These tender, shortbread cookies are flavored with lemon and ginger, and studded with candied ginger and orange peel, then baked to a golden brown, drizzled with a citrusy glaze, and sprinkled with golden sugar. They make an elegant addition to your Christmas Cookie platter.
I must have blinked because here we are at Christmas Week. We have spent all month preparing to celebrate the birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ, and it still feels like it snuck up on me.
I am pretty much prepared. I just need to pick up a couple of last-minute stocking stuffers and groceries. Before I can get those groceries, I need to decide what I'm serving this week....so here we go.....
Tonight we are taking the Angel Face to the Jurassic Experience and then out to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner. Then she is coming back to spend the night with us.
Christmas Eve is spent at Dan and Rebecca's. We will sing at Mass on Christmas Morning and then have an open house starting at Noon with Dinner at 3 pm.
On Friday, the First Day of Christmas, we are going to see the Broadway play Shucked at the Fisher Theater at 2 pm and will enjoy dinner out afterward.
All the flavors you love in lasagna come together in this Baked Ziti Casserole with a lot less fuss and muss.
This was my Mom's recipe. It is the first recipe that I ever made by myself. There was no recipe, but I had helped my Mom enough that I didn't need one. I was about 9 years old and surprised my Mom by having dinner ready when she got home.
Today is my Mom's birthday. She is celebrating up in Heaven with all the other family and friends we have lost before we were ready.
Our challenge this month, given by Camilla of Culinary Cam, was to share our favorite Italian Wine. Say what?!! Am I really expected to choose just one Italian wine out of all the wonderful wines they have to offer?
I've decided to share a new Italian wine I enjoyed recently at a wine tasting. This wine is from the Langhe region of Piedmont, a white wine in a land known for its reds.
I just finished listening to The Sideways Life of Denny Voss. It was a Kindle recommendation that included an audible feature with the e-book.
