Here at Geranium, there are so many things that we love about the holiday season including spending quality time with friends and family, holiday shopping, Christmas music, and of course all of the delicious food! We wanted to share some of the Geranium family-favourite recipes for the holiday season.<\/p>\n

Caribbean Pastelles<\/b><\/strong>
\nNadia, the executive assistant to the VP Land Development, was kind enough to share her favourite recipe from back home in Trinidad. \u201cWe make these every single Christmas. The Pastelles are a huge part of our tradition and Trinidad and most families make them whether here or at home.\u201d  I do hope you enjoy this taste of the tropics over the holidays!<\/p>\n

      \n\u201cI have always been a die hard carrot cake lover so you can trust me when I say this is the WORLD’S BEST CARROT CAKE,\u201d explains Danielle in Geranium\u2019s Marketing Department. \u201cI make it for so many special occasions, my family absolutely loves it and whenever I serve it there are no leftovers.\u201d<\/p>\n

      Danielle\u2019s family has an annual Chanukah bake-off where everyone in the family bakes a special treat and then they judge on creativity, presentation, and taste. Danielle made this carrot cake at the last “bake-off” and impressed all of the judges proudly taking home first place!  \u201cI hope you enjoy!  And Happy Chanukah!\u201d<\/p>\n

              \n\u201cOur kitchen on Christmas day is chaos,\u201d says Amanda, a Project Estimator,  \u201cYou know the classic saying \u201ctoo many cooks in the kitchen\u201d? There are never enough burners and way too many dishes to wash.\u201d Wrap that up with trying to time it all to the table – and it could spell disaster.  \u201cA few years ago I came across this simple recipe for crockpot green beans. When I make bacon in the morning for breakfast I put some aside for this fantastic supper side dish! Now I get asked to make it every year – I just don’t tell them how easy it is.\u201d<\/p>\n

                        \t\t\t\t
                      1. 1\u2153 cups whole wheat flour<\/li>\t\t\t\t
                      2. \u00be cup unbleached all purpose flour<\/li>\t\t\t\t
                      3. \u00bd tbsp baking powder<\/li>\t\t\t\t
                      4. 1 tsp baking soda<\/li>\t\t\t\t
                      5. \u00bd tbsp cinnamon<\/li>\t\t\t\t
                      6. 2 tsp ginger<\/li>\t\t\t\t
                      7. \u00bd tsp nutmeg<\/li>\t\t\t\t
                      8. \u00bd tsp cloves<\/li>\t\t\t\t
                      9. \u00bd cup coconut oil<\/li>\t\t\t\t
                      10. \u00bd cup + 1 tbsp evaporated cane sugar<\/li>\t\t\t\t
                      11. \u00bc cup water<\/li>\t\t\t\t
                      12. \u00bd cup fancy molasses (blackstrap is not recommended)<\/li>\t\t\t\t
                      13. \u00bd tsp vanilla<\/li>\t\t\t<\/ol>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t
                        \t\t\t
                        Instructions<\/div>\t\t\t
                          \t\t\t\t
                        1. In a medium sized bowl combine the flours, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves. Set aside.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
                        2. In a large bowl, cream together the coconut oil and the sugar. Beat for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is nice and light. Add the water, molasses and vanilla, beat for another 30 seconds to mix thoroughly.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
                        3. Gradually add the flour mixture to the creamed sugar mixture, beating to combine.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
                        4. Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 2 hours)<\/li>\t\t\t\t
                        5. Before rolling, let the dough sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
                        6. Preheat oven to 325F.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
                        7. Roll the dough directly onto parchment paper. (Read our baking tips above for perfectly rolled cookies.) The dough should be \u00bc\" thick. Use cookie cutters to cut out the dough, use a flat spatula to gently remove the excess dough. Keep re-rolling and cutting out the dough until it's all used up.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
                        8. Pop the unbaked cookies into the freezer to chill for 10 minutes.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
                        9. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the cookies are lightly browned around the edges and barely firm in the centre.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
                        10. Let them cool completely before decorating. Store them in an airtight container for a perfectly soft chewy molasses cookie texture. Alternatively, you can store them with a little bit of air ventilation for a lightly crisp, snappy gingerbread cookies.<\/li>\t\t\t<\/ol>\r\n\t\t<\/div>
