Did You Receive a Kitchen Gift This Holiday?
This Christmas, did you find the KitchenAid attachment that you've been wanting under the tree? Or perhaps receive the edible gift of your dreams?
Before the holidays, my friend Daisy presented me with some scrumptious peppermint bark, and I was elated!
Off to Market Recap: Christmas Plate
When I was growing up, we had a special Christmas plate that was reserved for serving Santa Claus. Every Christmas Eve, my sister and I would take the pretty plate, place the most perfect cookies on it, and set it out by the tree. To relive old memories, I went looking for the long lost plate.
6 Uses for Christmas Leftovers
Christmas is over, and you're left with crumbled wrapping paper and way too much of last night's Christmas feast. Instead of eating cookies until you're blue in the face, transform your holiday leftovers into dramatically different gourmet dishes. To see some of our ideas, read on.
Happy Holidays!
On behalf of YumSugar and myself, I wish you and your family a very fabulous holiday! May your souffles rise and gravy thicken. May your roasts be succulent and your cakes moist.

Perhaps you were a little overzealous with the holiday grocery list. Or you decided to stock up on it since it's only around once a year. Either way, you've wound up with way too much eggnog.

Spread Holiday Cheer With a Bûche de Noël
I've been dreaming of classic Christmas desserts, so this holiday, I thought I'd bake a bûche de Noël. Rather than opting for excessive designs and detailed accessories, I made a modern cake roll that looked (and felt) effortless. My guests couldn't get enough of the moist, light mocha sponge cake, which was a nice contrast to the sweet and nutty German chocolate filling.
How Many Holiday Parties Are You Attending This Year?
Since corporate holiday parties are at an all-time low, I thought I'd take an unofficial poll to find out how many parties you'll be attending this season, if any. This count includes company-sponsored functions, house parties, tree trimmings, and Christmas Eve dinners, or any other holiday-related events. Did you still throw a party of your own?
Can You Match the Country to the Christmas Dinner Tradition?
Fruitcake, gingerbread men, eggnog: for Americans, the mere mention of these bring to mind yuletide festivities. Other parts of the world, however, have different dishes that hold similar meanings. Do you know which dishes are customary to eat in other countries celebrating Christmas?
Definition: Panettone
Panettone
A cylindrical, domed Italian dessert bread, panettone originated in Milan and is traditionally enjoyed during Christmas and the New Year. Like fruitcake, the fluffy bread contains candied citrus peel and raisins; however, the bread's natural leavening process, which requires dough to cure for several days, means panettone is difficult to recreate at home.
