  • I’ve been sick most of this Christmas season so I have not made ANY Christmas cookies.  Okay, I’ll take it back.  We made peanut butter blossoms and then we ate them. I decided to update my peanut butter blossom recipes using gluten free flour. I noticed that the dough does not stand up as well…

  • Microwave Peanut Brittle

    I attempted this recipe twice before I was successful.  It’s a simple yummy recipe which is one of my favorite types of recipes.

  • My Grandma’s Fudge – Christmas Making and Baking 2016

    Have you ever done or bought something but did not know why?  A few weeks ago, I bought some marshmallow creme/fluff because I wanted fudge.  Then I kept looking for a recipe that used marshmallow creme.  I didn’t find any recipes that I would want to make.  

  • Old Fashioned Sugar Cookies – Christmas Making and Baking 2016

    During the Christmas season, I enjoy finding new recipes to try.  So when I saw the recipe for Old Fashioned Sugar Cookies, I knew I needed to try them.

  • My Annual Baking List – 2016

    Every year, I have to write down a list or create a list in my brain of what I usually make during the holiday season.  This year I’m going to create the list on my blog.  Then next year I can add to it if I want to or change it up. My boys’ favorite…

  • Cinnamon Sugar Pretzels – Christmas Making and Baking 2016

    I’ve begun my Christmas Making and Baking 2016.  When I found this recipe, I decided to make it since it looked so simple to put together. While I was waiting to put the white drizzle on the pretzels the Wee One wandered into the kitchen.  He decided he needed to taste the pretzels.  The Wee…

    I’m finishing up my Christmas making and baking. My mom called me last night to tell me that she was going to come over to our house for Christmas.  It’s been many years since she’s been at our house for Christmas, so it was a nice surprise.  The one thing she asked for was homemade…

  • Eggnog Doughnuts – Christmas Making and Baking

    I bought some eggnog to make eggnog bread. Since I had some of the eggnog left, I decided to find a recipe to make eggnog doughnuts. This recipe is moist and delicious. It paired well with my coffee flavored with my peppermint mocha creamer. It would also be delicious with my eggnog creamer. To make…

  • Santa’s Whiskers – Christmas Making and Baking

    I made these many years ago.  This year I decided to make them once again. Things you need to remember – Don’t use press and seal plastic wrap when you wrap the cookie dough in plastic wrap.  That made it difficult to make a roll.  The coconut will make a mess.  Just keep the broom…

  • Peppermint Mocha Creamer – Christmas Making and Baking

    I’m enjoying making new creamers now that I got the ratio of milk/ half & half/ or heavy whipping cream to condensed milk. This creamer needs to be warmed up so that the cocoa is dissolved.  I had to strain the nondissolved cocoa, so there weren’t any lumps left. As you can see from my…
