Gingerbread Rocking Horse

This year, consider opting for a whimsical rocking horse rather than a traditional gingerbread house. It's a full afternoon's activity and children will delight in decorating it. Leave it on display throughout the holidays. Build the horse on a foil-lined inverted jelly roll pan or large cake board. Use the extra dough to make cookies, or freeze it for up to one month. 

Easy Flaky Pastry

Gluten-Free Sandwich Bread

This easy no-knead bread has great texture and a simple, pleasing flavour. Enjoy slices warm with butter or transform them into a grilled cheese, a hearty sandwich or French toast. The best part: The loaves freeze beautifully, so make extra to enjoy later.

Sour Cream Pastry

Chocolate Macaroons

Everyone has a recipe for these. I like mine the best.

Caesar Salad Mix

Wrap this mix, a bag of croutons, a tube of anchovy paste and instructions, and you've got an imperial gift.

Homemade Lasagne

Do You Enjoy a Hearty Lasagne but also want something easy to prepare? I have served this several times to friends and family, and my friends enjoyed it so much, even the husbands were asking for the recipe! Also, any leftovers freeze well for a warm, filling, easy meal on a cold day.

Gingerbread Ski Chalet

There is enough dough to complete this A-frame chalet and make about twenty 3-inch (8 cm) cookies. Or use the remaining dough to decorate the chalet with stepping stones, skis – and whatever else belongs in your winter wonderland.

Fir Oil

Stocking Cookies

White sprinkles give these stockings a fluffy-trim effect, but feel free to customize them instead: Simply tint some of the icing black and use it to write names on the white icing.
