Blogger, I must confess and I digress that I have loved this forum. Although now I realize, I have no audience and that I really bore them!

I send you Yuletide greetings and best wishes too. That this holiday season, brings great joy to you ❤️.

YouTube And TikTok Goes The Clock

Christmas Time 2023, let the decorating begin. 

So much has been happening that I haven’t had the time to post. A lot of family dynamics good and bad. Busy and a reluctance to bore you lol! 

Musically, I’ve been creating more content for my YouTube channel- Shorts have been fun to create as well. You’ll find a variety of content including my home life, cooking/ baking endeavors and my pet besties.

Please check out my channels! Leave me a message while you’re there! Hope you enjoy a wonderful holiday season ❤️.

My First Time Making Homemade Pastries

I cheated a bit here by buying a box of Puff Pastry Dough…One box made 12 generous pastries!

*Washed & dried my fruit- added 3 tablespoons sugar and 1 teaspoon of corn starch to the fruit. I chose raspberries, blue and black berries. Fold well. Let this rest while you prepared the cream cheese filling and thaw the puff pastry dough. 

I thawed the puff pastry dough on a piece of waxed paper, on my countertop. The puff pastry comes with two sheets.

*Let thaw then cut each sheet into thirds and then in half. I used a pizza cutter to cut my dough.This will make 12 pastries.

*Score a box shape in each pastry leaving 1/4 inch all the way around. See photo below. ⬇️ 

*Roll out each piece of dough just slightly. 

*Cream Cheese Filling- 

One regular sized block of softened packaged cream cheese. Zest of one lemon and 2-3 teaspoons of squeezed lemon juice. 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar and a teaspoon of vanilla. Cream together until soft and spreadable. 

*Spread the cream cheese within the box you have scored leaving the border edge clean. Use a generous amount of filling. Arrange your fruit mixture on top of the filling.

*Melt 1/2 stick of butter and brush it on the border edge of the box you created. Brush all the edges with melted butter. 

*Sprinkle coarse raw sugar along the buttered edges and a little bit more on top of the fruit. 

*Bake in 400 degree oven for about 25 minutes. The pastries should look golden brown and flaky. 

*Cool for about 20 minutes before dusting each pastry with powdered sugar and adding a mint leaf (optional).

Enjoy!!!

ps. You can pick a fruit you like. I’d like to try this with thinly sliced 🍑 peaches. Next time, I will! These turned out so nicely I can’t wait to make them for my next get together!

My “Drive” Cover And A Drive To Williams AZ

I stumbled upon this audio from my cover of Drive, written by The Cars. I made a slideshow with a not so hidden message within.

My “Drive” Cover And A Drive To Williams AZ https://youtu.be/Vu4uwvszamU

In an effort to escape the relentless heat here in Phoenix, took a drive north up to Williams AZ. The beautiful pines and cooler temps made this a welcome distraction! 

Hope you enjoy my pics, vids and my cover music 🎹!

My Independence Day Celebration Cake

Into the oven it went! 

Cooling for several hours. After a few hours, I put it in the fridge for another few hours to cool. 

A light chocolate whipped cream topped this chocolate cake- Adorned with whipped cream, raspberries and blueberries. 

A pretty baking vessel helps make this simple cake a little more festive.
