Holiday – Kate and Kathryn

Marshmallow Frosting

This frosting is delicious and sets like a soft marshmallow (as the name describes). The technique for this recipe is along the lines of an Italian meringue but with the addition of marshmallows giving it a nice stability. I will for sure be reaching for this in the future but will add a splash ofContinue reading “Marshmallow Frosting”

Chocolate Lovers Cookies

This recipe being a toll house recipe is unconfirmed. I did my light research and didn’t come up with any tollhouse recipe that matches this one. So, either this isn’t a tollhouse recipe or it’s from one of their cookbooks. Either way, I enjoyed these cookies quite a bit. I had to make up myContinue reading “Chocolate Lovers Cookies”

Pecan Tassies

I enjoyed these cookies more than expected they’re crunchy with a little chew and the spicesContinue reading “Gingersnaps”

If you want to bring a dessert that looks impressive but takes minimal effort I urge you to give this one a try.

Brazil Nut Pilaf

It has come to my attention that not everyone likes brazil nuts. I however love them, when we make chex mix during the holidays I always add extra to mine. Now, I will urge you to give the brazil nuts a try even if you think you won’t like them. They don’t have a prominentContinue reading “Brazil Nut Pilaf”
