Fiesta Friday #359

A Nor’easter brought the first snow of the season.

How quickly things changed! Last weekend I was getting quite the workout (read: I was sweating) raking leaves in the garden with temperatures downright warm at 60 degrees.


I’m glad I had the opportunity to clean up out there before the storm came. I expect my gardening chores to be lighter in the spring.

And now that we’re engulfed in snow, there’s really nowhere to go and nothing to do … except for holiday baking. So, let it snow … I’m looking forward to being engulfed in butter, chocolate, sugar, sprinkles, vanilla … you name it, I want to be engulfed in it! This is not necessarily a bad thing, you know, since Christmas is just one week away. At this point, you want EVERYTHING in the house to smell like cookies. That includes your hair!

And Now, It’s Features Time!

Homemade Clotted Cream

There’s nothing as decadent as clotted cream on top of a slice of tart or cake, or scone! And this dairy-free version looks amazing.” — Eff

“I tried making homemade clotted cream before, and it took me close to 12 hours! The result may have been worth it, but wouldn’t it be great if you can do away with such an extended baking time? Well, this recipe does just that. Plus, it’s vegan. Yup! It’s another thing to put in that holiday gift basket for your vegan friend.” — Angie

Cranberry Cookie Tart

“My, oh, my … this tart has everything going for it, from the cookie crust to the freshly-made cranberry sauce filling. It looks divine!” — Angie

“I love the extra crust topping over the filling on this tart! And the addition of fresh cranberries sounds amazing.” — Eff

Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast

“Okay, I love french toast, but it can’t be soggy, so I steer clear of french toast casseroles. But this cream cheese-stuffed french toast looks so good, perfect for a lazy brunch.” — Eff

Dark Chocolate Peppermint Cookie Bars

“Peppermint and chocolate are such a great flavor combo, and Nancy has stuck them in a cookie bar… I don’t know about her, but I wouldn’t be sharing these!” — Eff

***

      You’re welcome. Btw, I had a hard time pinning any of your photos. I had to do a little trickery to lift one up to post here on my blog. Maybe the files are too big?? Just a thought.

      You’re welcome, Nancy. It’s a fabulous cookie recipe. I don’t know if all this snow will stick around until Christmas but it’s expected to snow again exactly on Christmas Day. Wouldn’t that be a pretty sight ❄️☃️

    I also did some baking two days ago and it was my first time to bake about 4-5 dozens of cookies. Well, we don’t celebrate Christmas but it doesn’t mean I couldn’t bake for my friends.? Ahhh! It was tiring considering our small oven with just one rack!!!? But I feel so good and happy.? Now, I am ready to party. I am kinda late, but better late than never. Right? Happy weekend, Angie! And happy holidays!?

    • Angie says

      December 19, 2020 at 10:19 am

      That’s a lot of cookies, Jhuls. I made several kinds but keep the doughs in the fridge/freezer so I can bake just a few daily, then just before Christmas I would do a marathon baking session so I have enough to fill Santa’s platter. It’s a huge platter! Happy holidays to you, too, and thanks for cohosting!!

      • Jhuls @ The Not So Creative Cook says

        December 24, 2020 at 3:49 am

        I’ve been telling myself to get a separate freezer for the cookies and oh, homemade ice cream!! But oh well, when you are living abroad in a small studio apartment, just use whatever is available. Otherwise, I will remove my closet and replace with a larger fridge hahaha!

        Btw, I sent you an email. I hope it reaches you.

        Take care, Angie! xx
