Christmas Quote

Good morning friends, the countdown is on, it’s just 6 days until Christmas Eve. The stockings are hung, the presents are wrapped, the meals are planned and now we wait for the miracle of Christmas. I have lots to share with you so grab your hot chocolate and settle in for a nice long read. 

Food

Bear Claw Pastries on a plate

I’ve been talking about these Bear Claws for weeks, so I thought I would share the recipe just in case you want to make some at Christmas too! I will be attempting these on Christmas Eve, I will let you know how they turn out. I made this overnight cinnamon roll bread last year and it is scrumptious!

Gingerbread Cupcakes with Buttercream icing

If you are looking for a last minute dessert, try these Gingerbread Cupcakes! 

Fleur de Sel Truffles

Do you like truffles? If so, these Fleur de Sel truffles are delicious and I think these   Coconut Truffles from Wild Wild Whisk would be as well. 

What are you having for Christmas dinner? We are having ham but after seeing this recipe for Brown Sugar Dijon Pork Loin I might change the menu. 

I am going to make this Christmas Sangria on Christmas Eve.

Cookbook

I also got Christmas Feasts & Treats and there are so many great photos and recipes. Again, I ordered this book at TjMaxx for $14.99.

    Those gingerbread cupcakes look so good! As do the truffles. I'm finding this Christmas to be bittersweet when so many have died from Covid.
