Another reason to like Winter...


Cranberry Cream Cheese Bars - made with homemade cran-raspberry sauce.

If you know me, you know that I am not particularly fond of Winter. I can appreciate the look of fresh snow, and I enjoy a nice cup of hot cocoa, but all in all, I would rather be laying by the pool. So, this year I decided that I need to find the upside of Winter, as I'm sure I will spend the rest of my hopefully many more years living in SL. So far my list consists of:
1. Watching my kids play in the snow.
2. Drinking hot cocoa.
3. Christmas.
and 4. Baking things I wouldn't bake any other time of year. Like the aforementioned Soft Ginger Cookies, and now these Cranberry Cream Cheese Bars. And let's not forget all of the comforting soups and roasts that warm my belly through the Winter months. No wonder I always pack on that extra 5 (or +) pounds every Winter...

Those look really yummy! Food and family are my favorite parts of an otherwise dreary time of year. We need to give January a food holiday.
