Christmas

Nothing’s quite as festive for breakfast as this Cranberry Pecan Streusel Coffeecake – moist and sweet/tart, flavored with a hint of orange and topped with a thick layer of buttery streusel and crunchy pecans.

Old-fashioned Christmas cookies from my grandmother’s recipes aren’t fancy or trendy, but they still taste the best, and it wouldn’t be Christmas without them.

The first Saturday of the Christmas season and we were savoring the season’s first snowfall, and cooking a buttery seafood casserole for a festive dinner for two.

Chocolate Peppermint Brownie Cookies are intensely chocolate-y with a rich fudgy-ness that puts brownies to shame, and a festive hint of peppermint for the holidays.

A collection of old and new Christmas favorites.

Crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside, with a cloak of rich dark chocolate thrown over one shoulder, these are not your usual macaroons.
