This Cinnamon Broken Glass Candy is such a classic candy. Everyone will love it and it's sure to bring back memories! I have a thing for food resembling broken glass. Like Broken Glass Jello.

Butter Spritz Cookies
Butter Spritz Cookies are a classic cookie that are so easy to make. Christmas cookies are always the best! I recently received my great-grandmother's cookie press. I love it.

Easy Cinnamon Rolls with Eggnog Buttercream Frosting
I am in love with this treat. I created it and it's fantastic. If you don't like the flavor of Eggnog (rum), then you can can use milk instead of the eggnog and vanilla extract (or other flavor) in place of the rum extract. The great thing about this recipe (other than the frosting) is that it uses Rhodes frozen bread dough. Just put the loaves in a greased loaf pan, cover with plastic wrap, and stick into the fridge overnight or at least 12 hours to thaw. Then just pull it out and roll out and … [Read more...]

S’mores Fudge
Fudge is...not my absolute favorite holiday candy. It's too rich and sugary for me. I know, weird huh? I just can't eat a chunk of fudge easily. This fudge is better.

Egg Nog Bread
This Eggnog Bread is incredibly moist and incredibly addicting. Beware if you make this-you're gonna have to hide it from yourself or make mini loaves and just keep one out and freeze the rest. Very true story. I saw this on my pal Tina's blog Mommy's Kitchen and knew I had to try it. This is one of those recipes that grabs my attention. A-because I love bread; B-because my whole family loves Egg Nog; and C- I don't like Egg Nog, but love stuff made with it such as the Egg Nog shake at … [Read more...]
