I started the day by baking the English Toffee Squares. A few family members like nuts on them and the rest prefer them without. I am in the without group. Look! I took the picture before I started eating them.
Late in the afternoon I baked the shortbread cookies, a favorite with the grandchildren.
Now it is time to start making the Chex Mix.
Four corners are done but I have about 30" more to hand stitch. I had 3 sessions of hand stitching between baking and vacuuming.
They are predicting light snow twice this week but no white Christmas.

That toffee ... ! I'm in the nuts family.
Your goodies look wonderful. I would just sit at your table and sample!
I am buying a new fancy candy thermometer for my husband for Christmas. The first thing we will make is fudge, then I want to make him some toffee. The one I made last year was delicious, but I spread it too thin, and it was just slightly chewy, so I need to tweak my recipe.
Your candy looks super--you've been so busy baking...me, not so much!! I hope to make my fudge this weekend...today will be picking up last minute items..
31 this morning here and sunny...hugs, Julierose...
Xmas season takes away from sewing time but it makes a nice break to do something different
Toffee squares were among the treats at the holiday gathering I attended yesterday. (So was Chex Mix.) I indulged.
Your trays of cookies are SO pretty and I know the food tastes great. We don't bake loads of cookies for Christmas but DH has a few that we use regularly and they are delicious. re your comment about 2025 being right around the corner, my count down to Christmas Nutcracker is in the single digits which seems impossible since I just put him out!
In my part of the country, me make tamales for the Christmas season. I made 6 dozen yesterday. It is an all day job. My hubby will get 2 dozen. Friends will deve up 2 dozen. And the other 2 dozen will be for the day after Christmas get together with the grandkids and greats.
Another DELICIOUS post again today Wanda ❣️ You certainly are making and baking a wonderful Christmas for your family. Plus squeezing in some hand stitching time, on finishing off the binding.
Yum! Had Scottie perfected the Transporter, I'd be right over!
Well done on being so close to finished on the quilt binding, too. Is this going to be a Christmas gift for some lucky someone?
It's to be 63*F today, 49*F tomorrow, and 35*F on Sunday with really cold nights, but a white Christmas for us is unlikely. Shucks!
Hugs!
Your baking all looks delicious! -Roxanne
Yum to the toffee, Yum to the shortbread cookies, Yum to Chex mix! I haven't baked a thing yet.
It all looks delicious, especially the toffee!! I would go for nuts just as well as no nuts. I think there should be a law that if you live in a “snow zone” then all Christmases must be white! I can remember living in North Dakota and one year there was no snow. It just wasn’t right! But the best snow of all was in South Carolina 1989, right after Hurricane Hugo. We still had mountains of debris everywhere. We woke up Christmas morning to white snow everywhere, hiding the debris. That snow was a gift!
