Holiday Baking & Cooking
December 28, 2011My friend Karis and I’ve been baking together every holiday season for past 4 years. Partially because we enjoy baking together and also to give away the treats as holiday gifts to our friends and to shelters near by us.
This year, we baked lemon bars, chocolate snowball cookies, rugelach, zucchini bread, apple cakes, chocolate chip cookies, matcha cookies and cupcakes.
For our Christmas Potluck at our friends house, I made Balsamic glazed Pork Shoulder, Kale and Persimmon Salad and Cauliflower pancakes with cranberry sauce.
Hope everyone had a nice Christmas!
