Two From Galilee
I love this book. My sister in law Kristin was reading it a few years ago and I borrowed it and read it right before Christmas. It added so much to my Christmas season. It is about the love story between Mary and Joseph and it made the Christmas story come to life and made me see things in a whole new way. Highly, highly recommend it. I plan on starting it tomorrow. That's my goal. After I clean my house.
These cupcakes are a new favorite. My friend Genevieve put them on her blog and made them for me once. I have made them several times and each time feel like a Martha Stewart rock star. I also love the cookie dough recipe. No eggs! I can eat it guilt free while pregnant! And eat it I do. Your taste buds will love me, your thighs, well...
CHRISTMAS FONDUE
My friend Mindi would make this fondue at her Christmas party every year during dental school. Amazing. I have made it the last two years here in Texas and it makes me miss her, and all our dental school friends. It is so good, and so easy.
2 packages of cream cheese, softened.
3/4 tsp salt
3/4 tsp garlic salt
1 1/2 cups of milk (whole milk makes it even better)
3/4 cup parmesan cheese
Beat cream cheese and salts. Mix in milk (will be lumpy). Pour mixture into pot, cook on med-high, stirring constantly. When lumps are gone, add parmesan cheese. Continue cooking until parmesan is thoroughly mixed in. Sauce will thicken upon standing. Serve with french bread, cut into pieces.
CARMEL APPLE CIDER
My sister Sara is one amazing cook. Everything she makes is delicious. She made this for us one year and my holidays haven't been the same since.
1/2 cup cream
1/2 cup brown sugar
6 cups apple juice
bring cream and brown sugar to boil over med hear, stirring constantly. Add 6 cups apple juice, stir until warm.
Whipped topping:
beat 1 cup cream and 1 TBS brown sugar until thick. Top cider with cream and toffee bits (or a crunched up Skor bar)
*I like it better without the toffee bits. I also loooovvveeee this drink cold. If there are leftovers, save them and drink it for breakfast the next day. It will guarantee a good day.
Hope you enjoy these as much as I do! Merry Christmas!

Michelle I bought that whole series and read the Two from Galilee every Christmas since you introduced it to me. I always think of you when I read it and have shared the books with my family. Thank you for always sharing your favorites with your friends.
