Merry Christmas! It’s time for the annual Christmas Eve breakfast post — and a record for me of the Christmas cookies I made this year. We’re having a low-key Christmas this year – just TheManoftheHouse, The SecondChild, MeMum and me. Everyone else is with their in-laws this year.
I made my traditional favorite three — sugar cookies (I’ve started using the recipe in Jenny Cookies sugar cookie book), Angel Slices, and Grandma Hill’s Browned Butter Cookies. I also made my favorite salted caramels – yum, yum! And then, I decided to try my hand at Peanut Brittle. I Love peanut brittle – my mother-in-law used to send me a bag every year for Christmas and I hoarded it. She used a microwave recipe and I tried it years ago to no avail — microwaves differ and I ended up burning the batch and never trying it again. But recently, I was looking at recipes in a Southern Living Favorites Collection that I have and ran across a traditional recipe and decided to try it. And, I’m soooo excited that it worked and it’s really good! At some point I’ll try to get the recipe posted in my recipe section — it’s a keeper!
I hope you’ve had a wonderful month of holiday preparation. Everything has gone smoothly here. The advent calendars kept us busy — there are always a few activities with Grammy and Grandpa tucked into the pockets. One of which is Christmas cookies with Grammy — we always have a great time. And the kitchen always needs to be cleaned the next day — there were sprinkles and icing everywhere LOL!
Anyway, enough for now – wishing you a Wonderful Christmas and holiday season!
XOXO,
Anna
Merry Christmas Anna!!
Merry Christmas Anna, wishing you and yours a blessed day. I used to make peanut brittle every year, until I was the only one who really enjoyed it, then I stopped, LOL! Looks like you all had fun.
Those girls are having a wonderful time – I can see that from here! Merry Christmas!
