[DanielleNDerek]

Finally found the recipe I wanted to add. My family makes this for almost every holiday. It's great served with ham but also great by itself. Some even eat it cold with whipped topping.

I know that this is an old thread but given the time of year I think its time to revive it!!

 

I'm a huge fan of baking and this Christmas I have decided that I'm going to make some different baked goods to give to our families and friends. I'm no Martha but I try.

 

Anyway, here is one that I tried out last night and I think this is going to be the winner (for the mini loafs).

 

EGGNOG QUICK BREAD

 

1) Preheat over to 350 degrees and grease 1 loaf pan

 

2) Beat together 2 eggs in a large mixing bowl

 

3) Add the following ingredients and blend well

- 1/2 cup white sugar

- 1/2 cup brown sugar

- 1 cup egg nog (not light)

- 1/2 cup melted margarine

- 2 teaspoons rum extract

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extrat

 

4) Add the following to mixture and stir until moist

- 2 1/4 cup flour

- 2 teaspoons baking powder

- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

 

5) Pour better into greased loaf pan.

 

6) In a small prep bowl mix together 2 tablespoons white sugar and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg. Spinkle on top of mixture

 

7) Bake loaf for 45-50 min or until toothpick comes out clean.

 

Let sit for 10 min on a cooling rack before trying to cut.

 

9) The best part...EAT and ENJOY!!

This is a super easy cider but sooooooo good.

 

In a pan combine 2 cups apple juice and 2 cups cranberry juice as well as 2 cinnamon sticks. Simmer until hot.

baked crab wontons

 

1 box dry vegetable soup mix (I use Knorr brand)

1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese

8 ounces crabmeat, imitation crabmeat or 2 cans drained and flaked

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

Worcestershire sauce to taste

Hot pepper sauce to taste

40 wonton wrappers

1 tablespoon vegetable oil or non-stick cooking spray

 

Directions

Spray a rimmed baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.

In bowl, combine soup mix, ricotta, crab, garlic powder and pepper. Mix well.

(I chill this for about an hour at this point to let the soup mix rehydrate)

Place 1 tablespoon ricotta mixture in center of each wonton.

Brush edges with water.

Fold each corner to center and press firmly to seal.

Arrange, seam side down, on baking sheet.

Brush with oil or spray with non-stick cooking spray.

Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes, turning once, or until crisp and golden brown.

Serve with duck sauce or hot mustard if desired.
