Christmas/Winter Break Menu


This is how my menu looks to me posted on my cupboard.
What we're having is...

*Pepperoni Lasagna (Regular Lasagna with pepperoni and pizza sauce mixed in. I made a pizza casserole one time and now The Lil chef won't quite let it go so I combined the "recipes" to now have pepperoni lasagna)
*Mac N Cheese (I froze a portion of the one we had from Thanksgiving. I'm praying it will come back with no problems
*Cranberry Sauce (This is a MUST)
*Sauteed Broccoli (This is The Lil Chef's veggie, this was requested)
*Sauteed Kale (For Mommy)
*Small Ham (The Lil Chef requested a ham. I have an idea for the glaze this year...)
*Candied Bacon (there's NEVER enough)
*So Delicious Dairy Free Coconut "Eggnog"
*GF Apple Cake (I've not had apple cake in so many years. This will be the first time I'm making this.)
*Candied Butternut Squash (I froze the leftovers from Thanksgiving)
*Tater Tot Stuffing (I'll be try/making this for the first time ever. I hope this turns out good!)
*Spicy Garlic Corn
(I might make a little bitty tiny bit of real mashed potatoes)
*GF DF SF LF Chocolate Chip Cookies (I had a craving for some chocolate chip cookie and Thank God they make chocolate chips that are everything free, so I can eat them!)
(I'm supposed to be making more GF oatmeal raisin/craisin cookies and GF sugar cookies...we'll see)
*Blueberry Muffins
*Pumpkin Mufffins
*Rice pudding (My version, requested by the The Lil Chef)
*"Real" Oatmeal
*GF Biscuits and Sausage Gravy (I'm going to try a different biscuit recipe this time)
*Salted Caramel Popcorn
*Finally The Lil Chef wants Pancakes and Eggs and probably bcon on Christmas morning.

Hough Bakery - butter cookies

Hough Bakery By  Gail Greenberg   &   Diane Rolfe Hough Bakery was an integral  part of me and my family's lives, (most people in Cleveland for that matter) I was heartbroken when they closed. I have  always remembered the cookies and doughnuts from this magical bakery. Their products were like nothing I had ever had before (and it was extra  magical because I was so little/young) I have been searching for about 30 years for something similar - no luck... but, thank goodness there are a few recipes floating around the internet! Unfortunately  even with Archie's being open, my food afflictions will not allow  me to enjoy those old time favorites. Luckily, converting is what I do and that's what this site is about so I  will switch some things  around and see how it turns out! The recipe below is just ONE of my all time favorites, please enjoy! Memories of a signature blue-and-white, string-tied cake box filled with a streus...

Homemade Seasonings

I found this on Pinterest. Several things I do miss about being allergy free. So happy they can be duplicated at home Make sure the minced onions are JUST onions. I personally would use kosher salt. Use raw sugar. Instead of sour cream use 0% greek yogurt.
