Look this is the place I just left, My crunch cake is on their easter menu, I know, i’ll keep, looking
nWas it really sugar, or may be the fire extinguisher! 
looks delicious 
My personal favorite recipe is Christmas Scones,
Ingredients are as below:
2 cups All-Purpose Flour
1 cup quick-cooking (not instant) oats
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 cup brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup diced pecans
1 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cut into pats
3/4 cup buttermilk, sour cream, or plain (not Greek-style) yogurt
sparkling white sugar for topping
Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a baking sheet, or line it with parchment.
Mix the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Add the butter, working it in to make an unevenly crumbly mixture,mix fruits / nuts, stir well with buttermilk.
Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface and cut it into two pieces. (Keep sprinkling on flour if you need to.) Form each into a disk, and gently pat each disk into a round about 6" in diameter.
Transfer the disks to the prepared baking sheet, and sprinkle them with sparkling sugar, if desired, pressing it in firmly.
With a bench scraper or sharp knife, cut the round into 8 wedges. Do this by cutting straight down through the dough so you shear the edges. If you saw the dough, you tend to press the edges together, which keeps the scones from rising as they bake. Separate the scones slightly; there should be about 1" between them at the outside edge.
Bake the scones for 20 minutes, or until they’re just beginning to brown. A toothpick inserted into the center of one should come out clean, or perhaps with a few moist crumbs clinging to it.
Remove the scones from the oven, and serve them warm. To serve later, reheat for 10 minutes, lightly tented with foil, in a preheated 350°F oven.
Store any leftovers at room temperature, well wrapped, for several days. Freeze for longer storage.
Happy cooking and Happy Holidays!
What’s the quickest cake in the world?
Scone…
So I’ve decided on my fav recipe.
Ingredients required:
Several slices of turkey
Couple of slices (spoonfuls) of stuffing
2 rounds of bread
Little bit of Butter
Spoonful (or 3) of Cranberry sauce
Spoonful of mayo
Sprinkle of salt (optional)
Method:
Butter the 2 slices of bread evenly to the edges,
Spread mayo sparingly across both slices,
Place a few slices of turkey on each slice,
*you may at this stage decide to season with a sprinkle of salt,
Place some cranberry sauce and spread across the turkey slices,
On one slice place some stuffing on top of the cranberry sauce,
*now comes the technical aspect
Pick up each slice and hold in the palm of your hands,
Take and quick breath and in one swift movement combine both halves together,
Place on a plate and using a knife cut in half,
*several cutting patterns are available but I recommend diagonally in half,
You may wish to make a nice cup of tea before enjoying your meal, so that you can relax with your feet up and enjoy the most festive CHRISTMAS SANDWICH 
You can however change the order depending on personal preference, or alternatively add some greenery for extra flavour.

@fhassm That right there is a “Rosca de Reyes” (Ring of Kings) in Mexico. To this day, inside the bread, it has plastic babies (baby Jesus) and whomever gets the baby they have to set up and pay for a party on “Dia de los Reyes Magos” (Three Kings Day). Awesome tradition!
lol. Yeah there are so man recipes here! Right when I’m trying to lose some weight oh well.
It’s not really a “holiday” recipe, but the only time I have Magic Bars is during Christmas. Mom makes it (with a ton of a walnuts) and one of her friends makes it (without walnuts) & brings us a try of baked goodies. She also makes rice krispie treats just for me for Christmas, but I’m not counting those because I can buy them whenever the mood strikes.
Anyway, here is the recipe for Magic Bars.
Ingredients
1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 (14 ounce) can Sweetened Condensed Milk
2 cups semisweet chocolate morsels
1 1/3 cups flaked coconut
1 cup chopped nuts
Directions
Heat oven to 350 degrees F (325 degrees for glass dish). Coat 13x9-inch baking pan with no-stick cooking spray.
Combine graham cracker crumbs and butter. Press into bottom of prepared pan. Pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over crumb mixture. Layer evenly with chocolate chips, coconut and nuts. Press down firmly with a fork.
Bake 25 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool. Cut into bars or diamonds. Store covered at room temperature.

Bring water and salt to a boil in a small saucepan; cook onions in the boiling water until just tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup water in saucepan, and return onions to pan. Add butter to onions.
Mix milk and quick-mixing flour together in a bowl; add to onion mixture. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until thickened, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in more quick-mixing flour if mixture is too thin.
Hey I’m saving all the recipes, whether I’m trying to lose weight or not all of them look delicious and is worth trying at some point in time. So I to the cookbook they go, to be made at a later date and time

Bruleed Lemon Tart
Crust
8 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups flour
1/2 cup almond flour
Filling
Zest of 3 lemons
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/2 cup lemon juice
3 large eggs
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
To make the crust, beat together the butter and powdered sugar. Add the egg, vanilla, and salt and continue mixing until uniform, scraping down the sides as needed. Add the flours, mixing until the dough comes together and begins to gather in the bowl. Press dough into an 10-inch ungreased tart pan evenly on the bottom and sides. Poke a fork into the bottom to release air while baking. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
To make the lemon filling, combine the lemon zest and 1 cup sugar in a saucepan. Whisk in the lemon juice and eggs. Cook the mixture over medium to medium-high heat, whisking constantly, until it thickens (you should be able to make tracks in the mixture with your whisk). This will take about 8-10 minutes. Use a fine mesh strainer to remove the zest. Add the butter, whisking until it is fully incorporated. Set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake chilled tart dough for 15-20 minutes, or until dry in appearance and touch. Add lemon filling and continue baking for 25-30 minutes, or until filling has set. Cool to room temperature. Just before serving, sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup sugar over the tart.* Using a torch, melt the sugar and form a crisp top.
