If you’re like my family, the go-to meat for Christmas dinner is ham. We always seem to buy too much meat in the Constable household and this Christmas was no different. Apparently you don’t need a 13 pound ham for 4 people? Who knew? I’m not complaining though! Ham is my absolute favorite leftover meat. I think because it’s smoked,Read more

The holidays are over and it’s time for everyone’s inevitable I-ate-way-too-much-so-I’m-going-to-make-up-for-it diet. Although I’m not really one to jump on that bandwagon, I do crave something at least a little lighter the days after Christmas. I think my body feels like it needs a detox from the 20 lbs of butter and sugar I consumed since Thanksgiving. So, at leastRead more

Every baker needs a great red velvet recipe in their arsenal. This is mine. I have tried at least 5 different red velvet recipes, but none of them can compare to this one. It is ridiculously moist (read: lots of oil, but hey, it’s called a treat for a reason) and has the perfect hint of chocolate. Combo it withRead more

Mint meringue cookies are an easy treat that you can put together in just a few minutes, with minimal effort. Most people buy meringue cookies in the store (Trader Joe’s always has a big display by the registers), but you can make them at home for a fraction of the cost with a few ingredients you probably have on hand.Read more

Yay! Today is the last day for my 3-ingredient series and we have Oreo Truffles on the menu. Oreo truffles are a simple dessert to make that appear to be much fancier than they really are. To make the truffle center, you just need to process Oreo cookies and cream cheese together. Easy, right? The you just dip them inRead more

Fudge is a pretty common dessert found in holiday dessert spreads. Many recipes have more than 3 ingredients, but to join my 3 ingredient series, I needed to find an easier recipe. This is it! You can make this fudge in a matter of minutes and it sets in the fridge after an hour or so. Then, just cut itRead more

The next 3 post that I have planned have something in common – they all have only 3 ingredients! I wanted to post a few holiday recipes that aren’t as involved as some of my other treats. I know that a lot of you don’t have the time around the holidays to do the some of the recent recipes I’veRead more

Admittedly, I am going pretty overboard with candy canes this year. I’m sorry if you’re not as big of a fan as I am! Candy canes a) scream Christmas and b) are something that everyone has (or should have) around their house during the holidays. You can easily modify your favorite holiday recipe to add mint or candy canes. LuckyRead more

Chocolate bark is one of those great treats you can set out on your coffee table or counter while people are grazing during the holidays. It doesn’t need to be refrigerated (although if you’re not planning on serving it, you should keep it in the fridge) and it doesn’t go stale quickly when uncovered. READ MORE

This morning I wanted to share a holiday breakfast idea with you – eggnog waffles. They are a great way to incorporate holiday flavors into the start of your day. As an extra bonus, there’s a shot of rum added to the batter. Have I sold you now? Last year, I made gingerbread waffles, but I’d have to say theseRead more
