Home-baked Christmas cookies have been part of a tradition in our home- Christmas memories, with recipes passed down through generations. The kids have even helped (and everyone certainly helps with the eating!).

There are plenty of recipes available for these, but this is the one I use. Having it written in weights makes it quicker to make! Another timesaver: Trader Joe’s carries blanched almonds. (We used to blanch ’em ourselves- much more work…)
We’ve been doing a taste-test of these caramel apple oat bars at The New Deli… what fun! It’s nice to have a Granny Smith apple tree, producing some nice, organic apples. We know just what to do with those!
Whip the whole eggs until fluffy- easier than separating out the whites… Also, mix the cocoa powder into the honey 1st, which removes lumps. A plus: Honey fights allergies & infections- whoot!
Need a fast, easy, delicious birthday cake? It’s even almost healthy, w/toasted hazelnuts thrown in. (Nutella, watch out.) Perfect for a small celebration!
A New Deli fave! Easy to make that mint layer if you melt butter 1st, then add other ingredients. It’ll make a stiff “frosting-dough”. Top w/ bittersweet chocolate. So good!
Even my skeptical son enjoyed these. A mix of frozen strawberries, coconut, and honey, dipped in bittersweet chocolate (just coconut oil, butter, honey, and cocoa powder). So good!
Stuck in the kitchen wondering how cookie-decorating took so long?! Or- the kids lost interest & left you with the work? THESE cookies are easy for all, but so fun, with a simple, embossed design…
I don’t want to save egg whites in the freezer- I just want a recipe that uses the whole egg! So I came up with this recipe, which uses the egg whites leftover from making Lemon Curd, in the cake.
Ginger’s great- helping w/inflammation &blood sugar/serum cholesterol/cortisol levels. Not that I’m chowing down on Gingerbread cookies for health reasons. Easy decorating w/fruits & nuts tho!
