Food for Thought:

Red & black licorice bites, ropes & twists, candy canes – all colors, sizes

Jelly beans, small is more useful

Pretzel sticks, large and small (good for fences, log piles), and pretzel squares for windows

Candy Pebbles/rocks (great for chimneys or accent on house front or back)

Cherry Lifesavers

Hershey's chocolate bars, break them into sections for shutters, walkways, chimneys, etc.

Fruit Stripe gum - great shutters, roofs, walkways, etc. - hard to find and a favorite

Chocolate chips (use for accent anywhere)   

Round swirled red and white peppermint candies, use as accent around the house border, stack for a fence post

Ice Cream cones, cover in frosting for trees, use as turrets on the house
 Crackers, use as walkways or shutters

Round cookies, use as whimsical accent, or as wheels if you have a cart, or as a round window accent

Flat almonds or other nuts, good roof material

Shredded Wheat, Chex  cereals - good for roof material

Fruit Loops, Colored Cheerios, other imaginative cereal shapes/colors...walk down the cereal aisle at the grocery

Wafer cookies; build a porch, steps or walkway, shutters

Silver dragees (in the cake decorating aisle of your store) they are little silver balls, use for accent anywhere

Gum drops - all colors, all sizes, plus gum drop shaped trees, wreaths

M & Ms - all colors, but red and green is popular

Red Hots, Chiclets or Star Bursts, etc.

 Wafers Candies - Neccos (flat, round, old fashioned candies, wrapped in a wax paper wrapper) - very popular!

Marshmallows (for snow piles, snowmen, etc.) Marshmallow trees and snowmen - only out at Christmas (in colors) Pepperidge Farm Gingerbread men, or other small cookie shapes

       

 

Recipe for Inside Outside Cake

4 eggs

¾ cup vegetable oil

Steps:

1.      Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a  Bundt pan.

2.      In large bowl, stir all above ingredients (yes—even the frosting!) until well combined.

3.      Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 45 minutes or until toothpick inserted in cake comes out clean.

4.      Allow to cool before removing from pan.

Double the Impact at Sister Carmen

 

Many of you will remember the impactful tour we took of the Sister Carmen facility earlier this year. We remain hopeful that the relationships we have established with their administrative team will lead to us finding candidates for our P.E.O. philanthropies.

Thanks to Geneva for sharing this information to those who might want to support their current effort:
