This recipe is gluten and dairy-free. The Christmas tree, artificial or real? We went artificial a few years ago. I do miss the lovely pine scent from the real tree, but thank goodness for Christmas scented candles

Love anything mint. These mint flavored desserts are some of my favorites. Although, the name really doesn’t sound very appealing. I think the best thing about these desserts in a jar, is that they travel well. Guests can take them home with them, if they don’t have room for dessert. They would make a cute place setting before the meal. … Read More ...

Eggnog!? You either like it or dislike it. I like it and very happy at this time of year, when I see it on the shelves again. I must admit, I have never had the alcohol version and I didn’t care for the chocolate flavored eggnog. Just love the creamy, sweet tasting nutmeg flavor of the original from the shelf! … Read More ...
