Holiday cookin'

Since just before Thanksgiving I have been baking like crazy. It is so much fun and especially with all the 'help' I get from Isabelle. Really though, the house has never smelled so delish.
Nothing says Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas like the constant smell of baked cookies and pies. The night before Thanksgiving I made my apple and pumpkin pie; with the extra dough I had left over I made two bite size pies for Isabelle. Jake and I enjoyed them more than she did.

For the first time I made Turkey and dumpling soup which was so so delicious. Oh how it warmed our belly's with these cold days we've been having.

You'll notice the apple pie with all the fork holes was my first apple pie I have ever baked and boy was it good.

Jake stepped in with some bacon wrapped burgers and smoked Swiss cheese on top, and I helped out with a fun baked potato recipe.
