Easy sugar cookies recipe
I love a great recipe. I think that an Easy sugar cookie recipe is just what we need to make our holiday count. We make sugar cookies every year because it is our way to pay it forward and bring joy to others. We love to make people cookies. The reason is simple you make a memory for yourself and your family and you can also help someone else. I honestly enjoy giving these away as much as I like eating them. They make your house smell awesome as well. I can’t address how wonderful it is to do something simple with your family no matter how old or young you are cooking is a great way to create more than a great recipe.
Eggnog Cookies Recipe
Eggnog Cookies
Eggnog Logs are very pretty and very delicious but also very simple and easy to make. This is definitely an eggnog cookies recipe that the kids with love to help you bake. My kids love to roll the dough into ropes and they love cutting the dough rope into logs. Seems like young ones always want to chop and cut in the kitchen but that isn’t always an easy thing to accommodate for the tiny tots. You can fulfill their desire and keep them safe too by letting them cut the dough rope into logs with a butter knife or plastic knife. It is just like playing with play dough but they get to eat yummy cookies when they are done. Helping make cookies is also great for fine motor development and you can sneak in a little math and science without any one even noticing. [Read More…]
Free Printable Santa Letter For Kids
Free Printable Santa Letter For Kids
Christmas is one of my favorite holidays of the year! I love filling my house the holiday cheer, spending time with family, and I’ll admit it, the presents are pretty fun too. Lucky for me, my 7 year old still believes in the magic of Santa and gets really excited to write him a letter every year with what she wants. This year we wanted to try something a little different. Instead of asking Santa for random gifts, I wanted to try out the 4 gift path I had seen recently. The 4 gifts are something I want, something I need, something to wear, and something to read! So she can pick out a toy she wants, something she needs (like an electric pencil sharpener), a new outfit, and a new book! I LOVE this idea. Not only does it prevent me from going overboard (which I tend to do) it keeps her from expecting too much as well. And anything to promote reading is awesome with me! [Read More…]
The Best Christmas Tea ever!
Christmas Tea Recipe
Everyone knows that Southern food just can’t be matched…and drinks are no exception. I had this
Christmas tea a few years ago, at our small-town bank during a Holiday party, and I was willing to do anything for the recipe. It’s that good. Turns out, it’s from a hometown cookbook that’s just about as old as the town itself. So, if you’re looking for an autumn tea or Christmas tea recipe, you’ve found it. Look no further. Close all those other recipes you’ve got open, cause this is the one you want to go with.
Christmas Tea Recipe Ingredients:
2 Cinnamon sticks
2 TBSP WHOLE cloves
3 Cups sugar (Haven’t made it with Splenda, but I’m sure you could!)
1 qt. boiling water
1 qt. strong tea (REALLY REALLY STRONG)
Juice of 3 lemons (Or lemon juice)
1 cup pineapple juice
1 cup orange juice
3 quarts boiling water (You can sub some of this for apple cider!)
Directions:
Bring 1 qt water (or cider) to a boil, add cinnamon sticks, cloves, and sugar. Boil for 5 minutes, then strain out spices. Add tea and remaining ingredients. Serve hot or cold!
After making this a few times, it’s always best the next day. It’s great fresh, of course, but it’s even better after sitting overnight in the fridge. You can drink this hot or cold. The cinnamon and cloves mesh so well with the tea flavor — and the citrus notes are just the perfect finish. I promise you, if you make this, you will be asked for this Christmas tea recipe, if not crowned the king or queen of the party!
Enjoy with this easy caramel Apple monkey bread or while you are making cookies.
