This time of year can come with a lot of pressure. It can be noisy and overwhelming and costly. Something needs to be easy. And cheap.

How To Make Chocolate Bark From The Pioneer Woman

I just used what was in my cupboards for toppings. It’s a great way to use up the last bits of things you have hanging around. But you could make it pretty and Christmasy without too much effort.

I have my favourite Christmas treats. Mostly they are childhood comforts that my Mom still makes this time of year. Family favourites like scuffles, fudge, apple bars, lemon tarts. Things we only had at Christmas time. I think baking things for people is my Mom’s love language.

So, forget the hustle, hustle, hustle of performance culture and take care of your mental health by doing what you can with what you have.

Until next time…
