What did you bake today ? OK if not from scratch

gingerbread men baked today. Will be decorating tomorrow.
I don't like my cutter. I forgot it was just a regular male, not a gingerbread man :(
Just ordered a new one.

All my cookies are for the family. For Christmas Eve and Day and then the rest will go home with them. None for friends or neighbors.
 
Zucchini Pie
Sweet or savory?

My MIL once subbed zucchini for apples in an "apple" pie because that's what she had on hand. Since she wasn't using apples, she added extra clove (why, I have no idea). I don't think she put in extra sugar or anything, though. It was probably the worst pie I've ever tasted. Bless her heart, she was sweet, but so not a great cook!

Definitely not sweet.

Bisquick, eggs, mozzarella cheese, grated cheese, eggs, oil and of course zucchini - appetizer/great for brunch/side dish :)
 
Whew! I did it all in one shot today. Decent variety but very small quantities because very little of it actually gets eaten with so many other seasonal delicacies on offer. I've often wondered why I even do it, but it just wouldn't be proper Christmas without it, would it?

Butter tarts, Nanaimo bars, soft(ish) ginger cookies, brown sugar cookies cut into stars and decorated with rum glaze and blue and gold sugar, raspberry and apricot jam thumbprints (my favorite!!) and whipped shortbread piped into roses. I've got a loaf of @CdnCarrie 's eggnog bread in the oven (can't wait to try it!!) and when DS gets home we'll make fudge, which he gifts to his friends. :goodvibes Very satisfying. :santa:
