Christmas memories

       Christmas had to be started off right and that would be with Rudolph and Frosty. We waited all year for these cartoons.

     

One year I will have an aluminum Christmas tree to make my Retro Christmas complete.   

           

The wishbook was like another present. My brothers and I would look for hours and hours. We would circle everything we wanted Santa to bring us.

      

         Higabee's department store window display. Higabee's went all out for the Holidays.

  I remember my Grandmother making this cake. I love the vintage recipes. Holidays are not complete until cookies and cakes are baked. We make a whole bunch of cookies for the neighbors. Kids love to help me.

       

    

  I do really like these aprons. I never remember a time where my Grandmother didn't have one on. 

I love to look at the pictures and reminisce about the good old days.

  I am not sure if I like all this. I do enjoy looking at the different holiday decor though.  I love to decorate for all the holidays.

Apple Fritters

Super easy, kid friendly and yummy!! I had a ton of apples that were sitting here and I wanted to bake an apple pie but figured my kids might like these and its easier for their little fingers.

Apple Fritters:
1 cup flour

1/4 cup sugar

3/4 tsp salt

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

2 tsp cinnamon

1/3 cup of milk

1 egg 

1 1/2 cups chopped apples

Glaze:
Powdered sugar
Milk (I eyeball this, not really sure of exact measurements).

Mix dry ingredients then add wet and fold in apples....Heat oil to medium and drop spoonfuls of batter into the oil. Turn after 3 min or so and wait until they either float, or are golden brown.

Drain on paper towel or paper bag, thats what I drain my foods on, soaks it up better. Enjoy!
