Gingerbread House ~ Blogger's Christmas Series #4
Gingerbread House
Gingerbread houses originated in Germany in the 1600's. They became even more popular after the story of Hansel and Gretel written by the Brothers Grimm. No one knows for sure if gingerbread houses came first or if the story came first.Building a gingerbread house is a tradition in many houses. Although these houses are not always made of gingerbread anymore. You can make them using graham crackers, shredded wheat and even make a house out of non-edible materials like cardboard and sticks.
There are many recipes for gingerbread that you can use, over the years that I have made my own gingerbread I have used a couple of recipes. The recipe that I used to make the above gingerbread houses was this one - as I didn't use molasses in this recipe, the houses were lighter.
My plans for the gingerbread houses that I made this year was to make a small houses that can sit on a side of a cup but I made them too big, and I also didn't cut the door big enough so they wouldn't sit on the side of a cup. So it is back to the drawing board for me... Hopefully next year they will work out the way I wanted them too.
I am not a decorator and I do not profess that I know what I am doing, but I do like to make these houses. I like to use royal icing when I made my gingerbread house as I find it hardens fast. I also do my houses in stages. First "gluing" the pieces together and then doing the decorating.
I made this house above a couple of years ago. I did a post and showed how I decorated it. Do you make gingerbread houses?
This post is the last of Blogger's Christmas Series. Along with myself there are many other awesome bloggers that have written blogs for this series. I hope that they have given you some inspiration to help you with your Christmas preparations.

Walnut Grape Salad
This recipe is awesome as it can be used as a salad or you can use it as a dessert. It is sweet with just the right amount of crunch. It is easy to make... What can be better? especially during the Christmas season when you are so busy.

PIkkupullat ~ Finnish Sweet Buns
Last week my furnace decided to that it needed to take a break. While I was waiting for the repairman to come ~ and as the house got colder and colder I decided to do some baking. Sweet bread making as that way I could keep the oven on for a long period of time. Instead of making my pulla into loaves, I decided to make them into "Pikkupullat" ~ small buns.

Fall Foliage Wreath
Fall is one of my favorite seasons. I love the changing of the colours and living up here in the UP it is magnificent. We all know that even though this season is beautiful, colours only last for a short while and very soon the trees are bare and all those colours are fluttering to the ground. One way to preserve all this beauty is to make a wreath with the flowers and foliage.

Goat Burger
Goat meat is widely consumed in most countries except America. I wonder why is that? Is there a reason that you don't eat goat meat? I do know that for myself I probably would never eat goat if it wasn't for my husband.

I am not a Halloween person but this year I have done a few crafts for this holiday and decided that I wanted to make a drink. I first want to make something with candy corn as that is my favorite Halloween candy but I couldn't figure out how to make the colours to stay layered.

M&M Candy Corn Cookie Bars to #fillthecookiejar
I can't believe that it has been a month ago since I was writing up my post for Fill the Cookie Jar. These months are passing by so quickly. October is one of my favorite months.. I love all the autumn colours and the crispness in the air. It is also the month of Halloween. I am not so much a Halloween person but I love all the Halloween candy that have been floating around. My favorite being Candy Corn.

Fill the Cookie Jar with Healthy Pumpkin Unbakes
Fall makes me think of leaves turning colours, cooler weather (although we haven't had too much warm weather here), pumpkins, apples and bunny hugs. September brings fall and it is also Health awareness month. So why am I talking about fall and health because it is Fill the Cookie Jar time and I am bringing health and fall together.
