Yesterday my DH and my two kids helped me bake 8 dozen cookies that I strategically planned for DH to take to work and DS to take to school. I was so proud of myself for finding a way for my kids to have fun making them, but not have them end up on my hips, and then what happens!? DS's teacher sends home a dozen gourmet cookies as a thank you for my helping in class!! And of course I already ate some!!

I just can't hide.....x(

Anybody else have trouble avoiding the treats?

Oh man they are literally feasting here at work--all our vendors send in crap--party trays, cookie platters, you name it.......I just try to stay far, far away from it all..........:9
 
well i just had a brownie. i made a batch for hubby b/c he is feeling worn out from work and it would be nice to do something to say "i'm thinking of you" with his favorite peanut butter cup brownies

i know cakes and pies are going to kill me this weekend. i am making a cake for my dad's b-day(he is a xmas baby) and i am sure dh's step-grandma will be making a pie. i love her pies, no one i know can make a pie like her. so yeah its hard to aviod it.and i am making chocolate cake with betty crocker's triple chocolate chip fudge icing as dad's b-day cake.

i bought small boxes of chocolates for viola's teachers and i immediately wrapped them and stuck them in the fridge so i would not get tempted to bust one open. i usually do the "well i can get another box at the store no problem". this ensured me i couldn't open them.

i am baking some cookies but i can't eat any b/c i made sure i had just enough stuff to make for 3 small platters for my neighbors. i might lick the batter but i WILL NOT eat a cookie. i need to keep them even LOL.

I have to say that I'm officially cookie'd out. I've made over 30 dozen cookies, and I only have 2 dozen left. No! I didn't eat all of them! ha ha! I've given them out to just about everyone. I did have my fair share of samplings however. Yum Yum. :9

I go to school today and my dd's teacher from last year asked me if I baked this year and that she wanted some cookies. She was joking, but of course I'm sending the rest with dd tomorrow.

My MIL just called and asked if I would bake for Christmas Day! So, I better get the ole mixer out once again.

That's one way of getting it out of your system!

Raising a hand here. Been having trouble since BEFORE Halloween. Right now I'm trying to stay away from the brownies I baked yesterday. But once the day gets even more stressful, I just might have a bit. Or two. Or 22.:p I'm a big stress eater.:( My pants still fit though... but we all know that's no excuse.

Oh god yes. My mom and sis and I made cookies last week - tons of cookies. I gave a bunch away but managed to chow down as well. Plus we have all these Xmas parties to go to. I just can't passed up a stuffed mushroom.

ME!

I baked 26 dozen cookies on Thursday night. I haven't put together my cookie trays yet so they are taunting me in the kitchen. And of course, I nibble here and there.

I blame the baby. I'm 6 months pregnant, and this kid loves sugar :)
