These make a wonderful homemade christmas gift. Caution! Friends and family will expect these treats years to come.
This is one of the things that remind me of Christmas.
They are addicting, so throw the diet out the window.
Quick, easy, and delicious (at least according to my family and co-workers!). I especially like to serve this on Christmas
All vegetables are fresh, except frozen peas. Do not cook anything. Use small cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes whole. Cut cheese in small square pieces. Chop up veggies, put in gallon size ziplock bag, add dressing and cheese and marinate for at least one hour.
This is my latest idea for my Christmas Eve dinner while the family is feasting on some festive dishes I can’t eat. If you like, add cheese, nuts and olive oil to your pesto, they’re on my no-no list, so I use pasta water and nutritional yeast.
Curious about the lack of potatoes in this dish? In Europe, Asia and Africa, chestnuts are often used as an everyday potato substitute, and I took that as a cue when I was writing this recipe. You will need shelled, boiled chestnuts for this recipe. Slice either a horizontal slash or a large X along the flat side before boiling. Cover with cold water, bring to a boil, and simmer for three minutes. Peel off the shell and skin with a sharp knife. As they cool, they become more difficult to peel, so keep them in hot water until you are ready to peel them!

Put on your Red Velvet Cake or any favorite cake or brownies. It is so simple & delicious without the fat & guilt.

Eggnog is a staple in my house every year during the holidays. It is one of my weaknesses which is why I know I should stay as far away from it as I possibly can. I found this recipe, but tweaked it just a little bit to lower the amount of calories that it has.
These are best served straight out of the oven, when they're still a bit gooey inside from the delectable cheese. You can't just have one though- consider yourself warned.
In early Atlantic Canada, the "lassy mog" was a classic home-baked treat. Its charming name is derived from the local dialect for the region's widely used sweetener, molasses ("lassy") and a small, low-rising cake ("mog").
