It seems like during the month of November and December my oven is in constant use. I’m glad there isn’t an oven union out there because mine would probably be complaining of abuse! If it had legs, I’m sure it would be marching right out of our house to the nearest picket line, in search of fair treatment. How can my oven complain though? Over the past month, it has been the tool behind so many wonderful creations. My favorite cinnamon rolls, loaves of delicious bread, cookies galore, and now these… delicious little cheesecake bites. Unfortunately, these creations are going out to a friend of mine, however I was able to sneak just one and let me tell you… yummy, impressive, and so easy! You can find the recipe titled Easy Cheesecake Cupcakes over at www.crazy-for-cheesecake.com.
On a note other than oven abuse, I put together the centerpiece for our
Dinner Party today. It was very simple to do and I like the way it turned out. I took a random assortment of Christmas ornaments and filled my favorite trifle bowl full of them. It’s colorful, inexpensive, and simple. I’m also going to use the star shaped ornaments to create place setting card holders for each guest. I’ll be working on that this evening.
My oven will be glad to hear that I’m not baking tonight. It’s desperate plea for a break has been heard.
One week ago today I dished about My secret love affair with the UPS man
And I thought my microwave just stopped working. That little striker- I was planning to replace it…I never thought of a raise!
I really do like our man in brown…
Pretty decoration! Classy!
That is a fun decoration!
Kristen, I had such a good laugh with your post – my oven would certainly team up with yours!!
There was a time when, besides working in an office, I sold my cakes. I’m sure you can imagine the amount of baking. The poor oven was about to cry for help… 😀
These cheesecake bites are so tiny and cute! I’m sure there won’t be any left after 5 minutes or so…
Those cheesecakes look delicious!
I think my oven may very well join yours if it goes on strike…
Kristen…. I LOVE the centerpiece that you created! The colors are great and so festive! Elegant and classy! I might try that sometime too. Good work! 🙂
Thanks for the reminder of cheesecake bites—growing up I had a neighbor who made these every holiday season and I was always in awe as cheesecake was never present in our house.

Wow–I thought at first that the centerpiece pic was from Marthastewart.com or something, and then I read your post–that is so pretty!!!
