Bake Sales and Cookie Swaps

Hey Guys!

Well, I survived the whole allergy test process! We discovered that I'm allergic to chemicals found in most shampoos, conditioners, body washes, moisturizers, and facial cleansers.  My dermatologist recommended a brand but it is expensive, especially considering how much conditioner I go through with my long hair, so I'm on the lookout for something a little more affordable.  Do any of you have similar allergies?

I also need your advice on how to deal with spam on Blogger. I've been getting a lot of comments from "Anonymous" and somehow the real comments on my last post were all deleted last week :( So, if you commented just know that I didn't delete it and I had replied! I love getting feedback from you guys so I'd hate for you to think I was just ignoring you!!!

I've been spending a lot of time baking these past few days. We're having our annual bake sale at work today and I'm also participating in a couple of holiday cookie swaps. So, I thought I'd share some of the recipes I've made or am going to make! They are all Pinterest finds, but I've linked to the original recipe.

  2. Those cookies look great, might try the PB pretzel bites. Are you doing the resolution run this year? We are doing the 5K.

  3. You just made me so hungry with all those pictures. Sorry to hear about the allergies. Not sure about the spam issue. Hope that sorts itself out.

  5. I'm allergic to a lot of stuff, so I feel your pain. I've noticed I have some issues with body washes, but I don't seem to have problems with shampoos and conditioners. I have a lot of hair too, so I wouldn't want to have to buy something really expensive either.

    Holy cow! The peanut butter pretzel bites sound amazing. I love the salty-sweet combo.
