Glad to see the sweet Chex mix post, but I want to vote for traditional Chex party mix! I add an extra tablespoon of worchestershire sauce, 7 tablespoons of butter, Snyder's Homestyle pretzels broken up instead of bagle chips, and extra nuts. The Archer Farms deluxe raw nut mix is nice. Finally the time saver is use a giant steel mixing bowl and just push the mix up the side to spread it out and do the regular 15 min x 4 intervals. Retro crunchy goodness!<br /><br />Kathy<br />bloomington<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-9104466226878204852014-12-24T02:35:41.779-05:002014-12-24T02:35:41.779-05:00I love a good cheese plate -- and it must have Cot...I love a good cheese plate -- and it must have Cotswold!

I don't really have an easy to make holiday snack as I somehow end up going with time consuming recipes, and I usually make cookies for the holidays to give as gifts. I'll make several batches of dough over the course of a week or so whenever I have free time and freeze them until I'm ready to bake. Also, parchment paper is your friend! Thank you for hosting the draw!

Thanks for hosting the Advent calendar today.<br /><br />Everyone has a lot of good ideas for sweet treats, but my favorite holiday shortcut is my stash of homemade pesto, made with basil from my garden, olive oil, Parmesan and Romano cheeses, lots of garlic, and pine nuts. I can make a special pasta for guests, use it to garnish a soup, or spread it on warmed flat bread for an appetizer everyone likes. I make a lot of it in the summer so I can enjoy it during the darkest days of winter.Florahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00510346346502906435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-25595775192499469422014-12-23T22:20:34.997-05:002014-12-23T22:20:34.997-05:00My favorite easy-to-prepare holiday snack is a che...My favorite easy-to-prepare holiday snack is a cheese tray from the store.

Roast pork, baklava are some of the things I would do if I don't have to work. But living in the US and celebrating a little bit of this Christmas too, probably some ham, potatoes and cookies for tomorrow. Luckily we are invited for Christmas lunch on the 25th at my friends' home and he is a hunter and she is incredible cook.Margarita Knoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-91740296608652384832014-12-23T21:20:21.952-05:002014-12-23T21:20:21.952-05:00I love warm eggnog with a splash of rum.
