Peppermint Oreo Truffles

December 17, 2012

A while ago, we made some delicious Oreo Truffles. We took this recipe and added some holiday flair by adding a dash of peppermint extract. These truffles were soooo good. Relatively easy to make, these truffles didn’t take up too much time. It was trying to melt the white chocolate that took up most of my time. Last time I melted white chocolate, it was no bueno. Adding in the…

Cheesy Eggs and Potatoes

December 16, 2012

This was a delicious and filling dinner! You can also make these Cheesy Eggs and Potatoes for breakfast. If you love cheese and potatoes, then this recipe is for you. We took this recipe from Sandra Lee but made a few modifications to make it our own. We love red onions. The smell, the taste, and even the smell when it’s cooking. But a shallot? Uhghgh, so delicious! Our kitchen smelled…

Chocolate Peanut Butter Truffles

December 14, 2012

I found the recipe for these Chocolate Peanut Butter Truffles at Six Sisters Stuff (Chubby Hubby Truffles) and I knew I had to try it. No recipe modifications were made here. Chocolate Peanut Butter – Need I say more? I just took a bite so I could take a picture (featured image) and I literally died and went to heaven. These are really sweet, and soooooo good. The chocolate peanut butter combination won…

Winter White Sangria

December 10, 2012

Note: If you’re going to make this sangria, make it 4-24 hours in advance to let the fruit marinate. The longer the better 🙂 I needed a sangria recipe for the holidays, and I wanted to try something a little different. The Fall Sangria is delicious. It’s full, has body, is sweet, won over our friends, but was not a hit with the older adults in my family. I made this sangria…

Rich N’ Thick Hot Chocolate

December 5, 2012

What’s better then cuddling up to your fireplace on a cold winter’s night? A cup of homemade hot chocolate. My favorite time to grab a cup is after a few hours shoveling or playing outside in the snow. I found this recipe on Pinterest, and you know how much I love chocolate, so I thought I’d give it a try. This recipe makes a thick, creamy, and chocolatey drink, so if…

Orange Stuff

December 3, 2012

It’s not a family gathering unless Auntie Jean brings her famous Orange Stuff. I had to beg and plea with her in order to get her to share the secret recipe. Usually, we ge this twice a year, more if we’re lucky. Thanksgiving and Christmas – this year, it made an appearance at my Dad’s 50th Birthday. Once the orange stuff is presented at the table, it’s only custom, among…

Salted Caramel Donuts

November 27, 2012

What’s better than waking up to coffee and donuts? HOMEMADE donuts! These salted caramel donuts combine some of the holiday’s go-to flavors like chocolate and caramel, but they’re also sweet and salty. They almost remind me of Starbuck’s salted caramel cake pops… These are not that difficult to make, but they do take a long time – especially if you have one donut pan. I was craving a donut so…
