Loving a Life of Biblical Womanhood
Here in Kentucky, we got a couple inches of fresh snowfall last night. After lunch today, I thought I’d give a try at homemade snow ice cream. I’d seen it mentioned a few times around the blogging world, but I wanted to make a healthy version without white sugar. I saw maple syrup used in one of the recipes I read, and thought that would be the perfect flavor to blend with the vanilla and the cream. It was quite delicious.

I tried to think of ways to make a glass armonica, a furnace, reaching claw, and a flexible urinary catheter. I found that these tutorials although might prove amusing to me and to those who read this would not prove useful to most people performing cupcakery. Somehow a ‘congrats on passing the kidney stone’ cupcake just didn’t feel quite right. I did feel however the kite could easily be used for a spring party or a birthday party and the glasses could be a fun addition to an ‘over the hill’ party. Hope I haven’t embarrassed myself too much and I do hope that I get to show off more complicated cupcakery in the future, but these were fun, educational, and hey darn tasty too!

Do you have some leftover eggnog, too? Not a problem. A friend of a friend shared an Eggnog Cookie recipe that is quick and easy and a perfect “after Christmas” treat. They taste just great topped with nutmeg. They taste even better topped with eggnog icing. They taste the very best topped with both!

This is my family’s traditional breakfast for Christmas morning. It’s a very light dough, crispy, with a delicate sweet flavor brought about by sprinkling it with sugar and cinnamon. I only make them for Christmas so that we have something different and new to look forward to every year.

Using your platters or baskets that you bought for each person on your gift list, put a few cookies, a few pieces of fudge, some candy — just make a small gift plate. You don’t need to give a dozen cookies. If I had done cut out sugar cookies, I would have just done four to six designs, then given one of each one. Five or six pieces of fudge is plenty. Three or four pieces of Captain Crunch Candy fills up a portion of a platter. For the two breads, I balance the platter out with a mini-loaf on either side.
In my wanderings to find the perfect red velvet cookie, I came across this recipe. It looked wonderful, so I tired it. However, I did not make the stuffing. I simply made the cookie. I had to mail these to Gregg, and cream cheese needs to be refrigerated in transport. I’m STILL hearing from soldiers about how amazing these cookies are, a good week after they were eaten.

We have three weeks to prepare for our Christmas baking gift giving. This is a tradition my mother taught me, and something I look forward to and plan for every single year.
This is my grandmother’s fudge recipe. We look forward to it every Christmas. My family has been making it for five decades, and will be making it for many many more decades to come.
