What's cooking at your house?

What is a snickerdoodle??

Basically Scottie, it's a sugar cookie dipped in cinnamon sugar.

We will be having a Christmas brunch buffet, ham as the centerpiece, plus a big green salad, biscuits, and fruit. We have so many sweets received from friends that we don't need another dessert! It's super simple to fix, and what most everyone likes to eat.

I don't eat meat, though, so I'll have a batch of homemade baked beans for myself. We found the very best beans at the farmer's market, called maya copa beans. Now I use them for anything that calls for dried beans.

And snickerdoodles are the best!

Thanks Nara!

Genko -  your Christmas brunch sounds yummy . . . got room for three more?   

Actually, we're having ham too. 

Scottie - the next time you are in the states, you'll have to try a snickerdoodle cookie.

I got fast food from a loving family member who knew today was a low day. Tomorrow a community meal from our local Kiwanas (sp?) club and on Christmas Day I make the turkey (my special recipe) and my friends and family bring the rest of the food to a friends house for dinner together.
I usually cook as my honey cannot unless it is Top Ramen or steak. I am teaching my kids to cook too. They make it fun and help not to think about the time and take my mind from my pain.

Happy Holidays everyone.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE - AND MAY YOU HAVE A BLESSED NEW YEAR!

Someone might need to mail you some snickerdoodles across the pond,  Scottie. 

What's cooking at my house is a big, old pot of mashed potatoes for the extended family gathering tonight.  I was "enlisted" to make them for the crowd of about 25!  Can you see the delight in my post?  *sarcasm*  Guess it's all good since that's the only thing.

Jan is baking buns and apple crisp. We purchased some precooked shrimp for supper. I have never been able to get into eating oysters or clam chowder. So with Lobster and King crab beyond our budget, I will enjoy my shrimp.

I've got two loaves of banana bread made for the neighbors.  Chicken Marsala in one cast iron pot for tonight and a slow cook pot roast in the other.  I still have yet to make those Creme de menthe brownies but I'll get there...eventually...maybe...one of these days...probably...

i just had pizza for dinner.  Just seemed like the right thing for Christmas eve.

[Bucky]

I made homemade pizza tonight.  There's leftovers too - guess what we're having to eat some time tomorrow?  (IF it makes it through the night without the boys getting into it!  )

The turkey is done!   Getting ready to go to a Christmas program... - actually feeling up to it...

Well Murphy's law, everything went wrong this week. I've been flaring badly and couldn't move much. Due to some car trouble, I didn't get the groceries needed for the special Christmas Dinner I had planned, and I was really depressed about it! Last night, I got a good nights sleep, when I woke, found myself in brighter spirits and my fatigue lifted a good bit. I looked in the pantry and devised a plan to improvise and work with what foods we have on hand. But then, oh no!! Oven not working!!! I thought I might use the crock pot, but later had an idea to put a small fryer chicken in the bread machine and use the bake only setting, wonders never cease, it fit inside the bread machine perfectly. I'm adding some mashed potatoes and gravy to the menu, and there are plenty of frozen veggies in the freezer. When chicken is done, I will bake a cake and if my energy continues, some cinnamon raisin bread. We have Jello and frozen strawberries so that takes care of dessert. It will be a late evening meal, but we're night owls anyway and this works for us. Merry Christmas everyone!

Very creative!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
