Can I get OUT of the kitchen, please?

I really don't want to see the inside of my kitchen again for a long time! The past two days have been spent making food for the mom's group meal swap and cookie exchange tomorrow. Why, oh why do I always choose to make recipes I have not made before? My Greek Chicken pasta, although lovely tasting, took 4 hours yesterday to cook and assemble for 10 families. Ugh... it felt like 14 hours. Today, I have Tyler slaving away at my toffee shortbread for the mere sake of my sanity. We need 7 dozen cookies, and we are about half done. Next week, we will be making more pumpkin spice bread for gifts, plus Andes Mint cookies to take up to our OB with a Piggies & Paws print. Geez... whoever said cooking was fun obviously never tried to accomplish anything with a sassy 2-year-old and a hungry 4 month old in tow...

AMEN to that! I feel so relieved now that the swaps are done, but there's still holiday baking & cooking to do. I'm excited to eat your lovely meal and cookies, though. :)
