This thread is dedicated to treats of the season, list any great food, drink, or gifts, received or given...

My wife has been baking for more than a week, and I've got dozens upon dozens of

Cookies: Molasses, Sugar, Chocolate Chip, Chocolate with Peanut Butter Chips, Thin Mint (Girl Scout knockoffs )

Fudge: Chocolate, Cookies and Cream

Candy (all from scratch): Turtles, Caramels, Peanut Butter Cups, Peppermint Patties and Peppermint Balls

There's probably more that I can't remember right now.

Last night she made Tourtiere for dinner which is a meat pie from pork and beef, with all sort of spices and seasonings.

I know she was making homemade sausage, so I think we're going to have sausage rolls...

Merry Christmas!

Still in morning attire. But, once I get up and about, I'll stop by the EMS station and grab some of the 20 dozen various cookies that a church group brought for us. There's no way we'll eat them all at the station before they go bad.

No goodies, but I'm trying to lose the weight I gained over the past few months. Boris, do you or your wife have some lower calorie recipe versions of your goodies? Yes, I know low-cal baking is a mortal sin.

She keeps the recipes and makes all the treats so I don't really know.

However, in the last ten days or so we've gone through probably 25 pounds each of sugar, butter, and chocolate chips (semi-sweet, milk chocolate, & white chocolate), plus quite a pounds of peanut butter, flour, and powdered sugar, so I don't really think any of it is low-cal.

What's that saying? If you have to ask, you can't afford to eat it...

I'm of Norwegian ancestry and this is a staple in my family around Christmas.

I'll probably make rice krispies treats to give away I'd try cookies, but there's no oven here...

Sausage-Cheese Biscuits hot out of the oven...
