Donna I am not baking quite as much this year.....trying to keep the holidays low key this year. I will make my tourtierre for Christmas eve. I have already made a pumpkin pie, apple pie and pecan cream cheese pie. I will make a lemon merangue at christmas. I have gumdrop loaf made and pumpkin loaf. I will make cranberry chip cookies(mikes fav), shortbread, sugar cookies, gingerbread, candy cane cookies, chocolate shortbread triangles, chocolate marshmallow log and i think that will be it this year....might make some fudge and peanut brittle for the teachers. For breakfast I will make Quiche Lorraine and sticky buns.
Donna what are you making?

Because we are not big fruit cake eaters we have gumdrop cake instead. A basic loaf with baking gumdrops added.
Here is the recipe
1 1/4 cup sugar 2 cup flour 1/2 cup shortening 2/3 cup milk 3 tsp baking powder 1 pkg baking gumdrops(no black) 2 eggs 1 tsp vanilla 1 tsp salt Combine and place in a long greased and floured loaf pan Bake at 350 till done
Sharon could you share the recipe for fudge nuggets and Mexican wedding cookies!
Hugs debbie
