So as I may have mentioned a time or two, all of our Christmas gifts this year were handmade. I do enjoy holiday cooking and baking, but this year I took it to 11. Luckily we have been trapped in our house for the past 2 weeks because of the snow, but it still was a lot of planning and long hours in front of the stove.
We put together gift baskets with a stocking for each person cross stitched by yours truly. Then a multitude of baked goods and other stuff to eat. So essentially in the past month we have made enormous batches of the following.....
Peanut butter cookies
cranberry orange cookies
cinnamon chip cookies
penuche (walnut fudge)
baklava
peanut brittle
almond roca
hard candy
chex mix
Kahlua
bailey's Irish cream
incredible pasta sauce
fresh homemade pasta (made by my awesome husband)
It only comes once a year and I do love to do it, but boy I am glad when it is over :)
