Eggnog Cut Outs
Cut outs are like the quintessential Christmas cookies. I have so many different recipes for cut outs from my Grandma’s White Cookies which produce a puffy light cookie to Gingerbread cut outs that are crisp and fragrant. We all have different things we look for in cut outs. When I first thought about making these…
Toffee Butter Cookies
Yes, I am still feeding my family something other than cookies and candy during the holidays. Tuesday was Day of Giving.

Chicken Divan
I normally don’t post on Saturday or Sunday but I didn’t have enough hours in the day yesterday to post this Chicken Divan dish that we had Thursday night so I wanted to make sure I got it in today. A few months ago I made a Pork Divan because what I thought was chicken…
