Ok, cookies. So I let DS scroll through a huge cookie list. He GASPED when he saw these grinch cookies -
So we made those, I mean, I just used a plain sugar cookie recipe and green dye, but they're freakin adorable. We only had the round cinnamon candies though so I think I might make another batch with cinnamon hearts for his daycare cookie exchange next week.
ETA oh that I most definitely NOT A pic of the ones I made. That's just from some blog it looks like. Ours were cute but not fancy schmany picture perfect.
I'm making my first attempt at MH's grandmother's peanut butter ball recipe. My SIL has made alterations to the recipe over the years, so this year he got a copy of the original recipe that I am going to follow to the letter.
I've held onto to my grandmother's double boiler and love the idea of being able to use it to make his grandmother's recipe.
Ok, so who has a good Christmas morning breakfast recipe? Like, some sort of casserole or something hearty I can prep ahead and toss in the oven?
This is our Christmas morning quiche recipe. I can't ever remember a Christmas without it and now my Mom makes us each one for our families to eat at our houses. I think she makes like 10 of them at once. It's the sweetest! It is also suuuuper rich and heavy so beware.
1 frozen DEEP DISH pie shell 3 eggs 1 cup half and half 4 oz diced ham(My Mom always buys the little buddig packs so it is two packs but you can use whatever) 1/2 pound bacon crumbled sautéed onions(to taste, we use a lot) salt and pepper dash of nutmeg swiss cheese
Combine the eggs, half and half, salt, pepper, and nutmeg and mix well. Put ham, bacon, and onions in the pie and pour the egg mixture over. Stir gently to mix and then lay slices of swiss cheese on top as a crust.
Bake at 350 for 30 min...until it starts firming up in the center. Cool and refrigerate with tin foil covering until you want to serve. When ready to serve, cut a large hole in the tin foil, leaving an outer edge of tin foil covering the crust. Bake at 350 for 25 min.
ETA: You can totally play around with different meats, cheese on top, or veggies. It is a very forgiving recipe.
I volunteered to bring cookies to my work holiday party this Saturday. But that may be the only cooking or baking we do, since we're going to be traveling. It's likely we'll be sent to buy the donuts for Chanukah, or that I'll help out with the latkes. And the ILs haven't figured out what they're doing for Christmas dinner yet, so who knows.

Has anyone made brisket in a crock pot? I think my in laws may come for Christmas Eve dinner and I have no idea what to make them.
I haven't done it in a crock pot, but my family recipe is pretty low maintenance in the oven so I'm sure something similar would work in the crock pot. Brisket is a great way to get a lot of meat cooked very simply.

Our Christmas dinner menu is ham, stuffing, mashed potatoes (with butter, milk, velveeta, Creme fraiche, and chopped green onions), Mac n cheese, green beans, corn, and rolls.
We will be having strawberry rhubarb pie and Sugar Cream Pie (like Creme brûlée) for dessert with ice cream and homemade whipped cream.

WWGKUD?? I have a sort of related question...I have a holiday party potluck thing tomorrow night with a group of people I don't really know well (it's a networking group I just joined). They asked what people were bringing and I was going to do bruschetta but the guy organizing said someone else was bringing that. So, I was thinking of bringing these sweet and spicy roasted nuts I make that are usually a big hit...but...is that enough of a "dish" to bring to a potluck? I feel like there's always so much food, it could be a good, easy to eat snack...but I don't want to seem chintzy, ha!
I also got stuff to make marinated olives and feta...but that doesn't seem like it goes with the nuts...or is enough on its own either?
Then...the guy just emailed me to say that no one is making bruschetta after all, ha...so I could just go back to that (though it means another trip to the store).
So, what would you do? I realize no one is going to remember or care what I bring, but I do want to make a good impression if anyone does notice, ha!
