WHAT’S IN YOUR OVEN?

It’s that time of year where all the yummy recipes come out. I’m usually a sucker for trying out new ones at this time. Clint will buy Women’s Day or Family Circle magazines just because the dessert on the cover looks good. This past weekend, I tried out a cookie recipe which was something that was like a sesame almond crisp. It was a hit! Everyone loved and it was simple to make. Just yesterday, I tried out a bread recipe that Gra’ma Carter sent to me this week called “ Pineapple, Orange and Coconut Bread w/ Pineapple Glaze” It was a hit at my moms’ group. I will be making that again! The all-time-favorite-must-have-cookie’s that are part of Christmas around here are – Almond thumb print cookies with either apricot or raspberry filling. It’s been a favorite since we have moved to MI. Aunt Lynda sent the recipe and if you want it then HOUND her for it – I’m sure she will give it! It’s a recipe that everyone wants once they taste them. We never just make one batch and it’s another cookie that everyone in the house loves. I will be making Pecan Pie for Clint this year. We always buy one from Costco, but he thinks I didn’t know how to make them. I let the cat out of the bag when he was telling his mom that I didn’t know how. So, that means I have to get one made for him this year or here about it later.

Share your favorite recipes for candy, cookies, bread or pies – whatever has to be had or else it ‘ain’t Christmas without.’
