Visions of sugar plums
Stockpiling ingredients for Christmas baking. The loot looks good so far. Have assorted bags of chips including a bag of Ghirardelli 60% Cacao Bittersweet Chips, white chocolate, mini chips, and butterscotch chips. Not sure how I'm going to use the Ghirardelli yet, either for cookies or a dessert (probably a dessert). Also stocked my shelves with French butter, pecans, dried blueberries & cranberries, and macadamia nuts. As usual, I overbought and am overambitious. Most of the ingredients will keep until well after Christmas, so all is good.
Definitely on the agenda are my cranberry & blueberry fudge and my all-time favorite rice krispy cookies. Maybe the rocky road fudge. Maybe gingerbread boys. Maybe snickerdoodles. Maybe sugar cookies. Maybe some kind of mochi. Ooh, chocolate & peanut butter sounds good. Haven't made that since Sis was here. Did I make that? I'm pretty sure I did... Probably the fruit bars if I remember to buy dried figs. Ooh and definitely peppermint meringues.
No cookies this weekend. Christmas tree pickup and must clean house for UH game. Found a recipe for German Chocolate Pecan Pie. Need to buy coconut, but I think I'm baking pie. Have been craving pecans lately, I think it's because I neglected them on Thanksgiving. Hmmm, also thinking nachos (kalua pig?) and quesadillas. We haven't had those for a while too. Have no theme for the game, will leave that to Musson.
Found the cutest idea for gingerbread house cupcakes. For sure the kids would love that. Must keep up my reputation of the best baker ever (in my baby's eyes).
My mood: cold & hungry
