.

Make cinnamon rolls with the kids.

And, if during the season there is something unexpected and fabulous that I want to enjoy then I am leaving myself one fabulous pass for Oregon and one for celebrating with my family.

I look at that list and that is a lot of yumminess, but honestly it's a lot less than I would usually eat.

So there's the plan.

I am interested to see how it works.

Happy Holidays!
