Guilty as charged but only when DH isnt home or he makes fun of me

This is what I do I wrap them as soon as I get them home and write a number on the back with a black marker and on my sheet of paper (I carry attached to me at all times lol) I write who it is for and what it is. Works great and then on Christmas Eve I will put a tag on them

I suggest ordering a smoked turkey you can get one from a lot of online places Sams Costcos or even your local BBQ place might smoke one for you It is sooo much easier

I would wait also I went last weekend when they had the % off and got clothes cheaper everything that is marked off for this sale is all things that have been onsale (online anyways) for sometime

the price will not go down you may get a gc deal at target or a itunes gc deal through walmart

thanks so much

I am wanting to see if the clothing for girls runs big or small. Im trying to get matching pjs for my DD and her doll for christmas but I hate not knowing how the sizes run TIA

me and my mother went last year (it was our second stop) it was the first time I ever went to TRU on BF the lines were long but as soon as we got in the store she got a buggy and got in line and I ran around the store like a chicken with my head cut off and would bring the toys to her inline by the time I was done she was almost checking out worked out wonderfully and we will do the same this year

actually Neiman Marcus didnt start making cookies until this rumor started going around

Im glad you liked them I LOVE LOVE them

If your going to price match have the stores corporate number with you because although they may tell you days before they will price match they like to change their minds and a quick call is all it takes for them to change it back in your favor

I used to go with my mom shopping for us as she was a single mom she just used to hide things in the cart and put her coat over it bless her heart..what about amazon? that way you dont have to pay shipping or even store you can get free shipping site to store that way you can just go in and pick it up?

thanks so much I got one for my family as well as one for a family members family lol

the only time I can find any juicy on sale is check Nordstroms online they always have AMAZING clearance on there juicy stuff

I make these every christmas I have alot more I just have to dig them out HTH Cranberry Pistachio Biscotti (you can sub cherries for the cranberries as well) 1/4 cup light olive oil 3/4 cup white sugar 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon almond extract 2 eggs 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 cup dried cranberries 1 1/2 cups pistachio nuts DIRECTIONS Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F In a large bowl, mix together oil and sugar until well blended. Mix in the vanilla and almond extracts, then beat in the eggs. Combine flour, salt, and baking powder; gradually stir into egg mixture. Mix in cranberries and nuts by hand. Divide dough in half. Form two logs (12x2 inches) on a cookie sheet that has been lined with parchment paper. Dough may be sticky; wet hands with cool water to handle dough more easily. Bake for 35 minutes in the preheated oven, or until logs are light brown. Remove from oven, and set aside to cool for 10 minutes. Reduce oven heat to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). Cut logs on diagonal into 3/4 inch thick slices. Lay on sides on parchment covered cookie sheet. Bake approximately 8 to 10 minutes, or until dry; cool. ________________________________________________________________________________ Candy-Topped Shortbread Bars 1 cup all-purpose flour 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar 2 tablespoons cornstarch 1/4 teaspoon salt 7 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 14 pieces 20 snack-size caramel and chocolate candy bars (such as Fun Size Milky Way), unwrapped Directions Heat oven to 350°F. Line an 8 x 8 x 2-inch baking pan with heavy-duty or nonstick aluminum foil, making sure the foil is tucked into all the corners and that there is at least 1 inch overhanging the top of the pan on all sides. Combine flour, confectioners' sugar, cornstarch and salt in a medium-size bowl and with an electric mixer, mix on low speed. Add butter and mix on low speed until ingredients just begin to come together. Sprinkle mixture across the bottom of the prepared pan and press with your fingertips into an even layer (mixture will be dry). Place the pan in the freezer for 15 minutes. Bake crust at 350°F until the edges are just golden, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove the pan from oven to wire rack. Place the candy bars in 4 rows of 5 over the hot crust and return pan to the oven. Bake for 10 more minutes, remove the pan from the oven and then spread the melted candy into an even layer with an offset spatula. Bake an additional 5 to 6 minutes until the candy is melted and bubbly. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let cool completely. Grasping the overhanging foil on either side of the pan, lift the bars from the pan and place on a cutting board. Use a sharp chef's knife to cut into 20 pieces. Keep at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days. ________________________________________________________________________________ Russian Tea Cakes 1 cup butter 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 6 tablespoons confectioners' sugar 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 cup chopped walnuts 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar for decoration DIRECTIONS Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a medium bowl, cream butter and vanilla until smooth. Combine the 6 tablespoons confectioners' sugar and flour; stir into the butter mixture until just blended. Mix in the chopped walnuts. Roll dough into 1 inch balls, and place them 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 12 minutes in the preheated oven. When cool, roll in remaining confectioners' sugar. I also like to roll mine in the sugar a second time. ________________________________________________________________________________ these below are an acquired taste but I LOVE them you have to truly like a spicy gingerbread type of cookie Pfeffernusse 4 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon ground white pepper 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger 3/4 teaspoon salt 3/4 cup butter, softened 1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar 2 eggs 3/4 cup finely chopped almonds (optional) DIRECTIONS Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine dry ingredients and set aside. In a separate bowl, beat butter and sugar together until light. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in dry ingredients 1/2 cup at a time. Add almonds, if desired. Roll into one inch balls and arrange 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheet. Bake 11 to 14 minutes. Cool and store in airtight containers for 3 days to mellow flavors.
