Eggnog Muffins with Cranberry Filling 1

Mike sometimes talks about taking a Christmas vacation to somewhere warm, but I have trouble getting behind that idea. I need cold, preferably snowy weather to feel festive.

Growing up in Buffalo, our Christmases were usually white. Not that it was ever a sure thing (because some years we did end up with a mucky brown Christmas!). But it was definitely more likely to be white there than it is here in the DC area.…

This easy-to-make Christmas Morning Scones recipe, aka Vanilla Bean, Nutmeg, and Rosemary-Scented Scones, captures the flavor and aroma of Christmas morning! They have a unique, festive flavor, are easy to make, and will become your family’s new favorite holiday morning tradition. Whatever you do, DO NOT make these scones. I made them, tasted them, and did a double take. (Oh my God, they are the best scones. Ever.) I may have had to sit down and I’m pretty sure my eyes rolled back in my head a little....

Soft and Chewy Peanut Butter Salted Caramels

Soft and Chewy Peanut Butter Salted Caramels with Peanut Butter & Co.® Front View

Soft and Chewy Peanut Butter Salted Caramels are a beautiful balance of sweet caramel and flaky sea salt, with deep notes of peanut butter. We all have our favorite types of candy; that one thing we can’t resist when we see it at the store. Peanut butter cups, cherry cordials, butter toffee, fudge, to name just a few. For me, when I walk by a candy shop and smell fresh-made caramel, it takes every ounce of willpower to resist. That aroma calls me like a siren....

Christmas Morning Cornbread Loaf Cake

Christmas Morning Cornbread Loaf Cake on Wooden Cutting Board

Christmas Morning Cornbread Loaf Cake is flavored with vanilla bean, nutmeg, and rosemary, and studded with cranberries; it doesn’t any more festive! I love hearing about holiday breakfast traditions. Some people do the bulk of the work the night before with something like a strata or bread pudding that just has to be baked in the morning. Others make a huge batch of pancakes or waffles and get the whole family involved. Or maybe it’s the classic failsafe, bacon, eggs, and toast....

Nutty Spiced Pumpkin Crackers {Paleo}

October 23, 2017 by Faith 6 Comments

Paleo Nutty Spiced Pumpkin Crackers on Metal Tray

Nutty Spiced Pumpkin Crackers {Paleo} are a nutrient-dense snack that taste similar to a healthy version of graham crackers. The thing about afternoons in autumn is that they go so well with a warm beverage. And the thing about a steaming cup of tea or coffee is that it’s made even nicer by something to munch on with it....

Tangerine Lemonade with Clove-Infused Simple Syrup and Fresh Cranberries is full of festive flavor and easy to mix up! Special thanks to my friends at Megan Media and Tropicana for partnering with me for this blog post. I am happy for the opportunity to share brands that I believe in with my readers, and I hope you enjoy my recipe. As always, opinions stated are my own. Every social gathering I remember as a child involved my mom’s punch, especially around the holidays. I’m not sure of the exact recipe, but I remember it had two kinds of soda (ginger ale and lemon lime, I think), […]...

Cherry Almond Biscotti {Gluten-Free}

December 16, 2015 by Faith 10 Comments

We all play favorites, whether it’s on purpose or not. Sometimes it’s a favorite song or restaurant or flavor of ice cream. Sometimes it’s a favorite aunt, cousin, or pet. And sometimes it’s something as ordinary as a favorite baked good....

Cranberry-Pistachio Cupcakes

December 1, 2015 by Faith 9 Comments

These Cranberry-Pistachio Cupcakes are sweetly aromatic and soft-textured; from start-to-finish they’ll be ready in just an hour, and it’s perfect if you want just a small batch of something sweet. This time of year has the tendency to get so busy. With Thanksgiving over, our focus turns to Christmas and all the preparation that goes along with it. But a moment of peace, however brief, is a most welcome retreat in December. Even if it’s just taking an hour to make these cupcakes and then enjoying one with a cup of tea. I can’t think of anything more comforting than the smell of something sweet […]...
