Holiday Recipe Heaven: Day 5 - Homemade Egg Nog

Well, it's Christmas Eve. I know many of you are still working, and depending on your industry, this may be the busiest time of year at your job. Here is the last Holiday Recipe Heaven post. Cooking for Seven's non-alcoholic homemade egg nog is perfect for creating your own classic holiday brew.

Holiday Recipe Heaven: Day 4 - Chocolate Caramel Marshmallows

For the fourth day of Holiday Recipes Heaven, I'm bringing you a kid-friendly dessert idea. One Charming Party's recipe/tutorial for these Chocolate and Caramel Dipped Marshmallows is easy to follow and the resulting sweets are perfect for kids' picky palates.

Holiday Recipe Heaven: Day 3 - Double Chocolate Peppermint Biscotti

 

Later today, I've got a fast favor presentation idea inspired by H&M's holiday ad campaign, but first let's check out today's recipe. It's the third day of Holiday Recipe Heaven and I must say BHG's Double Chocolate Peppermint Biscotti is simply wonderful, because you can store them for up to three months. So, you can make a double batch now, and freeze some to get you through the winter.

Holiday Recipe Heaven: Day 2 - Pear Cranberry Hand Pie

Yesterday, was the first day of the Holiday Recipe Heaven series. Today, I'm back with a fabulous spin on mini pies. Food & Wine's Pear Cranberry Hand Pie is a self-contained, flaky wonder. Isn't this pic by I Want the Pie just gorgeous? As genius as this idea is, it's made even better because the recipe calls for a store-bought crust.

Holiday Recipe Heaven: Day 1 - What Katie Ate

With only five days until Christmas, you might not have time to gather all the necessary supplies for some of the 10 Days of Craftsmas projects, so this week I'm introducing Holiday Recipe Heaven! Each day this week, I'll feature another delicious, holiday dessert recipe that you can bring to the table as you gather with friends and family. 

The first post in this week's Holiday Recipe Heaven involves several sweet recipes. The latest issue of What Katie Ate premiered last Friday, and it's a Christmas-themed, delicious page-turner. All of the articles aren't dessert-related, but there are enough cookie recipes and chocolate truffles to make any sugar addict happy.

Although the 490+ page magazine can be a little bit daunting to tackle in one sitting, it's worth it for the pictures alone. Check it out (click on the second picture here to see the mag) and let me know which cookie you like best. I think the macadamia cranberry cookie sounds yummy.

Tomorrow, I'll be back with another delicious holiday recipe that you can whip up this week.

Week In Review & Holiday Recipe Heaven!

Hopefully, you liked a few of them enough to try them yourself. In all the hustle and bustle, you may have missed some really great features, so here's a list of last week's highlights.
