Food-ish Thoughts for the New Year

December 26, 2012 by still a dreamer

I am not really one for New Year’s resolutions, but Christmas baking has me thinking of more than one thing I’d like to commit to in the upcoming year. For one, I really would like to cook and/or bake on a more regular basis. I love good, home-cooked food or from-scratch breads, cookies or desserts.

CheddarBiscuits2

Take one of the items I baked for Christmas – quite simple – old-fashioned baking powder biscuits. With the addition of a good quality, extra-sharp cheddar, they became even better. This was not a major investment in time, and just reminded me that simple or more complex dishes of all kinds are not always that time-consuming. Good food is a gift we can give ourselves, (and others.) Why not make/find a little more time? Seems like something worth giving a try …

p.s. As I was lightly kneading the dough I started wondering what I’d use to cut the biscuits, and then remembered what I had … the biscuit cutter my Mom used to use when I was growing up. Perfect!

    LOVE that biscuit cutter! A real prize. You should see mine with broken off handle. Cobbler’s children you know…

      It IS a prize, isn’t it? Someday I’m going to make butter cookies and use my Mom’s original cookie press, also from my childhood. (all now known as “antiques” LOL)
