A Chrimbly Friday 👩‍🍳

Here's some more Friday photo fun from Katie @I live, I love, I craft, I am me... and this week's word is... 


Baking - festive or otherwise and maybe share the recipe so we can all have a taste.
I much prefer baking over cooking, and I try to limit it to special occasions. But how nice that a big one is coming up! 🎅
Cookies are always a hit, and so are cheesecakes. My Dad makes lovely mince pies, but I haven't tackled that one yet, probably because I'd be the only one eating them around here!
Although my favourite cake to have during this time of year is definitely Cranberry Christmas Cake.


And it's even better when paired with cranberry coffee.

I can't remember where or how I found the recipe, but it's here @Barefeet in the Kitchen. Simple ingredients and super easy. I've only ever used fresh cranberries so I'm not sure how well frozen ones would work.



Stitched cookies are nice too, they last a really long time!


I'm looking forward to seeing what others have posted and hopefully try something new!

    That looks so yummy. I'm starting to think about our Christmas baking/cooking and getting a shopping list done. It's very different this year with us having online deliveries instead of going to the shops.

    The cranberry Christmas cake looks lovely and certainly different from 'normal Christmas cake - I'm sure it tastes as good as it looks :)

    I am going to give your cake a try. However, I should probably stick to the stitched kind!

    Ooh that does look good :)
    Probably does have more calories that the stitched cookie though HAHA

    Yum - I'd be all over that cranberry cake!!! I love cranberries in any form. Looks like your Elf is eyeing those beautiful stitched cookies and I rather doubt there will be anything but crumbs left for Santa.

    Addendum to my original comment - cranberries have been purchased and cake has been made and taste-tested and that recipe is most definitely a keeper!!! Thank you!
