Holiday

I’m busy making Polish paczki for our Easter dinner. I filled three with raspberry jam and the rest are getting custard!

Happy Easter, everyone!

Merry Christmas to all my fellow cooks,

I hope all you made tastes as good as it looks.

Thank you for trusting all my recipes here,

So Merry Christmas to all🎄and a Happy New Year! 🎉

 🧑‍🎄 Merry Christmas, everyone. 🧑‍🎄

Here is my pumpkin pie that I made last night. It’s so pretty I hate to slice it but that won’ t stop me. The only thing that will prevent me eating the first slice right now is the time it takes to make some real whipped cream! Isn’t Christmas fun?? The decorations, the presents, the goodwill, and the food.  The food part is the best – the eating of the food, especially the pumpkin pie! 😋

  Best wishes to all my fellow cooks.

I already made my cranberries. There’s no Thanksgiving turkey dinner in this house without fresh  cranberries. If you haven’t made them using fresh berries, then you don’t know how easy it is. It takes five minutes and the taste is out of this world. Your kids will love watching them pop as they cook, kind of like popcorn. I don’t just make cranberries from scratch, I make my stuffing from scratch, using my own homemade bread and homemade turkey stock and my bread stuffing is awesome!

Putting together Thanksgiving dinner is a challenge, but so is cutting your own bangs… and yet we manage! ✂️ I want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and if you want to try any of my Thanksgiving recipes, here they are:

🌷🌷Happy Easter, Everyone 🌷🌷

I am so excited to see this photo come in today! The cookies, are beautiful, the setting is beautiful, and it’s the perfect photo on this Christmas Day. Bhairavi said she and her teen son baked some wonderful cookies together for the holidays. “It was perfect mom-son time during these crazy times.”

It’s my photo of the day and photo of the month. Thank you, Bhairavi, and Merry Christmas to you and your family. 🎄

I’m wrapping Christmas presents today. It’s not Christmas yet but everyone is asking when I’m going to make my caramel corn so today is the day for making homemade caramel corn for Christmas gifts. My first batch is done and cooled.

To keep if fresh I pack it in a zip top plastic bag first and then wrap it with cellophane tied with pretty ribbons. This way it’s easy for people to snack on and save some for later but I hear that it’s mostly gone in the first pass.

Every Christmas I give a variety of gifts to everyone in my life but this caramel corn is the gift that gets the most raves. Sadly, no matter how much I make there never seems to be enough. That could be due to the constant sampling that goes on when my back is turned. Click here for the recipe. – Jenny Jones
