Winter Broccoli
As the rest of the country hunkers down for a winter storm, I am outside harvesting a beautiful crop of broccoli. Home Grown and Organic, they are so sweet. This year the heads are huge!
I see some Broccoli Soup in my future.

Champagne Punch
At my Christmas Party we all share some of our favorite dishes, but I have to say the hit of the party was my Champagne Punch. The punch bowl station always had a crowd around it and definitely was the talk of the night.

Savanah's Santa Letter - Easy Ginger Snap Cookies
My daughter had to write a letter to Santa for her English class and I wondered if I still had it. As I was reading it I got a big kick on how she insist that she is still good and cleans the house when her Mom ask her to, then came the list of toys. You can see the teachers corrections on the letter, which concerned Savanah that Santa wouldn't read it, I assured her that it won't be a problem and we "mailed" it off.
In our house Santa Loves these Ginger Snap Cookies.

Every Day Should Be National Brownie Day! - The Very Best Brownies
If I have time, I love to decorate my brownies in gourmet style, however, they are also good with plain frosting, sprinkled with powder sugar or even no frosting at all. These were made with Christmas theme colors.
These gourmet decorated brownies can be somewhat challenging to cut neatly without the right tool. I personally use an 8" Stanley drywall knife (I know sounds weird but I bought it specifically for this purpose and it works beautifully). I like the leverage given by the handle. They do sell professional slicers but this is what I like.
