A flurry of baking took place today....






This morning, while the snow fell gently outside, my little girl and I baked gingerbread men.  And then we tried our hand at homemade marshmallows....sticky, sweet, ooey gooey goodness!!    


Coconut macaroons and salted caramels.... 
A pomander (orange & cloves) sits in our window sill...
In the oven, apple spice ornaments are baking and the smell fills the house.  
Oh my!!  Glorious!!
  
Tomorrow we'll make spritz cookies and sugar cookie cut outs....
And snow angels and paper snowflakes....
We'll make hot cocoa and savor those marshmallows...


I'm loving this Christmas season.....

  1. I've wanted to try marshmallows from scratch since I saw Alton (swoon!) do them. I bow to you!
