Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2023-24

 

As Christmas approaches, the Sassy Silver Sisters are filled with joy and excitement. We can't help but feel grateful for another year of laughter, love, and sisterhood. Christmas has always been a special time for us, as we gather together to celebrate the birth of Jesus, exchange thoughtful gifts, and indulge in delicious homemade treats. But this year, as we reflect on the past 12 months, we are reminded that the true meaning of Christmas goes far beyond the materialistic aspects. It's about cherishing the moments spent with our loved ones, spreading kindness and love to those around us, and being grateful for all the blessings in our lives.

As we enter a new year, we are filled with hope and anticipation for what's to come. The start of a new year brings a sense of renewal and the opportunity to set new goals and make positive changes in our lives. We are excited to see what adventures and challenges await us in the coming months, and we are ready to face them with our signature sass and silver hair.

But as we look forward to the future, we can't help but also look back on the memories we've made throughout the year. From Cathy's weekly Facebook chats to our monthly get-togethers, and every moment spent with YOU has been filled with laughter and love. 

As we wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, we also want to take a moment to thank each and every one of you for being a part of our journey. Whether you've been following us since the beginning or just stumbled upon our sassy adventures, we are grateful for your support and love. You have become a part of our family, and we are blessed to have you in our lives.

So as we with our family and friends, let us also remember to spread love and joy to those around us. Let's make this holiday season a time of giving, not just of gifts, but of kindness, compassion, and generosity. From the Sassy Silver Sisters to you, we wish you a Christmas filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories. And may the new year bring you happiness, success, and all the sass your heart desires. Cheers to a fabulous holiday season and an even more fabulous new year!

Keep it sassy,

The Sassy Silver Sisters

Peppermint Bark Cookies - The combination of white peppermint bark atop a chocolate cookie base equals the ultimate holiday treat. This big-batch recipe is ideal for cookie swaps, festive parties or even wrapping up as gifts. It is also easy enough for baking with the whole family. Instead of forming individual cookies, you break the giant sheet into pieces, just like you would with traditional bark.

Smashed Sugar Cookies - We love the imperfection of these festive smashed cookies. The addition of two eggs gives the centers a tender and soft texture, while the crinkled edges get ever so slightly golden and crisp. Top with a simple confectioners' sugar glaze for a holiday treat perfect for a cookie tin.

Peppermint Muffin Tin Cookies - Thanks to the help of a muffin tin, these peppermint-spiked sugar cookies are perfectly round every single time. They're also easy enough for everyone in the family to pitch in to help. Frozen peppermint patties are stuffed in the middle to ramp up the flavor and provide a hidden surprise with the first bite. No need to decorate after baking -- the sprinkles go right on top before going into the oven so that once they are cool, they are ready to go.

Christmas Cookie Cutter Collection

Christmas cookie cutters are a fun and festive way to bring the joy of the holiday season into your home. Not only are they fun to use for making special Christmas cookies, but they can also be used to decorate cakes and cupcakes. With a variety of shapes and sizes available, you can easily find the perfect cookie cutter for your holiday baking needs. From classic shapes like stars, snowflakes, and Christmas trees, to unique designs like Santas, reindeer, and snowmen, there's something for everyone. And with so many different materials to choose from, you can find cookie cutters that are made of plastic, metal, or even silicone. With a little creativity, you can turn your ordinary cookies into a festive masterpiece. No matter what type of cookie cutter you choose, you are sure to enjoy the fun and festive atmosphere that Christmas cookie cutters can bring to your home.

National Cookie Cutter Week is celebrated annually from December 1-7, and is a time to recognize the beloved kitchen tool. During National Cookie Cutter Week, many bakers share their creations on social media, and the hashtag #NationalCookieCutterWeek is used to share recipes and baking tips. The week is a great opportunity to get creative in the kitchen and make something special for the holiday season. Whether you’re a novice baker or an experienced one, the possibilities are endless with cookie cutters. So let's all take part in National Cookie Cutter Week and get creative in the kitchen with our favorite shapes!

This Christmas season, I am so excited to share my cookie cutter collection with all of YOU. I started collecting cookie cutters quite some time ago, I'm not going to tell you how long, that will give my age away (haha). I have cookie cutters of various shapes and sizes, from candy canes and snowmen, to stars and trees. Every year I gather my cookie cutters and I begin to bake. I love the festive shapes they create and the fun memories I make with my family and friends. My cookie cutters make the perfect addition to any Christmas celebration, and I am sure that all of your loved ones will appreciate the special treats you make with them. So gather your cookie cutters and start baking, because it’s Christmas season!

