Merry Christmas, everyone! Yesterday on Fox59 I had the opportunity to talk about my favorite gifts for the cook in your life. These were the three products I talked about in the segment: Silpat Non-Stick Silicone Baking Mat: A Silpat baking mat is a must-have for anyone who uses their oven. I bake everything on […]
Peanut Butter Blossoms is another type of cookie that we only make during the holidays.

Mainly because we only make them during the holidays and we always make them in the shape of Christmas trees. Spritz cookies have always been my favorite.

I am not exaggerating in the slightest when I say this peppermint fudge is impossibly easy. How do I know it qualifies as impossibly easy? Well let me tell you a little story about my dad… The last time my dad prepared something in the kitchen was approximately 27 years ago when my parents were
My mom has made this cheese ball every Christmas for as long as I can remember. It’s a great little appetizer that you can serve with crackers, and it really is quite pretty. I recently served it at a party for my Bible study group and it was a big hit! I read online that
I love walking through the mall during the holiday season because the whole place smells like cinnamon candied nuts. It is the most difficult treat to resist.because you can seriously smell those guys a mile away! When I was growing up my mom would occasionally splurge and get us a serving of nuts – they
