Cranberry Pinenut Biscotti with a white chocolate drizzle





I love to have a biscotti with my tea in the afternoon or even first thing in the morning. Also, one of my favorite cookies to send to a few special people in my life is biscotti .....just a little bit of JJ in a neat little package tied with a red bow! When it arrives, it is intact, no breakage, perfect for shipping!

Raspberry Ribbon Pie






This delicious and quick pie is a throw back!! Yes, it was very popular when I was growing up and everyone loved it! My Mother used to make this every Thanksgiving and Christmas. Some times she even made it in Summertime for a special treat!  With the traditional Christmas colors, ease of making and taste...it's perfect!!

Perfect Maple Manhattan


 

“A COCKTAIL IS A STIMULATING LIQUOR, COMPOSED OF SPIRITS OF ANY KIND, SUGAR, WATER & BITTERS.”

'Tis the season to eat, drink and be merry! There are so many parties this time of year, so much fun!! 
 One of my favorite Winter drinks is a Manhattan. I kicked it up a notch this year and I can tell you, this is delicious! This Manhattan has a sweet fiery kick and it's the perfect way to end a day and start a Happy Hour!