A few years ago, I made this Gingerbread Cookie Christmas Tree with the star cookie cutters. The trick to have a tall tree is to cut out 2 of each size. 

I started with a batch of homemade gingerbread cookie dough, which I rolled out and cut into stars of various sizes. I then arranged the stars into a Christmas tree shape, starting with the larger stars at the base and gradually getting smaller as I moved up. I used royal icing to stick the stars together and then decorated the tree with colorful icing, sprinkles, and candy. The result was a fun and festive Christmas tree that everyone loved! Not only was it a delicious treat, but it was also a great way to show off my baking skills. 

Gingerbread men cookies are a classic holiday treat that can be decorated with royal icing for an extra special touch. These adorable cookies are perfect for holiday gatherings and make great gifts for friends and family. I had so much fun making these cuties :)

Last year we decided on Christmas mittens. These cookies are sure to add a festive touch to your holiday spread and are a delicious way to spread cheer during the season!

These were just a few of the cookies I've made over the years. I like being creative when it comes to cookies. I made some snowflake cookies one year but I didn't get a photo. They were white and blue, so pretty. Similar to the ones below.

(not my photo)

Do you have a Christmas cookie-cutter collection? Do you make Christmas cookies to give as gifts? We'd love to hear from you. Also, you can share your cookie photos on our Facebook page, we'd love to see them.

In the next couple of weeks, we will be sharing some cookie recipes with you. Stay tuned!!

Keep it sassy,

Book Review - Weathering the Storm by LN Goodyear

 

It’s an undeniable fact that family tragedies can take a toll on our mental and emotional health. Whether it’s the death of a loved one, a divorce, or a breakup, family tragedies can leave us feeling overwhelmed, hopeless, and helpless.

But despite the pain and sadness that come with family tragedies, there is still hope and a light at the end of the tunnel. In Weathering the Storm by LN Goodyear, the story shows it’s possible to find resilience and strength amid emotional turmoil and to emerge from the experience stronger and wiser. Weathering the Storm is a short, powerful, and inspiring story that will leave you on the edge of your seat.

If you’re looking for an honest and frank review of a book, look no further than the opinion of three sisters who have read the book and we wanted to share our thoughts on the book with you.

📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖

Cathy - I loved this story! It includes new and old relationships. A couple, Kinsley and Ryker, find love. The story has a bit of suspense. The story is about finding Ryker's missing brother and his sister-in-law while taking care of his nephew Dawson. The eleven chapters are easy to read because once you start, you don't want to stop reading. I can't wait for the next book by LN Goodyear!

Rhonda - What can I say about this book?  I loved the characters and the storyline. It was an easy read and I didn't want to put the book down.  I was pulled into the plot right away and wanted to keep going, which is pretty much what happened.  I like mystery and romance blended together.  I'm into crime shows and books so I like trying to figure out who or where the bad guy is.  This book had it all.   Thank you, Linda, for another great read.  Can't wait for the next book.

Kelly - Having read the book, I can say that it was an enjoyable and enlightening experience. The story was captivating and the characters were compelling. The writing was strong and LN Goodyear did an excellent job of capturing the emotions and struggles of the characters. I was impressed by the vivid description of the setting and the attention to detail. The book was filled with exciting plot twists and unexpected plot elements that kept me guessing till the very end. The book also had a great message about the power of family and how we can get through difficult times together. It was an inspiring read that left me feeling uplifted and hopeful. All in all, it was an enjoyable read and I highly recommend it to all readers.

If you’re looking for a great book to read, then you should definitely check out Weathering the Storm by LN Goodyear.

Bread Machine Raisin Bread Recipe

Every November, National Raisin Bread Month is celebrated across the country. Raisins are dried grapes that are used to add flavor and sweetness to many different types of breads. Raisin bread is one of the most popular and recognizable types of bread and it's enjoyed by people of all ages for breakfast, lunch, and snacks. Raisin bread is a great source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. It's also low in fat and cholesterol, making it a healthier alternative to other types of bread. The sweet and chewy texture of raisins makes it a great addition to any meal. Raisin bread is also a great way to get kids to enjoy eating more whole grains. Raisin bread can be used in a variety of recipes, from sweet to savory. It makes a great sandwich bread, can be used for French toast, or served with cheese and crackers for a quick snack. During National Raisin Bread Month, why not take some time to explore new recipes and enjoy the sweet, chewy taste of raisins in your favorite breads.
