Here on the eve of the Eve, I have been busy baking my little heart out. I made double batches of sugar cookies, kolacky (apricot, cherry and plum filled) and cranberry walnut tassies. This is the most baking I've ever done in one day! I just took my apron off and plan to have a sampling of each type of cookie with a nice hot cut of coffee.
I hope all the farmgirls are having a wonderful baking day too. It has been snowing like crazy all day here. We are snowed in and loving it! Merry Christmas everyone!

Dawn, I have been baking all day as well. I made walnut oat bars (which are smoothered in fudge), Cranberry bars with cream cheese frosting, my moms crescent cookies, dark chocolate fudge with a peppermint white chocolate top and my daughter bless her little heart is upstairs finisheing the sugar cookies which still need to be decorated. We will decorate those tomorrow and I will bake the Chocolate Fruit Cake then as well if I can find the muscovado sugar at whole foods.
Now I need to go off and get that darn christmas stocking finished!

Seems it was the baking day! I baked with my mom also. We did cut out cookies, star cookies, mexican wedding cakes, spritz. I think that was it. Today I need to make Ruby some doggie cookies for her stocking! Hope everything turned out great.

I was baking all yesterday too! It was nice and snug in my kitchen and I was loathe to leave it after I was done!
I made caramel corn, 2 loaves of zucchini/carrot bread, gingerbread cookies, and hot sauce. Today I've got to make dough for the rolls for tomorrow, but I'm at the sewing machine most of today to finish a couple presents.
Everyone's baking sounds so yummy- too bad we couldn't have a cookie exchange ;-)

Wow, you farmgirls baked up some really tasty sounding treats! Sure wish we could all meet up for a cookie swap & hot chocolate! I've done my cookies up on trays to give away. Right now I'm doing my best to ignore them. I bet you can guess what one of my New Years resolutions will be!

1 lb. of sausage fried.
1 cup and 1/2 to 2 cups of grated cheddar cheese.
3 cups of bisquick.
Mix up and you may want to add a litle water.
The mixture will look like biscuit dough.
Take a table spoon measuring and roll in a ball place on a greased cookie sheet.
put in a 350 . degrees oven cook until brown.
I double these they are like little sausage biscuits.
In fact.
Mine always turn out like little round biscuits.
I cannot get them to stay in a ball. Ha.
I bake these every Christmas morning ;
we have these while opening Christmas prestents.
They are Yummy,.
Oh,
You can use hot sausage and strong cheddar cheese.
I cannot have a lot of spices so, I buy the regular sausage.

we live an hour and a half away from my Daughters and I baked Christmas Eve Eve and took death-by-chocolate cookies (for my youngest granddaughter), coconut cream pie, and sweet potatoe cassarole. Then on Christmas morning after the kids opened there gifts, I made 3 breakfast casseroles that were wonderful...It was my first time making them..and the came out great. And then my daughter and I did Christmas dinner. What a day in the kitchen. Today I am doing nothing but what I want to ...wich is nothing.

we have moved to our farm...and love it |
