We stay home and celebrate New Year’s Eve with our daughter. It’s usually freezing cold and we aren’t into going out drinking anymore. Plus, there are some years that we don’t make it till midnight. I think last year I woke up just before the ball dropped.
The kids like to get into the celebration. You could always do something … Read More ...
I still haven’t tried fried pickles. Last year I said I would try it this year and I have failed. Maybe I will make them for New Year’s Eve and I’ll have one less fail for the year. I always thought that these were made with sour pickles. Is it a preference? Are they like potato chips? Can you stop … Read More ...
I bet I had you at bacon?! It wouldn’t be a party without at least one item with bacon. Okay, maybe not all of you will agree with me. I will have some healthier options, but right now it is about the bacon. I think this deserves a test run before the big party.

What time is it? Time to start thinking about appetizers for New Year’s Eve and maybe even early prep for Super Bowl Sunday? Who doesn’t like mozzarella sticks? These can be enjoyed by all and really anytime. Watching a movie, playing board games, kids party, sleepover or during the current football season.

The cold and flu season seems to start earlier and earlier every year. This year was no exception. In fact, I got a flu shot this year. I haven’t had one in 15 years and then I find out it may not be effective against this year’s flu strain. Knock on wood that I continue to be healthy. We try … Read More ...
This is a dish that could be served during Kwanzaa, but I’m thinking I might make up a batch for New Year’s Day.
Maybe keep this in mind for a holiday dish next year. I can’t believe I’m already talking about next year. Let me know if there is anything you would like to have me cover in the new … Read More ...
Today is the first day of Kwanzaa and boxing day. In America it is return all your gifts day, well it at least seems like it. Everyone goes to use their gift cards and hope they get a good deal on the after Christmas sales.
I’m not very familiar with Kwanzaa, so I the webpage attached should give you some … Read More ...

The past two years and again this year, we will be making our gingerbread house on New Year’s Eve. Sometimes we don’t have enough time. It doesn’t matter when you make it, it is all about the fun and time spent together. Here are some suggestions from Nuts.com if you want to buy supplies for this years or ideas and … Read More ...
As mentioned before, I love the movie “Elf” and we watch it every year on Christmas Eve. I cringe every time he takes that big bite of spaghetti with the maple syrup added. I’m not sure this one is any better, but it could be fun for the kids. They can enjoy the same meal as Santa’s elves on Christmas … Read More ...
Tomorrow is Christmas Eve. I have a lot to do today and tomorrow morning! I’m blaming the weather! It is the first time in a very long time that we will have 50 degrees and a green Christmas. I am looking forward to the evening traditions of eating pizza and watching the Grinch and Elf before heading to bed. We … Read More ...
Fudge even the lactose intolerant can enjoy. There is nothing worse, than having to say no to a child or adult at the sweets table. The recipe uses almond milk, butter alternative and cocoa powder. I’m not sure you would be able to tell the difference. I might have to give it a try, sounds less fattening too.

Did you know you could use your Christmas tree as an herbal drink or a disinfectant? Apparently, if you get a pine or cedar tree you can. We don’t have a real tree, but we do have a wreath made of pine. I’ll have to bring it indoors after the holiday season. I have a new appreciation for the pine … Read More ...
Being close to Canada, we had friends that always made us pork pies during the holiday season. It was the best comfort food during the long cold winters. My Mom has tried making it, but it just doesn’t taste the same. I’m hoping this recipe will bring me back to my childhood. The only difference would be, we ate it … Read More ...
I love trifles! They are easy to make and yet so elegant looking. You can make them in a big clear bowl for everyone to help themselves to or create individual servings as pictured. A quick dessert that can also be made with cake or cookies. Or you could make a healthier version using fruit and yoghurt.
