Merkt's Cheese

I forgot to tell you about one of my favorite holiday foods…Have you ever tried Merkt's cheese?  This processed cheese spread out of Bristol, Wisconsin has been a family staple for years.  I tend to stay clear of things like processed cheese spreads…but you have to keep your comfort foods around at Christmas.  My

Challah French Toast

Mmmmm.  I make Challah for Christmas every year.  This year, I made four loaves.  One for Christmas Eve and two plus for Christmas day.  Thankfully, there was enough left over after Christmas day that I could make my favorite:  Challah french toast.  What better way to make french toast than with a semi-sweet, egg

Christmas Cookie #3 - Mexican Wedding Cakes

This cookie always reminds me of my grandmother (Grammie).  At Christmas time, she'd make these cookies (though she called them crescent cookies) for our Christmas Eve.  This kind was my favorite as it was the kind of cookie I got to make with my hands.  Pecans, butter, powdered sugar….What more could one want.  It's

Christmas Cookie Update

Cookies are on their way.  Are you excited?  Are you sitting at the edge of your seat?  If so….sit back and relax…It's not THAT exciting.  One kind baked, three in the fridge chilling…and one quick trip to the store to get something I forgot, buttermilk!!!  It isn't a NY Black & White without buttermilk!!!
