Feast of the Seven Fishes!
We decided to prepare the Feast of the Seven Fishes for 2017 Christmas Eve. I’ve always wanted to do this …
Almond Butter Cookies
I have a love affair with cookies and prefer them soft, not crunchy. Although peanut butter cookies are fantastic, I always have almond butter on hand so I thought I’d replace the standard PB. It adds an extra bit of protein to these fabulous cookies so I can also experience a bit less guilt.
Homemade Marshmallows
These are so much better than the ones you buy at the store! Make homemade s’mores with my graham cracker recipe and a piece of chocolate. Fabulous!
Gingerbread Sandwiches with Caramel Buttercream
I made a ton of cookies this holiday season..it’s my stress reliever. Out of all of them, these were my favorite. They will knock your socks off!
EASY Pumpkin Cupcakes with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting
I am one of those chicks that loves pumpkin in everything during autumn…I have no shame. These are super moist and a cinch to make. The cupcakes contain only three ingredients and the frosting is also simple to prepare.
Pecan Pie Bars
Pecan pie is one of my dad’s favorite desserts so I decided to make these for father’s day. They were so delicious that I made them again the following week for a family reunion. They are buttery, nutty, and will quickly disappear.
Brown Butter Rice Krispie Treats with Dark Chocolate and Sea Salt
Like most people I LOVE Rice Krispie Treats but I wanted to see if I could kick them up a notch. This recipe is a good way to make the treats a little “fancier”. The mixture of sweet and salty is great too.
Chocolate Almond Espresso Bars
A couple years ago we stayed at the Kingsleigh Inn in the Bar Harbour area of Maine. The owners Pamela & Bryan were such gracious hosts and the food they served was AMAZING. These bars were a favorite for me so I had to get the recipe. I’ve adapted it slightly.
Salted Chocolate Caramel Spread
I altered this recipe a bit from Real Simple Magazine. It makes a great gift and is super sweet! I packaged the spread up in mason jars with labels along with Shortbread Cutout Cookies.
