If You Have No Chance For Snow For Christmas....

If I was still able to bake like I used to, I would definitely make Roly-Poly, the Coconut Snowman Cake. What a beautiful centerpiece on a Christmas buffet table, or even dinner table.

Below is a recipe for a Snowflake Pie!

Crazy for Cranberry!

Cranberry sauce is a Thanksgiving staple, no doubt. However, I like it periodically through out the year with my breakfast or for dinner when I have chicken or pork. There is more to cranberry sauce than opening both ends of the can, watching it slide out of the can and then cutting it up. I do prefer the jellied as opposed to the whole berry sauce.

Recipe below:

I have made the cranberry sauce cut-outs using a turkey cookie cutter. I didn't make eyes or any other embellishments, however. Regardless, it was different and made for an interesting display.   

Have fun with the holiday staple and enjoy! Have a blessed Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving's Traditional Tastes: Pumpkin & Sweet Potato

Well, it's been a while. I haven't given up on sharing old recipes as I find and then scan them. With Thanksgiving a couple weeks away I figured I better share with ya'll some vintage holiday recipes. tkp
I discovered a few more and thought I'd add them. Enjoy!

Carnation:

 Below came from an ad for Dream Whip:

I love the above suggestion to put GOBS of Dream Whip on the Pumpkin Tarts! As if any suggestion was needed.

Jell-O:

 Yeah, I know technically a Sweet Potato & Yam are not the same things, but who cares as long as it tastes good!

By far my favorite Pumpkin pie is Jell-O's 'Double Layer Pumpkin Pie' that I discovered many years ago in a magazine. You can go to http://www.kraftfoods.com/ and search it out. I think it posted there.
