Almond Cookies

Cookie exchanges are very popular during the holiday season and it is always a challenge to come up with new and different cookies for each exchange. I saw this recipe on a morning talk show a really long time ago and I have made it almost every year since. These almond cookies are so delicious…almost like a shortbread, which I love. Not to mention they go great with coffee!! 

Elf on the Shelf – Adventures in Elfing

The Elf on the Shelf is back or in our case the elves are back for more fun adventures this Christmas season. Eddie has been with our family for many years now and Ella joined in the fun a couple of years ago while we were in Germany. Cookie, the reindeer and Buddy, the Saint Bernard are now in on the action, as well. It is just one big Elf party!!

Jello Fluff Recipe

Holidays are a great time for family memories and sharing meals with our loved ones. Every family has their own traditions and favorite dishes that they love or have at all holiday gatherings. One of my families most requested dishes is my Mom’s Jello Fluff. She has made it in many different flavors; raspberry, lime, orange, strawberry, the possibilities are as endless as jello flavors. Usually, I make the fluff with raspberry jello, but orange is delicious too. I am guessing my Mom started making it because my brother and I would not touch cranberry sauce and it has been on our holiday table ever since. I make it every year now too since it doesn’t seem like a holiday without it!
