The Great Erie Avenue Bake-off. Top Baker. American's Test Kitchen, With Kittens.
Those are just a few of the working titles for this year's Christmas video, coming at you hot from our very own from scratch kitchen.*
Ray's mom made Christmas cookies each year, though he doesn't remember ever making them with her. His favorite were the 'little itty bitty pecan pies.' His least favorite were the "barely edible candy cane things she hung on the Christmas tree. And they stayed good for like three months.'
I also don't ever remember making Christmas cookies with my mom, but we did make homemade noodles for Thanksgiving and Christmas, which is basically the same deal minus sugar.
Needless to say, look out America's Best Baker! We got a bottle full of sugar sprinkles and some red hots and it's about to come-up Santa Claus in this kitchen!
Merry Christmas everyone!
