The Sunday Post #50

Hello readers! It’s Sunday again and that means it’s time to wrap up my week again. I have been a bit busy this week with familial stuff, so I didn’t get too much reading in or anything.

We are finally making it to the last week of Blogmas! I am so happy that you guys have enjoyed me being back to posting this month. I have a bunch of things planned for 2025 for reading, TBRs, and blog posts.

This week I finished up my last week of my first term back at college. I did really well in my classes! I only struggled with finding motivation to do the work when we got closer to the end, but I made it.

Banana Split Cheesecake

I also baked and cooked quite a bit this week, but I didn’t get any pictures. I made two things I’ve made and showed you guys before, actually. We went to my aunt’s house yesterday to decorate gingerbread houses and do secret Santa, so I made a bunch of food for it.

First, I made the banana split cheesecake that I made back in April. The on the left is the one I made back then, but it looks the same now. It’s a layer of graham cracker crust, no-bake cheesecake, then sliced banana, crushed pineapple, cool whip, and then topped with nuts, maraschino cherries, and hot fudge.

Last time, I made the crust too wet, but this time it came out perfect. I also baked the crust for the first time. I’ve made Graham cracker crust for pies in the past and have never baked it. Highly recommend! It made it nice and solid.

The second thing I made was bread pudding. I made this in October (I think) for the first time. But this time we added apples to it and it was really good! My mom said her grandma made it like that when she was a kid, so she wanted us to try and make it.

homemade dog treats

Then I made ham n cheese sliders along with cookies for the dogs. I usually make the dogs cookies around Thanksgiving, but they got them for Christmas this year. And I took some for my aunt’s dogs.

These are just peanut butter, flour, apple sauce, and chicken broth. Sometimes I add in bacon bits, too. The dogs love these! They have plenty of protein, flavor, and are sugar free.

This upcoming week, I have nothing to do but Christmas, so I’m ready for a break. We aren’t doing anything special the day of.

I am rearranging my schedule a bit this week. I think I’m going to be doing a Down the TBR Hole for tomorrow, Series I Started in 2024 for Tuesday, WWW Wednesday for Wednesday, New Years Resolution Book Tag for Thursday, Friday will be Stacking the Shelves, and Saturday will be my TBR for January. The only differences from before are Monday and Tuesday.

Right now I am still reading Death by the Dozen as I haven’t had much chance to read this week. I am hoping to finish it by my next update, though!

This week I have started What? Door. It’s a Kpop show on YouTube following BoyNextDoor. I can’t help it. I just love these shows. I’ve watched so many of them this year. And I’m thinking of trying out TWS’ show next.

  1. Ooh, those dog treats look nice and soft/chewy which would be perfect for my old dog. Do you have a recipe you’d be willing to share? 🙂 I hope you have a great week ahead!
