Celebrating Christmas in Germany and Spritz Cookies

Posted on October 9, 2017 by Kerry

Many of the traditional Christmas foods in Germany are sweets. Spritz Cookies are one of those many. They are mildly sweet and perfect for eating a bunch. We are going to be learning how Christmas is celebrated in the countries of our (the three of us) origin. I’m also going to visit Christmas celebrations in Israel and Egypt. Lucy and my ancestors are from Germany, Sweden, and England. Jamie’s ancestors are from Germany, Russia, Czech and England. Because I am limited on how many posts I have before Christmas, I am going to be posting about Germany, Sweden, Czech, and

I wanted to share with you some of my Simple Rustic Christmas Party decorations. Click on the image above to find where to buy decor or how to make it. I like to keep my decor simple. But I think that makes it easier for

Gingerbread Men Sandwiches with Chai Buttercream

Posted on November 7, 2016 by Kerry

Gingerbread Men Sandwiches with Chai Buttercream is a twist on the classic gingerbread men cookies. These sandwiches are filled with a delicious chai buttercream. These flavor pair so well together. I am loving sandwich cookies lately. I know I’m late to this party. Like with many things in our lives, I wish I had jumped on this a long time ago. These Gingerbread Men Sandwiches with Chai Buttercream are so delicious. I made them yesterday and I have thought about them all day today. The molasses in the cookies pairs so well with the chai buttercream. I can’t stop eating

Candy Cane Popcorn

Posted on December 14, 2015 by Lucy

Candy Cane Popcorn is an easy and delicious treat for any Christmas party, get together, or just a snack while watching Christmas movies. This might be one of my favorite Christmas treats ever. The first time I ever had some was at a my daughter’s Christmas party at preschool, where I ate way too much of it! I had no idea at the time how easy it was to make. And maybe it would have been better to never learn! Warning this popcorn is very addicting and it’s easy to eat a whole lot of it! I’ve seen

Super Easy Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge

Posted on April 29, 2015 by Lucy

This Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge is easy & delicious! Sure to please both chocolate & peanut butter lovers! I normally consider Fudge to be a Christmas treat or at least that’s when I normally eat it. But last night I dreamed about chocolate peanut butter fudge and it was so delicious that I just had to make it! It kind of made me laugh since I’m normally more of a peanut butter tolerator than lover but after the dream, I knew I needed to try it with peanut butter. It’s actually something I’ve never made before but I tweak my

Candy Cane Chocolate-Dipped Wafers

Posted on December 8, 2014 by Jamie H

If you’re looking for a last-minute gift for neighbors, friends, or co-workers, these candy cane chocolate-dipped wafers are perfect! They meet all the requirements of last-minute: they’re quick and easy to make, they’re cute, and they taste delicious! One of the best parts about these candy cane chocolate-dipped wafers is that they don’t require very many ingredients, and they can be made in less than 30 minutes. For the wafer cookies, I usually use Gamesa Chocolate Sugar Wafers, but when I went to the store I was unable to find them, so I picked up these Osem Wafers instead. Both

Ginger Snaps That Aren’t So Snappy

Posted on December 17, 2013 by Kerry

Ginger snaps that are soft and sweeter than usual! I love ginger snaps but I just don’t love that they are hard. I like soft cookies. So when I began making these cookies, I just didn’t bake them as long as you are supposed to. And they are perfect! The flavor without the crunchiness. I also didn’t read the full directions before I made these. So I “messed” them up. But since I love sugar, I liked them better. The recipe calls for 1/4 cup of sugar to roll them in before you bake them. However, I put the sugar

Peppermint Twists and a Cookie Exchange

Posted on December 11, 2013 by Jamie H

Peppermint Twists are a yummy cookie that combines the flavors of chocolate and peppermint. We decided to participate in The Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap this year. It’s a cookie exchange that helps raise money for a charity. This year, it raised $$13,778.40 for Cookies for Kids’ Cancer. However, since there are 3 of us, in 2 different states one of us needed to do the actual cookie baking and sending. So I volunteered. Hey, then I get to do the cookie receiving and eating as well! (I think I was the smart one, on this one!) Initially I thought
