Steps:

  1. Start by making your mascarpone cheese mixture. Place all your mascarpone cheese into a mixing bowl, add granulated sugar and vanilla extract to taste, and mix well.

*I found mascarpone that already had coffee added to it, but regular mascarpone will do fine, too.

*If you like your tiramisu extra sweet, add more sugar, if you like the bitter coffee taste, add less or none at all.

*You can also add heavy whipping cream to your mascarpone. This will make it much lighter and fluffier

  1. Next, make your coffee mixture by adding espresso (or just really strong regular coffee) with your chocolate vodka

*You can also add coffee flavored vodka/ liquor if you prefer.

  1. Once these are ready, start your first layer of tiramisu by dipping your ladyfingers into your coffee mix and placing into a serving dish.
  2. Once all your ladyfingers are spread out evenly, place a dollop of the mascarpone cheese mixture into the middle of your cake and spread evenly.
  3. Repeat for another layer of each.
  4. Sprinkle cocoa powder (or finely blended chocolate chips) over your top later to finish.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours before serving

*This helps let all the flavors meld and makes for a more consistent texture throughout.

  1. INDULGE! :)

Matcha Green Tea

–> CLICK HERE TO WATCH<–

Ingredients:

Powdered Matcha Green Tea

Boiling Water

 

Steps:

  1. Fill a mug with water and microwave until boiling.
  2. Put a quarter of a handful of your matcha green tea powder in a bowl.
  3. Pour a little bit of your boiling water into your mixing bowl and whisk vigorously back and forth until mixture gets bubbly

*It helps to whisk in a “W” pattern instead of an “O” pattern.

  1. Add more boiling water from mug into bowl and continue whisking until most of the powder has dissolved and mixture has a frothy film.
  2. Add the rest of your water to bowl, give one last stir, then pour back into your mug.

*The whole mixing process should only take about 5 minutes.

  1. Let cool, and enjoy! :)

Poached Pears

  1. Peel skin off of pears and slice all but one down the middle

*Only let it reduce to about half its original volume, no less.

I remember watching our old VHS of The Nutcracker over and over and over again when I was a child. I was deathly afraid of Drosselmeyer, the mysterious magician-like figure who I thought was ever so creepy. I loved, however, the beautiful dancing and costumes of the ballerinas, princesses, and of course, the sugar plum fairies.

Besides The Nutcracker, my favorite thing around Christmas time was the abundance of candy, chocolate, and cookies we had lying around our house.  I have fond memories baking all kinds of delicious German cookies with my grandmother, Omi. Over the years I got VERY good at sneaking raw dough into my mouth when she wasn’t looking, but before I became a pro, she would often times catch me with chipmunk cheeks full of nothing but sugar, butter, and eggs. Omi would then scold me, begin laughing, then taking a nice big spoonful of raw dough for herself.

This year I decided to combine both of these Christmas memories into one simple and delicious treat. These sugar plum cookies not only remind me of some of my favorite childhood moments, but they satisfy my relentless craving for desserts and are perfect for serving at holiday parties.

 

I hope you try this fantastic recipe and enjoy the holiday spirit throughout the whole month of December.

Until next time! :)

Chicken fingers are definitely one of my favorite childhood dishes. I remember ordering these with a side of French fries almost everywhere my parents would take me… even if they weren’t on the menu! (I was an only child for seven years so I was a tad bit spoiled—and chubby.)

I thankfully grew out of this narrow mindedness when it came to restaurant choices, but I cannot deny the fact that I do still quite enjoy these tasty little suckers.

I particularly love this recipe because it puts an adult twist on the standard chicken fingers meal you may find on your local kids menu. Parmesan chicken is a traditional and very popular Italian dish that goes great with Caesar salads, any kind of pasta, or even sandwiches!

You’ve just got to try this super easy and very delicious recipe that your kids and whole family will devour! I will feel so sad for you if you don’t. Truly— there is a lot to be loved about this very versatile meal!

Special thanks to Mikey Thomas, Melissa Nelson, Missyplaymate3 a.k.a. Rachel, and DrPapufu8923 a.k.a. Joel for sending in this request!

 

Happy Eating! :)
