Holiday Baking Day 1
Day 1 of my holiday baking has commenced. I am planning to do a variety of both savory and sweet treats for the days ahead. Because so many Christmas traditions revolve around food favorites, I have decided to create both treats for those of us eating on the THM plan, and the lucky ones. Actually, I am learning that many of the on plan treats are just as delicious as those loaded with sugar, but I know that my family would be disappointed if their favorites did not make an appearance.
Cranberry Bliss Bars THM S
Praline No Bake Cookies THM S
Date Nut Pinwheel Cookies The ‘Ole Buckeye’s Favorite (off plan)
Broiled Feta with Garlicky Tomatoes and Capers THM S
Yummy Bars Traditional Family Favorite (off plan)
Peanut Butter Candy Traditional Family Favorite (off plan)
No Bake Cookies THM S page 316 THM Cookbook THM No Bake Cookies (my new favorite!)
With day 1 of holiday baking complete, I am happy with not only the tried and true traditional favorites, but I am really happy with the new THM compliant trials. With a successful day of baking, I am making a list for the next day in the kitchen.
I love the holidays! (So does the ‘Ole Buckeye!) In fact he actually joined me in the kitchen to learn to make chex mix (second batch), and I don’t eat it. He did great aside from adding 4 teaspoons of seasoned salt instead of 1. Lots of liquid refreshment required with the newest batch.
Let the joy of the holiday season continue…Bon Appetit’!
