I'm making them the day before because we are flying, then I will glaze in the morning at my cousin's house </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-on-your-holiday-baking-list#post-2361546 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 13:06:26 +0000 mrs. wagon 2361546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to bake loaves of bread (some kind of thick, heavy loaf like zucchini, fig and date, etc) and make homemade marmalade to give out as gifts. Anyone have any great loaf recipes?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-on-your-holiday-baking-list#post-2361540 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 13:03:30 +0000 gingerbebe 2361540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've made these mini loafs the last few years because people are obsessed with them:</p> <p><a href="http://www.mommyskitchen.net/2008/12/holiday-eggnog-bread-one-of-my-favorite.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.mommyskitchen.net/2008/12/holiday-eggnog-bread-one-of-my-favorite.html</a></p> <p>I make my own glaze - its just powdered sugar thinned with rum until its a thick frosting consistency and I let it harden overnight. It really tastes like a spiked eggnog that way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-on-your-holiday-baking-list#post-2361358 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 11:39:26 +0000 looch 2361358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lamariniere: My mother and my husband, lol.

I also want to make cupcakes with turkeys on top using mini vanilla wafers for faces and candy corn for the feathers. Not sure yet about Christmas baking. Obviously we are all about the easy over here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-on-your-holiday-baking-list#post-2361281 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 11:09:56 +0000 fancyfunction 2361281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lamariniere: Yes, something like these:</p> <p><a href="http://completerecipes.com/Greek-Christmas-Cookies.html?back_url=./" rel="nofollow">http://completerecipes.com/Greek-Christmas-Cookies.html?back_url=./</a></p> <p>A family friend makes really good ones but won't give up her recipe ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-on-your-holiday-baking-list#post-2361072 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 09:29:22 +0000 jlm22 2361072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is my favorite cranberry bread:<br /> <a href="http://www.crunchycreamysweet.com/2013/11/26/cranberry-bread-recipe/" rel="nofollow">http://www.crunchycreamysweet.com/2013/11/26/cranberry-bread-recipe/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-on-your-holiday-baking-list#post-2361070 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 09:28:43 +0000 blackbird 2361070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lamariniere: They are! And EVERYONE gets cookies and goodies and cinnamon rolls are just a nice breakfast thing. And not a lot of people make their own yeast breads nowadays (at least, my friends don't! So they are psyched). HBH is coming out with a cookbook...her stuff is awesome. But her recipes are often FAR more complicated than they need to be. I often pare them down significantly. Try the greek orzo chicken dish. It's one of our faves!</p> <p>@BananaPancakes: you mustttttttttttt </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-on-your-holiday-baking-list#post-2361066 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 09:27:40 +0000 BananaPancakes 2361066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: I don't bake, like ever, so I haven't made anything from there yet. But I have pinned practically everything. I just need someone to bake it all for me. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-on-your-holiday-baking-list#post-2361045 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 09:20:16 +0000 lamariniere 2361045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: I made cinnamon rolls this past weekend and they are always such a crowd pleaser! I think I'm going to make more this weekend. :grin: Also, I never heard of HBH until @BananaPancakes: just linked to it.

There. I said it. Delicious. Work. Caramels are also amazing. BUT SO MUCH WORK. </p> <p>This year, I'm making dulce de leche nutella cookies FOR SURE. Also cinnamon rolls for ALL THE PEOPLE. My mom's</p> <p>@BananaPancakes: everything from HBH is AMAZING.

I think I'm going to do the creamy grape salad. it's always a hit. </p> <p>For Christmas baking I think I'm stealing @Blackbird idea of doing cinnamon rolls instead of a cookie tin like I've done the past few years! Who doesn't love yummy gooey cinnamon rolls :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-on-your-holiday-baking-list#post-2360956 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 08:50:50 +0000 lamariniere 2360956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: definitely pretty on a dessert table!</p> <p>@BananaPancakes: I'm normally not a huge nut fan, but that combination sounds delicious!</p> <p>@yin: good job finding allergy friendly recipes!

Who makes the cookies then, your DH?</p> <p>@fancyfunction: Greek cookies?</p> <p>@DesertDreams88: never heard of those, they sound delicious!</p> <p>@Greentea: do you have a link to the maple fudge?

I also want to do simple sugar sprinkle cookies and a pistachio white chocolate cookie I saw on Pinterest. Maybe some mocha frosted brownies too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-on-your-holiday-baking-list#post-2360873 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 08:03:56 +0000 Smurfette 2360873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always make white trash mix. I think this year I am going to make peppermint bark and give that out to people to mix it up. I got a cookie press like 4 Christmas's ago and haven't used it yet, so I am going to break it out this year. I think LO will like to help make them and decorate with sprinkles. Chocolate covered pretzels too, if I have time and energy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-on-your-holiday-baking-list#post-2360867 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 07:57:54 +0000 yin 2360867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pumpkin pie, apple pie, thumbprint cookies and chocolate chip cookies.
