I think that I was in the kitchen for the entire month of November, but it was fun to create some new holiday dishes. I know that December is going to bring even more cooking, baking, and candy making my way, and I can’t wait to get started. Here are a few of my November dishes.

I love to make Cream Cheese Wedding mints. I made a batch for Agnes’s 1st birthday party. I’m making a big batch for our Christmas get together too. Time to visit a cool shop and invest in some Christmas candy-molds.

I made a few Pumpkin Pies during November. Dylan and James love them. I also whip up some heavy cream to top off the pies, it is just too good.

Cooler temps mean I can run the oven all day long. I made some Banana Muffins for MOPS,

and some Cranberry Orange Oatmeal muffins for a road trip to K.C.

We took Cookies to a few friends at Thanksgiving.

I made a big batch of Coconut Macaroons for my hubby James (they are his very favorite cookie)

I tested a new batch of cookies at Thanksgiving this year too. These are Cranberry-White Chocolate-Almond cookies, the family approved of these tasty treats.
