In the midst of accomplishing those items on your to-do list, I encourage you to look around and capture the wonder of the season and, if at all possible, make time for pancakes.

Favorite Cranberry Pecan Cookies – Three Ways
No matter which version you bake, the best part of making Cranberry Pecan Cookies is how surprisingly wonderful they taste! Fresh cranberries give these cookies a bright tartness that is a welcome contrast to the spicy richness of other treats on my holiday cookie plate.
Pfefferneusse (Peppernuts)
Easy to make, wonderfully fragrant and delicious, these are now a holiday favorite at our house. To make these little Peppernuts I doubled the quantity of ground spices in the original recipe and added some clear sugar crystals for sparkle and crunch. Try these little bite-sized cookies to enjoy the flavor and fragrance of the season.
Chocolate Hazelnut Cheesecake Spread
Is it possible for chocolate to be out of season? Chocolate has become such a common favorite it is hard to think so. Yet late in the summer, when the temperature soars, I find myself using it sparingly. Maybe I add some chocolate chips here and there but densely rich […]
Pecan Pie Bites
I really like Pecan Pie. It is one of my all time favorites. It is usually over the top sweet but, in small doses, it speaks of warm southern tradition like no other dessert can hope to…
Golden Treasure Cookies
Easy to make, using only four ingredients, these coin-shaped cookies are surprisingly delicious. The taste reminds me of Tagalongs, those yummy chocolate covered peanut butter Girl Scout Cookies. The difference is that Golden Treasure Cookies are coated with butterscotch instead of chocolate. Both sweet and salty, these special treats satisfy with golden peanut butter goodness.
Snow Cream
Snow Cream is the stuff of childhood dreams. When a deep and fluffy snow has freshly fallen, gather a few essential ingredients from the kitchen and stir them together. Then collect a pristine bowl of that magic ingredient that has just fallen from the winter sky. All that’s left to do is…Add Snow…and enjoy this dreamy soft vanilla custard while you can.
Last Minute Gifts: Peanut Butter Fudge Cutouts
Turn a pan of Peanut Butter Fudge into sweet gifts with a few metal cookie cutters and some melted chocolate. Your family and friends will be glad you dd!
Olive Penguins in the Snow
Carrots, olives, cream cheese and toothpicks are all you need to craft these amazingly cute Olive Penguins. Add a single chive for a handsome scarf, if you like. Easy to make, they are fun to share with family and friends.
Gingerbread Biscotti
A rich blend of candied ginger and holiday spices adds a lingering warmth to the robust flavor of these delicious cookies. Sweetened with molasses and brown sugar, studded with nuts and drizzled with white chocolate, Gingerbread Biscotti pair well with a warm cup of coffee. They also hold up well to dipping, if you dare.
Old-Fashioned Gingerbread
One of my favorite flavors of the holiday season is gingerbread. I love its moist crumb and dark spiciness. Warm from the oven, dusted with powdered sugar and glazed or topped with sweetened whipped cream it can’t help but hint of holiday magic. The spicy fragrance reminds me of warm […]
Sugar Cookies
This dough holds its shape beautifully through baking. It makes firm Sugar Cookies that are easy to work with and perfect for decorating. Topped with Royal Icing and colorful decorator sprinkles they make an attractively sweet holiday expression. Waiting For the Timer Here I am, sitting in the corner of […]
