Sticky Toffee Pudding
Literally the most delicious dessert known to mankind. Too busy eating to write anything else!
Mom’s Baked Clams
Being of Italian heritage we took the Feast of the Fishes very seriously on Christmas Eve. I have carried on that tradition making baked clams every Christmas Eve.
Cocoroons (Coconut Macaroons)
I’m not much of a baker and macaroons are no easy feat, but I gave it a shot and voila – a little healthy bite of heaven!
Pizza Dolce (Grandma’s Italian Cheesecake)
Pizza Dolce was a typical dessert my Grandmother would make around the holidays.
Thanksgiving Leftover Turkey Enchiladas
If you’re like me and can only stomach one round of turkey leftover sandwiches—this is the perfect way to put your leftover turkey to work in the days following Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Artichoke Dip
The perfect comfort food to snack on before your holiday dinner!
Marinated Black Cod
In complete transparency, this recipe is taken directly from Chef Nobu Matsuhisa. It’s so easy to make at home, but still feels like a luxury meal.
Loema Maxwell’s Sour Cream Coffee Cake
This coffee cake is the perfect way to start your morning. Make it early on during the holiday season and enjoy it each morning, for as long as you can!
