What's Cookin'?

Are you baking this weekend?
I think we’re going to add these (which I found on Pinterest and traced to this blog) to our rotation.
Because they’re cute.
And because that’s exactly how much frosting I can tolerate.
How about you? Trying anything new for Christmas this year?

I shopped for baking supplies yesterday. I had originally planned on trying some new recipes this year but I’m overwhelmed as it is so I’m falling back on old stand-bys and not doing all that much:
spritz
peanut butter blossoms
choc chip
oatmeal raisin and oatmeal cranberry
meringue kisses
poormans cake
toffee
peppermint bark
Just made a blackberry/black cherry crisp (adapted from the Apple Crisp recipe from Danielle Bean’s website) for a party tonight.
I think I might try something different for Christmas dinner this year since as of right now we’re not going to be spending it with anyone…I’m thinking lasagna. The kids will eat it and I can make it ahead…perfect.
We did lasagna for Christmas for years, until my husband became lactose-intolerant. It was great! Many Italians eat Italian sausage on New Year’s, so we’d make a vegetarian lasagna for New Year’s and have a pile of sausage on the side. Ravioli or tortelini is also good with sausage on the side—sometimes you can get it green, red, and white, which the kids love for Christmas.
Gwen: gingerbread cutouts or the cake-style with lemon sauce? For gingerbread men, we use the recipe from Joy of Cooking; if you don’t make them way thin, they stay nice and soft. For the cake-style, I use the recipe in Better Homes and Gardens cookbook. I can post either if you need it.
My favorite for this year (I’ve made them a couple times, but not as Christmas cookies) are baci di dama. I think the recipe is called “chocolate hazelnut sandwich cookies” on Pioneer Woman’s Tasty Kitchen. I just dip them in chocolate instead of sandwiching them, but they are So Good!
