[Gerry]

Thank you for the awesome banner Tink, thanking Galley for helping to get it in place! We are all set for the holidays - come on in and share your favourite holiday pot luck recipes.

If anyone is planning a morning get together over the holidays you may want to make up a batch or two of Galley's pancakes http://www.recipezazz.com/recipe/pancakes-two and http://www.recipezazz.com/recipe/cinnam ... nkey-bread. My morning crowd loved them!

Need to get to the final planning of the holiday meals for the coming week, to both motivate and add to the holiday spirit the first thing I am making this morning is my simmer posts. Made with natural ingredients the gentle aroma wafts through the house with it's enticing holiday fragrance making for that warm and wonderful feeling of Christmas. http://www.recipezazz.com/recipe/potpourri-simmer-pot

Then on to making this delicious bundle for tommorow's gathering - a wonderful make ahead and one that travels well. Thinking to it a parcel makes for easy and one that always impresses. One of my favourites during the holiday season. http://www.recipezazz.com/recipe/veal-o ... on-de-veal

I'm sure we are all looking to add something new to the many family and community pot lucks that are on over the holidays, stop in and share your favourite recipes with us.

This afternoon making http://www.recipezazz.com/recipe/sweet- ... -meatballs - a must make for tomorrow's gathering.

For those of you baking your holiday pastries and breads for your potluck parties you may want to make copies of baking guide and glazes. Keeping them close at hand is a real time saver when needing to make a quick check for the baking times and special glazes.

Christmas day I'm baking KItten's http://www.recipezazz.com/recipe/chocolate-pecan-pie . . well a version of it. Thinking of using Kahlua in place of the coffee crystals and water.

Was going to make twice baked sweet potatoes, but decided on Honey Roasted Sweet Potatoes http://www.recipezazz.com/node/15039

Still pulling together the rest of the menu . . . better get in gear only two more days!

Haven't had time to do much gleaning this week, then coming in to find two new recipes for over the holidays makes my day! http://www.recipezazz.com/recipe/oreo-truffles printed. Will be perfect to add along with my Chocolate Clusters for the Christmas Eve holiday tray. Sure to make for extra hugs!

Plan to pick up sweet potatoes - have to make your Honey Roasted Sweet Potatoes over the holidays.
