We know that many of you were SO busy last month with Thanksgiving that you didn't have time to participate, so we tried to give you a few ingredients that you might already be using for holiday baking.  [Don't worry, we will go back to the occasional out-of-the-ordinary ingredient after the new year when we all will have more time!]  We also decided that each month, we will try and switch back and forth from sweet to savory.  Since last month was savory, here are your "sweet" ingredients for December:

Do you have ideas for ingredients?  Send them our way!  Even if you might not want to participate yourself, definitely comment or email us with what you'd like to see us cook or bake with!  This month, our "popcorn" and "chocolate" ingredients came from Heather!  

The Guidelines:

- "Open The Basket" on the first Tuesday of the month to see your ingredients and sign up.  

- Cook/Bake/Fry/Grill an original recipe using the four ingredients.

- Use any other ingredients you wish.

- Link up with our "Tasting" on the last Tuesday of the month with your recipe and/or photos of your creation.

- Use our button if you wish!
