Vintage Christmas Monday - Oldies that are GOODIES

CHRISTMAS GOODIES

That's what's I'm
talking about!

And
VINTAGE GOODIES
are not
OLD FRUITCAKE!

Do you have any
vintage recipes
or traditional foods
that you
MUST
make for Christmas?

Amaretto Truffles
would be a good tradition.

These are from
Sweet Paul
his blog is here.

These cinnamon buns
are Sweet Paul's too.

I love his blog
and have read it for
a couple of years.

Do you make cinnamon buns for Christmas Morning?

It's a GREAT tradition!

(If no time for scratch ...
the frozen Rhodes' are super!)

How about this yummy dish!

Doesn't Mari take wonderful pictures?

If you are not familiar with her work
from other sites
go to her own blog
An Angel at My Table

Mmmmm!

I want to wipe up
the extra glaze
with my finger ...
just a taste!

Text is in Swedish ....

but the language of
food, photos and children
is universal!

And besides,
google translate is
ALWAYS
good for a laugh!

Shortbread?
It's one of my son's
two favorite holiday sweets.

Don't cook or have
food traditions?

There are always
non-edible holiday goodies ...
like amaryllis!


OK!


Now it's time for me to

confess.

It's true I love to cook ...

but what I love
most
in the photos

are

the

VINTAGE
COOLING RACKS!

The shortbread pic is from
Country Home
Holidays at Home
magazine from
1997

It is still
my favorite
after all these years.

And my holiday baking
would look FAB on it,
don't you think??

Tomorrow?

Not baking.

I will make
homemade mayonnaise
for my dad.

His special request for
Christmas.

I won't use the vintage
Wesson Oil gadget ...

but will put in lots of
Holiday Love!

Hugs and hope your Christmas is surrounded by Holiday Goodies and lots of love!
SAMMY GIRL :)

  7. Those amaretto truffles look scrumptious! But give me some good old fruitcake and I'm happy! I must admit that my mother and myself are the only two people that I know that like it. If loving fruitcake is wrong, I don't wanna be right!
    Merry Christmas and Happy VCM!

  10. Here I was busy looking at the food and you were looking at the vintage cooling racks. It's all in the eye of the beholder. I had to go back and look again, very nice vintage cooling racks indeed.
