M a p l e Pe c a n S t i c k y B u n s Ingredients 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temp 1/4 cup light brown sugar 1/4 cup granulated sugar 1 package (17.3 oz) frozen puff pastry, defrosted For the filling: 2 tbls unsalted butter, melted and cooled 2/3 cup light brown sugar 1 tbsp. ground cinnamon 3/4 cup raisins 1/4 cup walnuts, finely chopped
Directions 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. 2. Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin. 3. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine 1 1/2 sticks butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar. 4. Place 1 spoonful of the mix in each of the muffin cups. 5. Lightly flour a wooden cutting board and a rolling pin. 6. Unfold one of the puff pastry sheets, and brush with half the melted butter. 7. Use the rolling pin to lightly roll, creating a smooth surface on the puff pastry. 8. Leaving a 1-inch border, sprinkle with half the brown sugar, cinnamon, raisins and walnuts. 9. Starting with the end nearest you, roll the pastry snugly into a tube shape, finishing with the seam side down to hold the roll together. 10. Trim off the ends to even out (about 1/2 inch of dough) and discard. Slice into 6 equal pieces, and place them, spiral-side up, in 6 of the muffin cups. 11. Repeat with the second sheet of pastry. 12. Bake for 35 to 40 min or until the sticky buns are golden brown on top. 13. Cool for 5 min in the pan, then carefully invert the buns onto the parchment paper to cool completely. Recipes and Photos Courtesy of: HGTV.com
Tr i s h a Ye a r w o o d ’s Cheese Straws Ingredients 3 (10oz) bricks sharp cheddar cheese, room temp 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened 4 cups all purpose flour, sifted 2 teaspoons salt 1/8 teaspoon black pepper 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper dash garlic powder
Directions 1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. 2. Put the softened cheese and butter in the bowl of a heavy-duty electric mixer. Using the heaviest mixer attachment, beat the cheese and butter until the mixture has the consistency of whipped cream, about 30 minutes. 3. On a sheet of waxed paper, sift three cups of the flour with the salt, black pepper, cayenne and garlic powder. Gradually add the seasoned flour to the cheese mixture by large spoonful, beating well after each addition. Add the unseasoned flour until the dough is somewhat stiff but still soft enough to be pushed through a cookie press; you may not need to add all of the flour. 4. Lightly spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray. Put a portion of the dough into a cookie press fitted with the star tube and press the dough onto the cookie sheet in long strips that run the length of the pan. Note: If you don't have a cookie press, form the dough into 1-inch balls and flatten them with a fork. 5. Bake for 20 minutes. The cheese straws should be golden brown and crisp. With a sharp knife, cut the long strips into 3-inch lengths. Use a flat, thin spatula or egg turner to remove the cheese straws from the pan. Allow them to cool on a wire rack. When they are completely cool, store in a tightly covered container.

Selling Your Home During the Holidays
Attract Homebuyers Even During the Holidays with These Useful Tips! While the thought of selling your home during the winter months may dampen your holiday spirit, the season does have its advantages: holiday buyers tend to be more serious and competition is less fierce with fewer homes being actively marketed. Once you've committed to selling your home, don your gay apparel and follow these tips…
Deck the halls, but don’t go overboard. Homes often look their best during the holidays, but sellers should be careful not to overdo it on the decor. Adornments that are too large or too many can crowd your home and distract buyers. Also, avoid offending buyers by opting for general fall and winter decorations rather than items with religious themes.
Price it to sell. No matter what time of year, a home that’s priced low for the market will make buyers feel merry. Rather than gradually making small price reductions, many real estate agents advise sellers to slash their prices before putting a home on the market.
Make curb appeal a top priority. When autumn rolls around and the trees start to lose their leaves, maintaining the exterior of your home becomes even more important. Bare trees equal a more exposed home, so touch up the paint, clean the gutters and spruce up the yard. Keep buyers’ safety in mind as well by making sure stairs and walkways are free of snow, ice and leaves.
Give house hunters a place to escape from the cold. Make your home feel cozy and inviting during showings by cranking up the heat, playing soft classical music and offering homemade holiday treats. When you encourage buyers to spend more time in your home, you also give them more time to admire its best features.
Offer holiday cheer in the form of financing. Bah, humbug! Lenders are scrooges these days, but if you've got the means, then why not offer a home loan to a serious buyer? You could get a good rate of return on your money.
Relax—the new year is just around the corner. The holidays are stressful enough with gifts to buy, dinners to prepare and relatives to entertain. Take a moment to remind yourself that if you don't sell now, there's always next year, which, luckily, is only a few days away.
