Holiday Baking

We're going to take a short jump back in time for this post, so hold on, it shouldn't hurt for too long.

It isn't the holidays without Chocolate Crinkles. So I made some, and then the holidays arrived for everyone. You're welcome.

I was also commissioned to bake two pies: a sweet potato pie for family dinner on Christmas Eve and a pecan pie for Mary's dad as a present.

I used a combination of white and orange sweet potatoes, but will probably go with all orange next time as the pie didn't have that deep orange color that sweet potato pies are normally known for.

This was my first ever sweet potato pie and overall, I thought it was pretty good. It was a little more savory that I would have guessed, but definitely deserving of a spot in the pie rotation.

Unfortunately, my picture of the pecan pie I made was confinscated by the govenment because it was too awesome for its own good. Sorry.

Overall, a fantastic way to round out an exceptional year of baking.
