Snickerdoodles plus 1 more |
| Posted: 01 Dec 2011 04:56 PM PST  December is here and that means that the holiday baking season is now upon us! I wanted to ease into the baking and since I was craving something with cinnamon, snickerdoodles seemed like the perfect thing to start with. Snickerdoodles are a cookie that is rolled in a mixture of sugar and cinnamon before baking and they are so addictively good! One of the things that is so amazing about snickerdooles is how easier they are to make; I mean really, all that needs to be done is mix the wet ingredients, mix the dry ingredients, mix them together, roll, coat and bake. All said and done you will be passing those tasty little treats back an forth between your hands, blowing on them to cool, in less than 20 minutes!

| Posted: 01 Dec 2011 04:20 AM PST  Sweet potato casserole is another classic Thanksgiving side dish that I find difficult to resist. When I first encountered the sweet potato casserole a few years ago it sounded a lot more like a dessert to me but now I am perfectly happy serving it as a side dish. In addition to tasting great, the sweet potato casserole is nice and easy to make, however it does require a bit of time as you need to make the mashed sweet potatoes followed by baking the casserole itself. If you have the time you can roast the sweet potatoes and mash them a day ahead but if you are making them on the big day, it might be easier to boil them to save in oven space which is always at a premium. Once the mashed sweet potatoes are ready, you simply need to mix in a few things, top with the pecan crumble topping and bake it until golden brown on top. I always like to use a bit of maple syrup in my sweet potato casserole but you can add other things like a shot of bourbon to keep things interesting. The crumble topping is another place that I like to experiment with and changing up the nuts or adding things like rolled oats is always fun. You really just can't go wrong serving this side dish with your Thanksgiving dinner.
