Yesterday was our November enrichment meeting and I was in charge of refreshments. Thanks to the Christmas recipe books I compiled last year, I have a plethora of holiday resources. I planned to set up a tasting table of several dishes with copies of the recipes available for the sisters.
I enlisted the help of the other committee members and some other kind sisters and made assignments.
From my Christmas Goodies recipe book we made:
Mint Meltaways
Gingerbread Coffee Cake
Pumpkin Tiramisu
Black Forest Bread Pudding
Almond Fudge Topped Shortbread
Cranberry Crunch Bark
Throw in some Ripken's Gingersnaps and Mini Pumpkin Tarts from Family Fun and we had quite the spread!
I had only made a few of these recipes. I was crossing my fingers that everything would turn out well. I'm happy to report that everything was delicious! The sisters raved about the yummy treats and happily snatched up copies of the recipes.
So, here's a testament to the recipes in your books. I hope you have an occasion to try some soon!
**Sorry I didn't take pictures of my spread. I was running around like a mad person all day and forgot the camera.

Way to go Erin. Sounds like everything went wonderfully.
Did I get one of those books? (Last Christmas is a bit of a blur to me.)
No, you didn't. I gave you guys an Anna calendar instead. But I can email it to you.
So which was the favorite? Better yet, give me your own personal rating scale of 1 being your favorite and seven being your least fav.
Well, I'm a chocolate girl so anything with chocolate is high on my list. But the pumpkin tiramisu was AMAZING! Here's a 1-8:
1 - Black Forest Bread Pudding
2 - Pumpkin Tiramisu
3 - Almond Fudge Topped Shortbread
4 - Ripken's Gingersnaps
5 - Cranberry Crunch Bark
6 - Mint Meltaways
7 - Mini Pumpkin Tarts
8 - Gingerbread Coffee Cake
To be honest, the coffee cake was the only thing I didn't LOVE.
