COOKIES! Specifically peanut butter blossoms.

Here in Brazil we eat a lot of panetone and chocotone (a chocolat version of panetone)

MMMMmmmmm Marzipan. I didn't have any this year but it tastes so good.

I love making Spritz and Russian Tea Cakes

Homenade chimenea and cheescake are my favorites

Mmm peanut butter balls

My birthday is on Christmas, so my favorite Christmas food is birthday cake

Shortbread cookies and Panetone and Chocotone. I need to go eat breakfast because all this talk of food is making me hungry.

suuuuch trash for gingerbread and (soft, homemade!) gingersnaps this time of year. and like--a sliding scale of ginger baked goods. ginger cookies with lemon filling? done, bring it. gingerbread with candied ginger? YES PLEASE. soft homemade gingersnaps rolled in sugar? hnnnngggg. I am not picky. just cover me in ginger.

HOLIDAY EVERYTHING. Pumpkin pie, peppermint, and the good food.

Throughout my childhood I looked at stuffing with disgust. There was no way I was going to eat something that looks that gross.

Then one year I thought I'm an adult now, let's at least try it.

Have you ever wanted to travel back in time to slap some sense into a younger you?

Pecans and Walnuts fresh from the shells.

I love homemade dressing and pumpkin cheesecake!

Sugar Cookies

Yule log cake / Buche de Noel. All day, every day!

No holiday meal is complete without mashed potatoes and gravy.

Pumpkin pie.... Although I really like turkey with stuffing and gravy, too.

My grandmother has a wonderful recipe for a honey-maple glaze that makes a delicious holiday ham. Topped with pineapples and cherries.... yum.

I also adore cheesecake and Christmas cookies; we always make shortbread, ginger snaps, and thumbprint sugar cookies~

my mum christmas pudding smothered in warm caramel sauce.....sigh

My husband makes the best home made rolls. yummm
