No Knead Bread: Take Two

After my first foray into the Mark Bittman No Knead Bread, I decided a couple of days ago to try it again now that the holidays are over and I had more time to concentrate on it.  The results were the same. I still like it. It turns out a decent little loaf of bread, although this won't be my go-to every day recipe.

Fudge and Fruit Bread: Another look at Christmas Desserts

I've already told you about the cream cheese cookie press cookies and the cranberry bread on the dessert table that was such a hit this year but one of the biggest surprise hits was the fudge.  Our family tradition is all about the peanut butter fudge. No one in my family even gives a flying flip about chocolate fudge, weird as that makes us, just peanut butter.  However, I was feeling a little lonely for MY favorite flavor and decided to make a go at it:  white chocolate maple.  Yum.

Thought I'd share a couple more pics from Christmas:
