Candy Cane Martini Jelly Shots

Fresh Corn Soup with Crab
I really liked how simple and fresh this soup is. The only problem is you have to strain the soup at the end and don’t be lazy like me. It leaves a funky texture and tasted much better the next day when I strained it. This is a perfect starter to any meal. Fresh Corn...
Cookie Dough Truffles
I originally made these back in December for game night, but with all the gift basket goodies I wanted to post I ran out of time to add this one in. This is super easy to mix up and who doesn’t like to eat cookie dough? I kind of like the raw look from the cookie...
White Chicken Enchiladas
Hope everyone recovered from the holiday’s just fine and is ready to get back in the swing of things. We had a nice Christmas vacation as well as New Years. I got a few new kitchen toys, but overall we had a low key Christmas. I didn’t decorate much this year, instead...
Fudge Slide Martini
Another year has flown by! I better get working on my New Year’s resolutions there isn’t much time left. It’s been a rough year for me so 2012 better be good to me. One of my goals for this past year was to do a video entry for a contest and I did do 1,...
Pumpkin Butter
One last thing I didn’t get to squeeze in before Christmas that I had in my gift baskets. This pumpkin butter is really really good and so easy to make. I’m proud to say I also canned for the first time, it’s a lot less scary then I thought it would be. I made this...

Whiskey in a Jar (Flourless) Chocolate Cake
If your holidays are crazy like mine are you might want to make one of these for yourself! I like the idea of doing cakes and pies in a jar. They’re so much less messy and look really cute. Remember these are not kid friendly so make sure you tell whomever you are...
Hot Chocolate Spoons
If you are looking for a simple gift basket stuffer or a party favor, give these hot chocolate spoons a try. There’s really no recipe for them you just use your imagination and create any flavor combo you want. I started by laying out my spoons. You want to use a...
Snowman Soup
This is such a cute idea for teachers gifts, gift baskets or as party favors. There’s no real recipe for this, but I’ll try to give you as much detail as I can. I used some cute bags and added in some hot chocolate, mini candy canes and chocolate candy. Before you...
Peanut Brittle
By no means am I a candy maker by a long shot! I make marshmallows really good, but other than that and fudge I don’t really mess with candy. I don’t know why, maybe because it’s so easy to mess up if it goes one degree over a certain temperature or depends on the...
