I splurged and bought the Martha Stewart Holiday cookie book. SO so worth it. Made the Gluten-free, Dairy-free Chocolate Pecan cookies this weekend (mostly because they were the easiest with ingredients I had on hand). Like meringues, all light and delicate, but super chocolate-y. Stocked up on cookie tins, too, so I'm hoping to get treats out this year.

Making Butternut Squash and White Bean soup for dinner tonight. Getting back into cooking real dinners again. Just need to make the effort to plan ahead and then its nice knowing I've already got something planned for when I get home rather than tossing together something completely ad hoc each night. It is dark now at 5:00 p.m. I forgot this about Fall/Winter.
