Baking...Cooking....Recipes

As I was not working this holiday season,  I have had time to bake, cook and locate random recipes.  This didn't seem like such a big deal until I started making the list.  The list is really quite long.  Making the list even longer are a bunch of recipes that contain half and half.  Because of an Activity Days project I had 3 quarts of half and half that I didn't want to waste so I went on the hunt for recipes.  Thanks to those who sent ideas via Facebook.  I am going to compile the list mostly for posterity sake and so that next year I can either avoid this, or top it.  I can't decide which right now.  And here it is in no particular order:
  • 4 batches of Grandma's rolls (2 regular, 2 orange)
  • 1 9 X 13 pan of cranberries
  • 1 cheese ball (really good!)
  • 1 Chinese Salad
  • 2 batches of Alfredo sauce
  • 2 pots of tomato soup
  • 1 CrockPot of rice pudding
  • 1 breakfast pizza
  • 2 recipes of gingerbread cookies (one crashed and burned and one worked)
  • 8 recipes worth of Royal Icing. 
  • Afton Brown French toast (has half and half, honey and some other delicious stuff in it)
  • 2 German pancakes
  • Baked potato topper
This list is as complete as I can get it.  It's even more awful than I thought.  I can actually feel my pants getting tighter as I relive it.  All of it was so good though!

These are my gingerbread men dipped in chocolate. I burned the first bit of chocolate and then the second worked.  I stole this idea from my friend Ainsley. Stole it....thanks Ainsley!

Those look yummy. I should have come to your house for Christmas. I've developed a new appreciation for food since eating for two (especially when the morning sickness died down a little).
