Home for the Holidays

To celebrate being home for the holidays with the family I decided to create some lovely treats to share.  First, Chocolate Truffles as stocking stuffer.  Second, absolutely fabulous bread rolls to go with the Christmas Eve dinner.  Third,  White Chocolate Peppermint Ice Cream Zo-O's for Christmas dinner dessert.  These may have been my personal favorite.  The refreshing peppermint from the candy canes was stunning with the creamy white chocolate!  I will definitely be making more Ice Cream Zo-O's!  Fourth, the light and fluffy elegant homemade Marshmallows.  These are such a treat to make and even more to eat!  To go with these Marshmallows I used my Christmas present, Mexican Chocolate, and made delicious Mexican Hot Chocolate.  And to top it off, I also made loaves of Golden Raisin Toasted Pecan Bread with Dried Cherries to give to friends and family.  Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

Holiday Update

To begin our upcoming holiday season I decided to make a Cranberry Golden Raisin Walnut Cinnamon Challah Bread, Double Chocolate Oreos, and a delicious batch of Cherry Almond Chocolate Biscotti's.  What a mouthful!  My Cranberry Golden Raisin Walnut Cinnamon Challah Bread is made with fresh cranberries, California golden raisins, and a local vietnamese cinnamon.  Not only does this make wonderful toast, but creates an aroma in the kitchen like no other.  The Double Chocolate Zo-O's with a Vanilla Bean Cream with a steamed milk is just what you need will snuggled up in snow.  And last but not least is the Cherry Almond Chocolate Biscotti's with a White Chocolate drizzle.  There is no better way to begin this white winter wonderland season.  Happy Holidays!
