Would you believe me if I told you that meals in my house, this month, have consisted of sweets and eggnog? I may or may not be exaggerating. Probably not cool since this dwelling holds a diabetic and a girl who needs to lose a few {ahem} pounds.
I’m blaming it on birthday month! And, I had a good excuse for indulging over the weekend- my actual birthday and a celebratory get-together with Thom’s fam. His sister and I share a birth day. And nothing says Happy! Happy! like a tray of goodies.
Peppermint Biscotti Bites {after the first bake I cut the loaf in half lengthwise and then sliced each half into bites}
Chocolate Marble Cake with Ganache
And…the best find of the week- Eggnog fudge. Two words: A-mazing. Seriously. I thought I was done with the stuff for the month but I came across this recipe clicking through Twitter {Bake With Butter} links.
