She Says: Good Evening Girls and Boys, Recipe She Says: Good Evening Girls and Boys

You know what’s weird? Each day I write a morning message to the students. I start off with a greeting and make a conscious effort to say “girls and boys” with the same frequency that I say “boys and girls.” I guess it’s my women’s studies classes shining through.

Anyway, I am still in love with the excitement surrounding the Hangry Pants food drive. It’s put such a holiday pep in my step! Thank you to any blogger who linked to the post. If you have a blog and are willing, please feel free to link to the post as well. Each new commenter means another $.05 for the food drive, so I want to get as many new people to comment as possible. Also, a couple people mentioned they might hold a similar drive on their blogs. If you do, let me know and I will definitely link to your fundraiser inititavie.

Also, I’ve started a new running challenge. It’s hosted by Melissa at Fitness NYC, so if you’re interested, head on over here. I like this challenge because anyone can participate. The general goal is to run a marathon (26.2 miles) or super marathon (52.4) or more between 12/1 and 1/1!

Currently, I am avoiding writing a paper for my Student Teaching Exit Portfolio, so I’ve decided to share some tea and lotion. The tea is Yogi Tea Woman’s Dong Quai Tonic. I like it at night, but recently made it for my sister and she was v. insulted. Even asked if it was a joke. Obviosuly, not for everyone.

The lotion is carrot cake hand lotion and I love it in the winter. My hands are always dry, so I use lots and it makes my hands smell like cinnamon and carrots. It’s good.

Cookie of the Day: Biscotti

I love biscotti! Last time I made biscotti, I tried a Cooking Light recipe for Chai Spice Biscotti and explained how I love them because they are really easy to make, yet always impress people. Those were really good, and I recommend playing with that recipe to come up with a healthy holiday biscotti.

For the Christmas season, I like to make Giada’s Holiday Biscotti, which you can find here. The addition of cranberries, white chocolate chips and psittacosis to get the red and green colors in there. These are great to give as a food present because they get better with age, so you don’t have to worry they will be stale by the time the recipient gets to enjoy them.
