Peppermint Hot Chocolate Popcorn. Easy. Tasty. Wonderful for a last minute gift or party snack. The longest part of making this popcorn is waiting for the chocolate to re-harden. I love peppermint hot chocolate so much. So much. These cookies are a testament to that. And the day I discovered that homemade popcorn was as […]

Cinnamon Nutmeg Snowball Cookies. Or Russian Tea Cakes. Or Mexican Wedding Cookies. Or whatever else you might call them. You guys, this is the 3rd year in a row that I have had this recipe sitting in my drafts and I almost forgot to post it before Christmas (like I did last year and the […]

Brandy Spiked Eggnog Cookies. Yes. Please. OMG. It shouldn’t surprise anyone that I love brandy spiked desserts, especially with eggnog and especially for Christmas. And I’m always looking for something unique and surprising to bring to various Christmas parties, but I also don’t want to be in the kitchen for a million hours. These cookies […]

It’s pretty simple to make, it really doesn’t require many ingredients, and serving it is as simple as laying it out on a plate and allowing each person to literally grab a piece.

This Giant Sugar Cookie Tombstone is a fun and super easy creation for Halloween.

Pumpkin Chiffon Pie with a Triple Gingersnap Crust. This recipe for Pumpkin Chiffon Pie is a classic that was handed down from my grandmother to my mother and then to me. With only minor tweaks in spices, cookie crust, and the use of agar agar in place of gelatin to keep this a vegetarian dessert, […]

Raw Coconut Passionfruit Pudding Recipe I know it’s supposed to be fall, but someone has apparently forgotten to tell the weather that. Last week we had a definite cold streak which left me in comfy, cozy sweaters craving nothing but pumpkin pastries and lattes and whatnot, making me feel like falling leaves and Halloween are […]
