Yum. I cannot be the only one really looking forward to food this week. I think tomorrow is our day to finally make the Peanut Butter Blossoms that are so bad for you, but so good :). Have you finished your baking already? What are your favorite Christmas treats this week?

Baked apples and cranberries huh 🙂 that name is much better for you blog 🙂
I do LOVE special food weeks. Let me know how the ham is! I bet delicious!
Ha, ha – yes I thought about putting “crapples” on the menu, but figured it would require too much of an explanation. And, good news! I bought two hams, so you will get to experience it for yourself on New Year’s :)! Enjoy all the food at your parents’ house :)!
Visiting from MPM….sounds like a great week of food! I always look forward to weeks of special treats…we’re having local, grassfed steaks for Christmas day.
Merry Christmas!
Oooo – very decadent!! Do you have a small family or a large Christmas budget :)!? Either way – YUM! Merry Christmas to you!
Do you have a healthier recipe for the cheesy potato casserole?? The old family favorite has cream of chicken soup in it and lots of butter and cheese. Yes, I know it is Christmas, but we are saying that to SO many things already, it would be great to “healthify” something like this! Of course, I also forgot the corn flakes for the topping at the store yesterday (what a terrible day to forget my list!!), so I think it will be twice baked potatoes anyway!
Of course I don’t have a “healthier” version of this recipe! I don’t mind the butter and the cheese, but the cream soup from a can is yuck-o to me. It is officially being added to the “Oh Well, It is Christmas” list of foods we will eat this time of year that we would never otherwise eat. I actually purchased two packages of butterscotch “pudding” mix at Target yesterday for my Christmas morning caramel rolls. So disgusting – and yet so tasty :). And, we never put a crumb topping on ours, so you can enjoy them even without the corn flakes!
Yep, it is the canned soup I am afraid of! I looked for an alternative at T. Joe’s yesterday, but decided I didn’t feel like adding lots of thickening agents to their broth for a questionable result! Friends of ours call these “heart-attack potatoes”, which we often served with “Death by Chocolate” when we were with them to just send us all over the edge.
