Kris Kringltini

December 5, 2018 by Debbie Leave a Comment

What is the perfect Christmas Martini? It has to have chocolate and peppermint ,right? I am not going to make any excuses here..I love to create adult beverages. Give me a theme and adorable glasses ,my wheels start to turn. I saw these cute martini glasses at one of my favorite stores and I snatched them up on Black Friday . I knew at that moment I would be creating a few Christmas Martinis. I packed up my liquor suitcase, yes I have one, and brought my toys to a friends house and started to create Christmas magic. She was my martini guinea pig and this chocolate peppermint martini was one of our favorites. Seriously, nothing says Christmas more than chocolate and peppermint. The Kris Kringltini was born.

Christmas Cracker Candy

December 3, 2018 by Debbie 1 Comment

Tis the season for Christmas goodies!! Seriously , what is Christmas without yummy treats? I have certain candies I make every year and this Christmas Cracker Candy is always at the top of my list. It is easy and quick so that fits into my busy schedule. This cracker candy I jazzed up a bit with festive sprinkles and mini M&M’s. This stuff is so addictive and believe me it is hard to stop eating . I usually double this recipe since my boys will inhale one pan in 5 minutes flat, LOL. While I love this buttery toffee cracker candy I also always make cookies. Lots of cookies!! Check out a collection of my all time favorite cookies 20 Classic Cookie Recipes.

I don’t know about everyone else but we always have a ton of parties to attend during the holidays. My Mother also told me to never show up to a party empty handed. While hostess gifts are in the norm for most people, in my circle of friends and family something to nibble on is just as important and greater appreciated. Everyone loves food and holiday parties are a perfect place to share.

Snow Day Funday !!! What a better way to celebrate than with Gingerbread Cheesecake Brownies! I know people in other parts of country don’t get too excited about snow but here in southern Louisiana we are overjoyed , it has been around 10 years since snow was here last .We woke up to a winter wonderland on December 8, 2017 , and boy did we have fun. As if it was meant to be my husband and I had a scheduled day off from work so we were able to frolic in the snow all morning with our kids. It was a happy and magical day with at least 4 inches of powdery snow all around us. All the neighborhood kids built snowmen , had snowball fights and laughter was heard everywhere. My youngest son is 13 and he literally stayed outside all day soaking it all in , he only came in for hot cocoa breaks by the fireplace. Gingerbread Cheesecake Brownies was on the menu for our snow day.

During the holidays all the coffee shops sell the perfect warm concoction that just oozes the taste of Christmas. The first time a Peppermint Mocha every passed my lips it was like the skies opened up and I heard angels sing ..I WAS HOOKED!! These coffee shop beverages are so good but not too friendly to the pocket book. When I was coming up with this I wanted something that was everyday affordable and easy.
