Bake the holidays merry with our Gingerbread Cake with White Chocolate Ganache Recipe!

I'm sitting here wondering how the year flew by so quickly... again! I'm sure I say that every year about this time. Even though I love the Holidays... they often come too fast and end up sneaking up on me! AND with all that being said, here we are, at the middle of December! So, to celebrate, I figured we needed a cake because cakes always make life an extra happy.

My fun photography moment & Gingerbread Cake with White Chocolate Ganache Recipe


I have to admit that this Gingerbread Cake with White Chocolate Ganache was SO much fun to photograph. Sometimes I just end up taking a ton of photo's because I'm simply SO in love with how it looks. I never would have thought that I'd come to love food styling and photography as much as I do. It's grown on me over the years and I'm grateful to create in a way that's so much fun!

And now...Fit Friday

 I cannot believe this year is almost over. It has been a year where time has certainly had it's own rules. Some of the days have been slow, while others completely get away from me without a thing getting done. I have had weeks where I woke up swearing it was already Friday only to discover it was Tuesday. And I have had months that have completely flown by and suddenly are over. All in all I am striving to end the year standing tall and ready to welcome the next.

For me that also means ending the year on a healthy high note. That does not mean I am saying no to Christmas cookies or getting rid of all bread. It does not mean I am excessively working out to "burn those calories." It does mean I eat the treats that look yummy and skip on the guilt. It does mean that I am making time for some social/therapy/me time runs and gym sessions. With all that being said let's get to work with this awesome HIIT workout.
