Gingerbread House of the Day #2

Here it is!  The other gingerbread house I was inspired to make during second period yesterday.
I had all this stuff at home that goes great with graham crackers, so I decided to to do a Christmas craft with it...then eat it of course.  This was an addition to my dinner and dessert last night.
I used almond butter to connect the house
vanilla bean cheesecake cream cheese to hold the "doors and windows" (Recees Pieces) in place
more of the vbccc to be snow on the rooftop
light brown Heath Pieces as "shingles"
and cool whip as snow!
 
To the side I made a nut tree
pumpkin spice cream cheese
pumpkin
and pumpkin butter make the ground layers
then cool whip and cinnamon make the snow
the "tree" is a skinny graham cracker with more pscc and pumpkin
with pistachios and peanuts stuck all around and on top
 
Before I ate it, I drizzeled some honey on top, becuase a little honey makes everthing tastier!
The cool whip added an amazing flavor to it, also.
 I was thrilled with how yummy this fun project turned out.
A healthy, happy, festive treat for the Christmas season!

Tis the Season for School Projects...Treats

Don't you just love when your teacher comes to class and surprises you with a project?
In most cases the answer to this is a big NO, but when it involves Christmas and creativity, that changes to a big YES!
Today my web design teacher brought in items for us all to make gingerbread houses!  This is the way to do it, using real stuff!  It's cheaper, tastier, and more fun than using a kit from a store.
 

This one was made by a friend in my class named Molly to look like a nativity!  What a great idea that also shows the true meaning we celebrate!

This one was the one I made!  It is totally going on display at my house tonight!  I made a cute little house with a walkway, a tree, and a dog house!
Now I have even more ideas with what I plan to do for dessert tonight.  I just love Christmas crafts!  I can't wait to get started on this!  There will be another gingerbread post shortly...(:
