I baked like a madwoman on December 24th and 25th.
On Christmas Eve, I began with a request…banana bread muffins with cinnamon/sugar crumble
Mini-muffins for Ellie
Full-sized Rebel Alliance muffins for Ravi
Couldn’t resist when I was at a Williams Sonoma store in the US
I made cookies for Santa…chocolate candy cane cookies and gingerbread cookies
I didn’t just dip them in candy canes, but also other xmas themed sugary stuff.
Surprisingly, I think the dough was almost better than the cookies
I made a few gingerbread bears, but then sensed a disturbance in the force…
(otherwise known as I didn’t have Xmas themed cookie cutters and have been looking for an excuse to use my star wars cookie cutters).
On Christmas day, I made a full dinner…
Honeyed Ham with Brown Sugar Glaze
Parker House Rolls (they ended up being the most time consuming part of the day)
Just before I posted this, I made cinnamon rolls with the extra dough.
Sweet Potato and Marshmallow Casserole and Creamy Garlic Mashed Potatoes
There was also salad from a bag (gasp!) and steamed broccoli.
Entirely filling, entirely delish!
Tomorrow I’ll do a Christmas Post…but here’s a preview…
Here’s what happened after Hurricane Ellie met the presents under the tree…
