This week most of my progress has been getting some Christmas baking done, though I did take one day off to work on the knitted blanket (almost done).
So what did I manage to get done towards Christmas treats.
Peanut Butter Marshmallow Bars was the first item on the list. I even saved a few for Harvey and I do have for dessert.
I also made Chocolate Coconut drops.
Next up on the list was....
My pumpkin pies for Christmas dinner.
A day later I made Whipped Shortbread Cookies as well as....
This is what my Mom always called English Shortbread.
Today I made my first batch of Cinnamon Buns. I will make another batch tomorrow hopefully.
These make a lovely, if rather unhealthy breakfast when we are in a hurry over the holidays.
More baking will take place next week. I need to make my Almond Bark, Peanut Brittle, Christmas Crack (that is also called Toffee Surprise), and I think some other candy like Caramels, and perhaps Chocolate Covered Mints. Cookies such as Ginger Crinkles, and Chocolate Chip will be made as well.
I am hoping to be done all baking by the end of next week, or perhaps just a couple of days into December.
I still have a few quick gifts to make for the baskets, and another knitted blanket to start.
So that's my weekly projects done.
Everybody have a wonderful evening.
God bless.
It has started to snow finally so I will be stuck (which I really rather prefer in the winter) at home and can start things as soon as I finish the household tasks for the next few days.
Wow! Once again you've been busy. Nobody is going to go hungry for treats at your house over the holidays!
ReplyDeleteGoodness, what a lot of baking.
ReplyDeleteI'm interested to know the difference between your two shortbread makes
How do you store your goodies? Do you freeze everything? I always struggle with that. I wanted to get started on baking but decided to wait because of how to keep it all fresh. Maybe i’m over thinking it. Everything looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, your baking looks soooo good! You are such a great cook Jackie. Enjoy your quiet 'snow' time ,

OMG! you had me at Whipped shortbread! That wouldn't last a week at my house as when it comes to shortbread I have very little control LOL.
