I like making a few Christmas goodies to eat and have published some seasonal celebration recipes in this blog. Every year I try some new recipes friends recommend and I’m rarely disappointed with the results.
This year I have been busy making some new goodies and when I have the time to I will share the new recipes I tried with you. Until then here’s a quick list of recipes you might like to try yourself.
Holiday recipes:
Grandma’s Peanut Brittle and Fudge
Blackberry Bars and Chewy Bars
Mocha Shortbread Cookies
Holiday Eggnog and Eggnog Truffles
Three Cranberry Coffee Cake Recipes
Cranberry and White Chocolate Cookies
Fleur de sel carameles recipe
You have my attention with the fudge and flor de sal de carameles (yes, I’m using the Spanish spelling and terms) recipes. I do have a candy thermometer because I canned jelly earlier this year and set aside some juice to do more.
Next to shortbread, fudge is a favorite of mine too. As a candy lover I know you will love both recipes, for sure.
Those cranberry and white chocolate cookies sound scrumptious. I’d never thought to put the two together put it makes total sense. YUM! I hope you had a great holiday, TT>
They are yummy, Janene, but shortbread is at the top of my favorite list. I hope you had a wonderful holiday and will also have a fabulous 2013.
Hi, I have nominated you for the Blog of the Year 2012 Award. Here is the link: http://inspire1life.com/2013/01/04/blog-of-the-year-2012/
Congratulations :)
Thank you so much for nominating me. I am honored and hope you will not be offended but I prefer not to accept awards. Best wishes.
One day, TiTi, when I can afford to get a new inbuilt oven (mine’s useless for most things) I’ll be able to make these delicious recipes and more! Thanks for them. :)
Hi Val,
I hope you get a new oven very soon. I would feel lost without one.
Oh my! the diet will have to wait… until 2013!
Even if you are on a diet you can have a single cookie and savor the flavor.
I like the blackberry bars best: they represent the local fruit of the Northwest coast where you live. And in response, my homemade blackberry focaccia which you’ve seen pics awhile ago: http://cyclewriteblog.wordpress.com/2011/06/20/kicking-up-schiacciata-con-l%e2%80%99uva-grape-focaccia-my-way-with-ginger-root-and-spices/ May your journey next year be softened with kindness and good things.
Hi Jean,
Thanks for the well wishes. We are catching up with friends we haven’t seen for a year and that’s elevating my spirits. I love blackberries. :)
I skipped the cookies, but made a couple of old favorites this year that I haven’t made in years. Pumpkin Pecan Torte, and Rice Pudding Pear Tart. I look forward to seeing your Mocha Shortbread recipe. :)
Hi there,
Those two recipes of yours sound good. I hope you do try the mocha shortbread. This year I also made pistachio shortbread.
Pistachio shortbread sounds heavenly!
I think the egg nog truffles would be my favorite one to eat.
Hi Justin,
An excellent choice, if I do say so myself. They don’t last long when I serve them so I tend to dole them out in very small batches.
