 Bacon Gorgonzola & Pomegranate Cheese Ball My parents were eternal romantics! They eloped on New Years Eve, and so that night has always been a family time to celebrate!
We usually celebrate at home with family and friends, with lots of champagne, appetizers, laughter and good memories! And for such a special night, I like to pull out all of the stops - and this Bacon Gorgonzola Almond & Pomegranate Cheese Ball is a showstopper!

 Apricot Raspberry Glazed Ham Wowza. It's always been hard to decide on our favorite holiday ham, but the contest has been won - Apricot Raspberry Glazed Ham is always a crowd-favorite!
This family-favorite holiday ham is a perfect combination of sweet and savory. Apricot and Raspberry preserves, mixed with spicy Dijon mustard and a touch of brown sugar create the absolute best glaze I have ever made! We enjoyed this so much at Christmas that I had numerous requests to make again for our New Year's dinner, and Easter, and special birthday dinners!  Beefy Wild Rice Bake Now that we're entering into some serious winter weather, it's time to pull out the old family favorites! This Beefy Wild Rice Bake is something that I have been making for decades, and always make during Christmas break - it makes for a delicious dinner and seriously good leftovers for the kids during the week!
And it's been so long since I shot photos of this, it was time to do that as well!  Pigs in a Blanket Growing up, my mom always made Pigs in a Blanket and baked beans for Halloween supper - and we couldn't leave the house until we had something to eat. Good thing that these were always one of our favorites!
As the years have passed, these retro and iconic rollups have always been a family favorite. So simple and easy to make that even the little ones love helping to make them!  Big Soft Ginger Christmas Cookies Nothing screams Christmas party like some soft and chewy old-fashioned Big Soft Ginger Christmas Cookies!
I start with our family-favorite Big Soft Ginger Cookie recipe, and with the magic of some good quality white chocolate, we take these to the next level!  Peppermint Bark Brownie Bites Okay guys. I'm going to just make a public service announcement now. It's for your own good...
These Peppermint Bark Brownie Bites should come with a warning label! Bite-sized rich and chewy dark chocolate brownies are filled with dark chocolate peppermint bark and sprinkled with holiday sprinkles for fun! I have never had such a runaway hit on Christmas treats!  Pecan Brittle So this weekend I've been putting the final touches on the list of goodies and treats to be included in my holiday gift boxes this year...and I just had to share this wonderful and easy recipe with you all!
If you love Pecan Brittle, you will adore this! Even my little ones that aren't crazy about pecans are addicted to this! And believe it or not, 15 minutes and a microwave are all that are standing between you and a batch of this snappy and crunchy Pecan Brittle! With this fabulously easy method there is no madness, just perfect Pecan Brittle every time!  Beef Stroganoff (Slow Cooker) Ahhhh.....here's to cold winter nights and wonderful dinners with friends and family!
If you are looking for the PERFECT menu for a dinner party or other special event, you are in the right spot! Crazy tender beef with a rich and creamy mushroom and onion beef sauce that just melts in your mouth! And the best part?  Caramel Cashew Chex Mix Isn't it amazing how fast the holidays creep up on us? Thanksgiving is barely past, and BAM - December happens!
At the beginning of the month I usually look back at menus and notes from past Christmas holidays - and start assembling a framework for what hopefully will help keep me organized through the holidays. Sometimes being a list-maker can be a curse or a blessing! This is a family favorite recipe - we've been making this for years, and everyone is always so happy when it makes its first appearance of the season - warm caramel with the most delicious secret! And while my family is sometimes happy to eat this right of the counter as it is cooling from the oven, it also perfect for parties. And in a pretty basket with a bow, this makes a perfect little gift! |
