Today’s Christmas Project Experiment (in advance of Christmas morning, in case it turned out to be a complete disaster) was this Spiced Cinnamon Cardamom Swirl Wreath…. essentially a whole lot of little cinnamon buns arranged ad then baked together in a wreath. You can pull it apart, taking a little or big swirl as you please. It’s absolutely delicious and came out pretty much as I expected (there is always that moment when you put it into the oven and the baking puts it out of your control, and you wonder if it will stay as pretty as it un-baked, but it did end up quite nice). Yay for experiments gone right!

I saw a photo of Clementine Jam the other day and just had to make it — and tis the season as all sorts of mandarins and other citrus fruit are in season — check out the color! It is simply fantastic and likely the brightest colored jam that I have ever seen. And it tastes good too. It is a little bitter, but that can often be the case with citrus jams and preserves, but it will be spectacular on toast. Oooooh, or on pancakes. Yummy and seasonal.
Breakfast this morning: Sweet Potato, Apple and Sausage Hash, with Fried Eggs! Really easy, really yummy, really filling. And even though it was my delicious breakfast this morning, the hash (minus the fried eggs) would also make a really good side-dish for Thanksgiving. Double duty, or something. 🙂
Breakfast on the go with these *handy* Gravenstein Apple Turnovers. OK, they don’t have to be Gravenstein Apples, any baking apple will do, but I went apple pickin’ recently and picked this type. Convenient breakfast if you’re headed out of the house (not that I personally do that much these days, but you know… if real life were actually real life these days). Very easy and straight forward as it uses store-bought puff pastry.
