Hmm i'm gonna have to think about this and come up with something interesting ^^

I'll have something to enter later! I'm making cakes for my family for Christmas dinner! I just carved them so they're about halfway done now but won't be done completely until I ice them tomorrow. (Yay for desserts that take 3 days to make XD) Hopefully they'll go okay and I'll be able to enter one! 8D

Edit: Don't let me forget to take pictures and actually include a name card in them! Knowing me I'll finish them and forget to take photos before people start eating them. XD

Suona- I think I'll allow that. :3 As long as I know it was you, that's really all that matters to me.

Jezriel- That happens to me, but it's always eggs I'm out of!

Roachi- *cheers on* You can do it! or google ideas for it, they always get my mind going.

Luna- Can't wait to see what you come up with!

Mama! mama! Look What I did!

description of item: Holiday cupcakes! Use any cupcake flavor (these are red velvet) and top with white icing. For the Santa, sprinkle coconut on one half and red sprinkles around the edge of the other half then add two chocolate chips for eyes, a red candy for the nose, and a mini marshmallow for the pompom on the hat. For the snowman, we covered the top in white nonpareil sprinkles (although, since it's white icing, you don't really have to), then add chocolate chips for the eyes and mouth and a candy for the nose (preferably something orange; I was going to use an orange M&M but forgot to get some and had to improvise). For the ornament, cover the top with sugar sprinkles of any color, then cut a large marshmallow in half width-wise and stick a mini candy cane in it for the ornament hook. Then stick it on top of the cupcake and voila, it looks like the top of an ornament!

Oooh. I was wondering if it was something from Peeblo, but didn't think it'd be that. haha.

LOL, WoW. xDD I can't help myself when that game is mentioned.. I'm just not a fan of it I suppose. :sweat: So many other games out there that are better.. We could definitely chill IRL though, Suona. :cool: We'd bake things all the time, lolz. xDD <33

Yeah, I didn't think it would be that either. Such a trickster! >__<

Oh dear, not one of my strong suits to be honest with you, lol.

description of item: It's a quiche, the filling is red and green pepper with a little bit of onion and cheese. Before putting it in the oven I grated a little extra cheddar cheese over the top and cut a little Christmas tree from the green pepper. I made my own pastry so I need to figure out something to do with the extra left. XD

I'm at my parents' house for the holidays so I'm without a lot of my usual baking things (I rolled that pastry with an empty wine bottle) but I might try and make something else when the shops open again after Christmas. ^^

Mama! mama! Look What I did!

Kat- OMG! Quiche! Can I get your recipe? ^^;; I've been wanting to try a quiche for a while now. lol.

Jessie- I feel like I gained a pound just looking at it! :drool:

Oooh lovely entries ^^

Okay, I realize the thread title says "Cooking Mama", but I still believe the baking men and boys of Menewsha should have some representation! -puts on apron and strikes a pose, then trips- OOF! -gets back up and presents cookies-

I'm sure I got the basic quiche recipe from somewhere but I can't find it now. This recipe looks similar to what I do, only I don't use gluten-free flour or an egg in the pastry and you can swap out their filling (other than the eggs and milk) for whatever you want. ^^

Ooh, colourful cookies.

Cadone- lovely! and it's only cooking mama, cuz I'm a mama. <3 Gotta show Mama your handy work in the kitchen! And I'm ALL for men in the kitchen. ;D My husband does half the cooking!

Thanks Kat!

:D Thank you! Haha, i usually end up making breakfast about half the time, my Mama makes it the other half. other than that I don't cook unless it's for stuff like the Holidays or other miscellanious parties :P

OMG, JESSIE~
I want to try some of that, it looks SO delicious. :drool:

Just want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. Even though i know it's still xmas eve there for most of you! But i hope you all have a wonderful day!! :)

Oh my gosh Cadone, those are so gorgeous!

I actually stopped by wondering if anyone here has a recipe for Chirstmas Cookies?
Nothing too fancy, but something do-able.
This will be my first time making them from scratch and such.
:' 3

Popcorn- Do you have all the ingredients you would need? I like to make a simple sugar cookie called "spritz"

Spritz

2 ¼ C flour
½ t baking powder
¼ t salt
1 C shortening (part butter)
¾ C sugar
1 egg beaten
1 t almond extract



Preheat oven to 400°
Sift together flour, baking powder and salt.
Cream shortening, add sugar gradually. Beat until light.
Add egg and almond extract.
Add dry ingredients; work with hands if it seems crumbly.
Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet for 7-10 minutes

They're really simple to make, and normally turn out how they're supposed to (My husband and mother in law can't do it though. xD) And you can switch the almond extract for vanilla, or orange or really whatever extract you're in the mood for. Mint might be good, with some green food coloring? hmmm... xD And if you don't want to ball them you can roll the dough and do shapes etc.

Eee! Yay! ^^
I wanted to make more this christmas, but they weren't up for it. Just going to do cookies for a little, and thats it. D: I'll probably take some pics of those for this, too. :yes:

Thank you. o 3o
I'll dig up the pic and then take one and PM to you soon.

I'm not a fan either. They've tried to get me to play, and I refuse. I use to play WC3, and its a fun game, but its not WoW and its not something you pay monthly for. You buy the game, and you got it. lol And its fun. I made a lot of really good online friends on that game. No one goes on it much anymore these days, though. WoW dragged many away.

Haha. Thats peeblo for ya. I wonder if after the event we'll just have a multi-item choice with it, and get them both.
