A Christmas Giveaway!


I'm doing a Christmas Giveaway! Since it turns out I'm a bit of a holiday foodie, and always looking for new recipes, share yours and I'll do a drawing for this great Chicken Soup book. Who doesn't love a little Chicken Soup, right? Contest ends next Wednesday morning, December 17. If you've already shared, you're already included (Mindi, Libby...?). I know some of my aunties reading have fantastic recipes... :)

Peg - you are one of the best cooks I know. How about your meatball recipe? I still make your french dip all the time!

Laura - that'll do.

my favorite holiday recipes are the pumpkin raisin cookies, a cranberry almond biscotti, and a no-crust pumpkin pie. My second pan of the pumpkin-y goodness is in the oven right now. Mmmmm .. If you want the biscotti or pumpkin one, let me know and I'll email. :)

I Just posted these on my blog, but I copied them here too....

Raspberry Truffle:
1 c. whipping cream
1 tsp. raspberry oil (or extract - but you have to add it to the milk before the chocolate)
4 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips (divided)

Bring cream to a boil. Add raspberry flavoring and stir. Add 2 c. chocolate chips and stir until smooth. Chill in refrigerator. Roll into 1 in balls and chill for 1 hour. Melt remaining chocolate chips in double boiler and coat each ball in chocolate. Refrigerate, serve once hardened. Store in refrigerator.
