Our blended family has had a Christmas cookie decorating contest that I started as a way to build community within our blended family. We have been doing this for about 8 years. Today is the day we are making the cookies to be ready for the contest. In preparation, I made some of Rosettes sugarless cookies that I cut out so I would have for me to decorate and eat. After that, I am going to have some dinner for everyone. We are having keto chili, regular chili, sausages, some pesto pasta and a mediteranean salad along with a small charcuterie board. My hardest part is not tasting the non keto foods to be sure they taste good. Guess I can get someone else to do that. As an FYI, I was a chef in restaurants for 17 years earlier in life so I am used to tasting things to be sure they are right..... Right now I feel pretty good heading into the rest of the day. I have to remember to love myself enough to do the right things..... Thanks for listening
