Christmas baking???

Okay - It's that time of year. I usually bake up some goodies to send to the office with DH and to DS's teachers (cookies, candy, fudge, etc.). This year, I want to make goodies that will help everyone be SB friendly -- even if they aren't following the plan. :) So, I was looking for some ideas. It doesn't have to be sweets, just homemade.

Thanks!!

Hi,


How about something like the "Spicy Almond" recipe I just posted in the recipe section.

I made a Cajun Spice Mix up for my brother -- happy to post the recipe if you think that's something that would fit your plans.

Cathy - Thanks for the almond recipe -- it is really what I was looking for. I also made mini loaves of cranberry bread with ww flour and splenda. I will also add some pistacio bark.

Thanks!!

Here ya go:

Cajun Spice Mix

3 Tbl. paprika
2 Tbl. ground red pepper
2 Tbl. dried thyme
2 Tbl. dried oregano
2 Tbl. onion powder
2 Tbl. garlic powder
1 Tbl. kosher salt
1 Tbl. black pepper
1 Tbl. sugar

Combine all ingredients in a small bow. Yield: 1 cup (serving size: 1 tablespoon). Leftovers can be stored in a sealed jar for up to three months.

I think this recipe is from Cooking Light but I ripped it out of a magazine awhile ago so I could be wrong.
