Jam Hands

The holiday season is barreling towards at full speed this year. At least that's the way it feels to me. Baking is on a lot of our minds as the weather turns chilly. In that spirit, today I have a delicious Chocolate Ricotta Cookie recipe to share with you. The ricotta cheese lends to a great balance of dense cake-i-ness. Not too light, not too heavy, but just right. Enjoy!

Super tender, flavorful Italian Meatballs using only ground beef. This recipe makes moist, delicious meatballs. Serve with your pasta of choice and some Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!

This beautiful deep red fruit punch is taken to the next level with scoops of creamy vanilla ice cream. Simple, quick and easy. Enjoy!

Ricotta pancakes have got to be one of the loveliest breakfasts out there. Adding lemon and other toppings like fresh fruit, curds and jams boosts them to heavenly. Leftovers reheat wonderfully. Store them in the fridge if you plan on eating them soon, otherwise freeze them. Enjoy!

This recipe for Chinese Buffet Cheesy Crab Casserole is an indulgent treat. Filled with imitation crab, cream cheese, two types of shredded cheese, lemon zest and crunchy celery and green onions. With an ingredient list like that, how could it not be delicious? Enjoy!

Please enjoy some of the best cookie and candy recipes around. Get started now and make a few batches of cookie dough and freeze them until you are ready to have a baking day. Have a Merry Christmas!
