Pink Saturday, sponsored by Beverly at How Sweet the Sound.
Happy Pink Saturday and Happy Holidays to you and your family, dear Mary.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I had heard this version of this song, but I love it. I have always been a fan of both Art Garfunkel and Peter Simon.
That Southern Nut Cake looks like something we would love. I'm already wishing I had a slice to go with my morning cup of coffee.
Mary-you make the most wonderful treats- have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteI just gained 5 pounds, but it was worth it. I love candied walnuts and caramel popcorn....
ReplyDeleteI thought I was done but those peppermint patties are kinda calling my name...
ReplyDeleteThe pink peppermint patties look awesome, and they aren't too hard to make! I love Art Garfunkel and have one of his albums.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea you could make your own peppermint patties.....I'm in big trouble.
ReplyDeleteAll of your treats look delicious--especially loving the candied walnuts and peppermint patties. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful weekend.
Happy Saturday, Mary! What better way to celebrate than with all these wonderful treats :)
ReplyDeleteAlle sieht lecker aus. Grüsse aus Berlin.
ReplyDeleteThey all look great Mary! I just said yesterday that I thought I'd make some chocolate covered candied orange peel for Ma. Your link is broken, if you get a chance could you try to fix that? I'll check back later:@)
ReplyDeleteHayırlı hafta sonları, ellerinize sağlık. Çok leziz ve iştah açıcı görünüyor.
ReplyDeleteSaygılar.

ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful music to listen to as I read through your post, Mary, and scrolled through the lovely pictures of your Christmas treats. The names were particularly compelling, and I will be chasing after some of them in a minute here. I just want to give you a giant metaphoric hug and wish you a very Merry Christmas.

Hi Mary, I too love this song. It is a blessing to many. It brings us closer to the meaning of Christmas.
ReplyDeleteYes, my baking is pretty much done but we are going to our daughter in Jax, FL for Christmas and we will be cooking up something special. All you shared sounds delicious. Thak you for the ideas for a special treat. The nut bread is my fave.
Wishing you Merry Christmas blessings.
