I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving, enjoyed time with family, and ate lots and lots of stuffing and pie…that’s what I filled up on. And continued to eat pie all weekend long:) But heck, I’m ready for more sweets, aren’t you? Now that Thanksgiving is over it’s time for some Christmas goodies and…
Christmas
Sweet Charity Pie
This is a dessert my mom always seems to make around the Holidays. I’m not usually a fan of cherry-flavored or filled desserts, but for some reason I can’t stay away from this one. I think it’s the cherry-almond flavor of the two fillings that gets me. You get a sweet cream cheese layer…
Peanut Butter Fudge (I call it Fluffernutter Fudge)
Hi there. Meet my good friend Peanut Butter…. And it’s counterpart, Marshmallow Cream…. Don’t they just go perfectly together? And did ya know that together (with a few other ingredients) you get the most amazing Peanut Butter Fudge? It tastes like fluffernutter fudge to me. And honestly,…
White Chocolate Cranberry Pistachio Cookies
We had a Christmas party here with some of our good friends on Saturday night. As I was trying to think of a festive cookie to make for the party, I remembered my sister-in-law Christy’s, Cran- Pistachio Cookies she made last year. I never got around to trying them but I remembered they had pistachio…
Holiday Granola

The Naughty List….
We are making the treck to Colorado today. I’ll be gone for a week and half and I am so excited just to spend time with family and enjoy a week with my husband not working:) I’ve still got laundry to fold and a bag to pack so I’ll make this quick. Here are a…
Grandma’s Christmas Breakfast and Christmas Morning Muffins
We are spending Christmas with my family this year in good ol’ Alamosa, Colorado. Heard of it? I didn’t think so. It’s two hours from any major city and shopping mall, and four hours from a major airport. It will most likely be 10 below zero, snowing, and windy. Jealous? I didn’t think so. Yes,…
Peppermint Bark Chocolate Fudge Cookies
Check out my Caldrea Holiday Candle Giveaway here! ********************************* Every year I look forward to the day after Thanksgiving when Costco puts out their two pound tubs of peppermint bark. I buy that two pound tub just to make these cookies. And then I eat the rest in a matter of a week….and…

I’m participating in the Christmas Blog Extravaganza, Merry Mondays, that the girls over at Claire Cooks and Greens and Chocolate are hosting. Go check it out! I had just bookmarked these Sugared Cranberries when I found out the first Merry Monday ingredient was Cranberries. Perfect! Or so I thought. I made the…
