Grandma Ritchhart’s Gingersnaps

by beachbumwannabe and filed in Cookies, Desserts

Do you remember those gingersnaps that came in the brown bag? They were small and crispy and oh so gingery? I have fond memories of my dad who would always have a bag of those gingersnaps with a large cup of milk that he would share with us kids while sitting in his recliner when I was little! They were so crispy they would tear up the roof of your mouth if you ate too many, but my dad’s trick was to dip them in milk first!

Sausage Crescent Rolls

by Mama Holli of Nobody Puts Mama In A Corner! and filed in Appetizers

This is an all-time favorite at Mama Holli’s house. It is a tradition to serve these on Christmas morning while we open our gifts. These babies also make a wonderful
manly appetizer! The menfolk just love these!

Mama Denise in Texas has been serving these up for years at all of her wonderful parties! The best thing about this recipe is that it can be made ahead and frozen until ready to use!

Petite Vanilla Scones

These wonderful scones are a welcome break from the fruit filled versions. Try them, you will only be disappointed in how many you eat!

Many recipes specify that you do not separate the wedges before baking. I find that the center does not cook through if you choose this method so I separate them.

Honey Chamomile Frozen Custard

by spanishfoodie and filed in Desserts, Ice Cream

It’s during these frigid cold months that I get so excited to enjoy the fruits of my labor. A frozen custard using chamomile I grew in my garden and dried at home topped with canned peaches I preserved last year. This is a special treat that infuses the herbal flavors of chamomile with sweet honey and enriched by using fresh raw cream and farm fresh eggs from my backyard.
