Highlights: Christmas Cookies 2014

Published on December 14, 2014 By Emily. Updated on December 14, 2014

It’s holiday baking season! (Granted, it probably has been for several weeks, but I’m really behind this season.  We just put up our tree today!) I’ve already participated in 2 of my 3 cookie swaps for the year, so I thought it would only be appropriate to share some of the cookie recipes appearing in my Feedly.  If they don’t help you, maybe they’ll at least help me decide what I’m making for the last swap of the year!  I’m open to suggestions!  Stay tuned for Tuesday’s post…I’ll be sharing my favorite cookie recipes for cookie swaps…or any other baking you may find yourself doing.

    Not that I need more cookies in my life, but I’m kind of jealous of all of your cookie swaps! I wish that was something that was an annual tradition for me.

      Make it a tradition! I think January and February swaps are especially fun, because people don’t generally get the chance to bake then and there’s less stress in the air.

        I would definitely like to make it a tradition in the future! However 2015 may not be the year to start that. I might be a little busy in January….

In January I decided that one of my "deliberate" s In January I decided that one of my "deliberate" sub-goals for 2021 would be to figure out the best pizza dough recipe and topping combinations for my family. We've had pizza night on the menu for a long time, but I knew that I could improve the pizzas that were coming out of my oven. Each week (or so) I've been sharing in my Stories the pizzas I've made with various stores and toppings. I am eight weeks in I've already learned a lot about technique and what I prefer in a pizza crust and toppings. I'm also looking forward to seeing what the rest of the year will hold in my pizza making studies. Check out my highlights for all the pizzas so far!

In typical 2020 fashion, I had all kinds of issues getting my Top 9 created this year and this image still has problems. 
But the images are accurate and nicely summarize the year - take out from local establishments (@aokberkshirebbq, @thebreakroomgw, @northadamsfarmersmarket), #RelishmentsBakes projects, the natural beauty of the Berkshires and our successful container garden.

Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting to my Instagram feed was one of the things that didn't make the cut. There are more items than I'd prefer in that category, but recently I've felt like I'm beginning to get my feet firmly planted beneath me again. This fall was so busy with learning how to teach remotely and parent 2 children well. I don't anticipate that life will ever feel not busy, but I've been able to carve out some time lately for activities I've been missing. Making bread is one of those activities. Hopefully, more posts in the feed will be more frequent going forward.

#sponsored All the time we've spent at home lately #sponsored All the time we've spent at home lately has definitely had me looking to expand the snack options in my pantry.  I jumped at the chance to try these @sunmaid Sour Raisins  and they immediately became one of my daughter's favorite snacks. She likes them because they're reminiscent of candy, I like them because they're technically fruit and they come prepackaged for easy snacking and taking on the go. I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty they are!

This weekend's weather was amazing and my family e This weekend's weather was amazing and my family embarked on the only way to kick off fall: we went apple picking at Jaeschke Orchards in Adams.  The parking lot was full, but out in the orchard we hardly came across any other groups.  The trees were heavy with apples and we quickly filled our bag. Looking forward to apples for snacks, pie, crisp and turnovers in the coming weeks.
