christmas lovin'






T'is that time of year again. I love Christmas. But who doesn't? Food, family & friends. I don't even care about presents that much. Every year I look forward to my family Christmas, get together. All the women in my family, my aunts, my mum and my grandma are all amazing cooks, and they all come together to cook up an awesome Christmas feast. 

I especially get excited because I have an excuse to bake, and my family, who aren't too fond eating sweets, usually let go a bit since it's Christmas. For the past few years it's been my tradition to bake profiteroles every year ( I'll post a recipe up for this later!) and usually experiment with something new. Last year I tried Viennese cookies and this year I thought I'd try gingerbread cookies. 

I made two variations, a gingerbread christmas tree and jam filled ones.

(Recipe will be up soon)
