  1. Decorating the Christmas cake was a bit of a last minute affair but I think I got away with it.

  3. It's not Christmas until I get these bad boys made.

    My sisters and I split the cookie baking responsibilities for Xmas every year (we make cookie boxes for friends). My sisters refuse to make these sugar cookies because they're so time-consuming to make between the dough making, the dough chilling, the rolling out and cutting, the watching them like a hawk in the oven, and then frosting them. But, for me, they're "Christmas essentials" so I spend the time to make them.

    Edit: First batch guinea pig flavor test: only mildly spicy, and needs salt. Otherwise tasty. Rated two Hubby-thumbs up.

  7. Here's a recipe for low fat (swap sugar with Stevia for low sugar) oatmeal cookies, small batch, maybe a dozen or so cookies. I needed a recipe for cookies for a family member with diabetes and heart issues. I may use mashed avocado instead of applesauce for a healthy fat, better texture, & add chopped apples, dates, or dark chocolate chips. For gluten free, try it with a gluten free flour.

    The batter is chilling in the fridge, dark and fudgy. It has all the appearance of being evilly delicious. I'll probably bake them tomorrow.

  11. All of that makes three full sized cakes and three 3/4 sized.

    The house is starting to smell like when mom, aunts and grandmother were baking.

  12. Christmas baking season starts this weekend. 7.5 pounds of dried and candied fruit with a cup of good brandy. Later today I will be baking fruit cakes. Then I will look at staring various tarts, and squares. Next week several dozen donuts for work.

    Our cat was supervising me and making sure I didn't cut myself with the knife.

  13. This week I'll be making low carb mincemeat for mince pies and possibly, if there is any left from a second batch later, to add to a Christmas style low carb fruit cake.
    I've never found or created a really good low carb fruit cake; most low carb sites aren't British and don't quite get it. Eg a 'Christmas cake' with pineapple and very pale crumb isn't traditional here.
    But last year's was close. As I allow myself a few more carbs nowadays I added a little treacle.

  15. From a nutritional standpoint, I’ve eaten far too much butter this week. But from a self-care standpoint…

    Ok y’know what? From a self-care standpoint, I’ve also eaten far too much butter this week.

    Let’s try again.

    As a potential spokesperson for butter, I’ve probably eaten a qualifying amount of butter this week.

  17. It might be missing something…a gingerbread cat maybe, but with the difference in scale it would look like Kitten Kong and that’s not a look I’m going for (this year anyway).

  19. Finally got around to some baking. First mince pies of the year (not counting the ones I made in January with the last of Christmas past mincemeat).

    A couple might have been eaten already.

  21. Assuming abt 100 calories per cookie, and abt 36 cookied per batch, I would conservatively estimate that I've baked at least 54,000 calories of cookies in the past week.

  22. The finished product. I'm tired and will probably smell like gingerbread for days, but it's worth it.

    If anyone wants recipes for any of this, let me know. Happy to share, and I've even shared some step by steps on insta before for some of them.

  23. I did eventually get my cake decorating head back on today. I’m pretty pleased with how the cake turned out…hopefully it will taste ok too!

  24. It's time to pack all this into hampers! There's pecan and treacle soda bread mini loaves, chocolate hazelnut biscuits, marshmallows, gingerbread muffins with caramel chai buttercream, spiced shortbread with white choc, orange, and cranberries, and of course, a ton of gingerbread biscuits. #christmas #christmasBaking

  25. CW: Food and alcohol - cooking fruitcake

    Phase 1 of the boiled fruitcake - the boiling part. Today's cake has brandy, bourbon and gin as the alcohol of choice. All froths up nicely when the bicarb is added. Tastes good - fruitcake cocktail.
