I hope you all had a blessed Thanksgiving! We certainly did.
We have so much to give thanks to God for – including delicious food, fun times with family, and excellent leftovers.
Friday, rather than shopping, my mom and I had our annual Christmas baking day!
This year, we made whole wheat molasses crinkles, dark chocolate cherry shortbread, mint chocolate cookie crunch, mint chipper crinkle cookies {new}, oatmeal cherry chocolate cookies {new}, honey fudge {new}, toffee {new}, chex mix, potato doughnuts and 24 C of turkey broth (which we turned into turkey soup)!
I treasure days like that with my mom! There are still some Christmas eats on our baking list – like my mom’s famous amaretto fudge {see pic below} – but we made good progress on our favorite treats.
Our menu this week involves creative ways to use up Thanksgiving leftovers.
