My Favorite Holiday Recipes & Homemade Gifts!
The holidays are upon us. Many of you will still be trying to come up with dishes to serve at your own parties or bring to parties. Maybe you’re looking to create homemade gifts to give, and holiday projects to do with your children while they’re off from school.
This week, I’ll be posting some of my holiday favorites since I started blogging back in 2009. I hope to offer new ideas that will become your holiday favorites for years to come.
If you were not a frequent visitor to At Home with Vicki Bensinger since its inception, you may be viewing these for the first time. I hope you like what you see.
Today I’m going to share with you…….
My Favorite Gifts from the Kitchen:
Chocolate Raspberry Balsamic Truffles
Cranberry Orange Pistachio Biscotti
Homemade Platter to Gift with Treats
Each of these recipes can be made and ready in plenty of time for the holidays. If you have any questions please feel free to post your comment or email me. I’m always happy to help.
Hi, I’m Vicki Bensinger! I have been teaching culinary classes throughout Missouri since 1992. I offer personalized private culinary classes for individuals and small groups in the comfort of your home or organization.
So many goodies Vicki, I wouldn’t even venture to pick a favorite, although I can almost hear those Salted Chocolate Caramels calling my name 🙂
Oh and those caramels are delicious Chris. You should give them a try.
Vicki, this is a great holiday gift roundup, I love those homemade vanilla extracts. The festive cookie stand is a beauty too.
The cookie stand is by Patience Brewster. It comes with a beautiful lid but I didn’t purchase it since most of my cakes are too tall. She makes incredible pieces. Glad you like my round up. I hope you have a chance to make the vanilla. It’s so easy and so inexpensive. You’ll find you will always keep some on hand.
Don’t you just love cooking and baking at this time of the year? So much good stuff to make and eat, and so little time to do it! Loads of good suggestions here – thanks so much.
I hope you have the chance to try something.
All great ideas!! I wish the Christmas season lasted a little bit longer so I had time to try everything!
Who says you can only have these things on Christmas? I make this stuff year round. I hope you’ll try something.
You are one busy woman! What a great assortment of gifts and goodies! Might just have to make those biscotti for me. 🙂
They’re one of my favorites – year round!
