Kitchen Time

Martha made an appearance and she brought help. Christmas Eve was spent in the kitchen. It was a long day. Dishes were washed, dried and washed again. I made a batch of ginger bread cookies that had to sit in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. I mixed up a batch of orange-cranberry bread after chopping up walnuts and cranberries. While the bread baked, I mixed up a batch of sugar cookies. The kids cut those into shapes and placed them on the cookie sheets.





Into the oven for 8 minutes then removed to cool. Once the sugar cookies were made, we rolled out the gingerbread cookies. I made white frosting and we filled decorator bags.




As they decorated and worked together, I made a broccoli salad and dough for dinner rolls. I washed and dried and washed again.




It was a busy but very productive day in the kitchen. Special cookies were made just for Santa and the rest were to be enjoyed by our friends and family.



I made it, last minute made it, but we have cookies for Christmas.
