Hello, Dear Ones! I wanted to share a little festive cheer with you today.
Well, I must tell you that I got the recipe from my sweet friend Julie at The Hawards.
Thank you Julie and here is her recipe.
They see no evil, hear no evil nor speak no evil.
I didn't decorate them! Shame on me.
But being blind, deaf and dumb does not in the least hinder their
most deliciousness! No ma'am.
They are so good!
Have you ever seen a cuter cup in your life?
It looks like it was made for me, doesn't it?
My most darling sweet friend Beverly at How Sweet the Sound
sent me two of these precious cups.
Thank you so much Beverly!!
Why, Wassail, of course!
Tis the season to drink Wassail!
Oh, I wanted you to know I feel like my sweet friend BJ at Sweet Nothings.
She ends most of her posts with food and makes me so hungry!
This little cuteness of tree is sitting very high upon my fridge.
Now do you see that cute little gingerbread family garland?
I won that in a giveaway from our very own Traci at
Beneath My Heart few years ago.
I just love it.
Bows on the gal's heads and bow ties at the neck of the guys.
The little gingerbread peeps are made of a foaming material.
On the right hand side.
I can fix that ~ here's a cup of Wassail.
Yep, that's a Rooster runner on the top of my fridge.
Just can't leave the yard birds alone.
but I'm telling you the truth, this is very very delicious!
I've been making it for very many years at Christmas time
and would like to share my recipe with you.

I haven't made our gingerbread people yet - saving that activity for when the grandkids are out of school next week. Seeing yours makes me anxious to smell that great aroma as they come out of the oven. Enjoy this next week - it is a glorious time. Sally
ReplyDeleteWell I guess being Canadian and all I had NO idea what wassail was, still will have to google that one. Must be SOUTHERN : )

ReplyDeleteHi Shelia, Your little gingerbread people are adorable! I'm glad to see that the ones with faces are made of foam! How could you bite off their little heads? I just got a silicone pan to make miniature gingerbread man cakes. If they come out yummy I'll share their little pictures! Linda
