Well, you get a little creative. I actually did bake a little on Tuesday nite. My sister let me come by and use her oven. Baked 6 mini loaves of Cranberry Orange Bread. Mmm! It was so good. Then last night I made chocolate covered pretzels with sprinkles on them for the kids in Neecy's class. I also tried something I have been wanting to do for a couple of years now. I made Marshmallows!! Oh my goodness....they were sooooo good and much easier than I thought. I had homemade marshmallows a couple of years ago and they were great. Ever since then, I have thought about making my own but for one reason or another I don't get to it. Now that the holidays are here and I usually make homemade gifts I had to figure out what to make without my oven.
I went to the Dollar Tree and bought some of the mini Chinese take-out type boxes. They have them 4 for $1.00 and are really decorated cute for Christmas. I added a small sheet of tissue paper and put some chocolate covered pretzels in each one and gave those to her classmatess. Then for the teachers, I took one loaf of bread, a package of hot chocolate and I packaged some marshmallows in Cello bags and packaged them up in really cute bags I also found at the Dollar Tree and tied them with ribbon. I attached a homemade card letting them know what was in the bag .
Those marshmallow were so good, I didn't get a chance to take a picture of them...they're gone! I plan to make more this week-end and add these to my homemade treat bags.
