My wife loves St. Patrick’s Day. It might be because she’s Irish, but I think it has more to do with the traditions, namely the food. In the past, we’ve shared with you the recipe for the best corned beef and cabbage you can make (I’d like to point out that that recipe came from…
Make Ahead Snickerdoodles
We thought we would share one more make ahead recipe. If you liked our make ahead molasses cookies, you’ll probably dig these, too. I love snickerdoodle cookies. Something about the buttery cinnamony goodness that just makes me think about the holidays. My only issue with snickerdoodles is that they can sometimes be a little, well,…
Raspberry Hazelnut Dark Chocolate Bark
Jeff informed me on Sunday that there were 10 days left before Christmas. What?!?! Christmas always seems so far away to me, and this year is no exception. We finished most of our Christmas shopping on Sunday, which, truth be told, was kind of an accident. I think we intended to go out for a few…

Festive Christmas Nut Mix
There are many distinct flavors that people associate with the holiday season. Peppermint, eggnog, pumpkin, cinnamon, and cloves are a few examples that come to mind.

How to Poach Eggs
If you asked someone what the most difficult way to prepare an egg is, odds are good they will tell you that it’s poaching. Poached eggs are something that many people only order when they are out, and would never dream of preparing at home. It really doesn’t have to be that way. In fact,…
Homemade Caesar Mix
I remember the very first Thanksgiving that I ever spent with Crystal’s family. Well, I remember most of it anyway. See, Crystal’s family has a tradition on Thanksgiving that I think is pretty awesome. While the food is being prepared, everyone gets together to enjoy each others company while also enjoying a Bloody Mary or…
Homemade Pimento Cheese
What is Pimento Cheese? Well, you know, it’s that peach-colored spread that comes in a small glass jar with a blue lid, right? That’s right, if you’ve only had the version that comes in that glass jar. I grew up thinking that Pimento Cheese only came in the glass jar. It wasn’t until I was…
