Homemade Hot Chocolate

Recreating my favorite hot chocolate from Jacques Torres — which I used to visit in New York City with my dad for “bring-your-kid-to-work” day. This homemade hot chocolate recipe is an easy holiday drink. Add my homemade marshmallows (without corn syrup), or fresh whipped cream to a rich, decadent drink!

Snowball Cookies

Also known as Mexican wedding cookies, Russian tea cakes, and snowball cookies — I tried these for the first time several years ago, and fell in love. These powdered sugar cookies are decadent! They call for one bowl and lots of butter, and are a great holiday dessert.

Creamy vanilla filling, fresh strawberries, and small little pockets — this week, I’m excited to make an on-the-go dessert. These strawberry and cream hand pies are great for a morning commute or with a cup of coffee. Customize the recipe based on your favorite flavors or try making my version!

Steaming from the oven with tangy icing, these cinnamon knots were what I needed after a long day!
