Hello 2015! I’m back and wanted to start the new year with a recipe. Even if you are not into new year’s resolutions, you may have over-indulged (like myself) over the holidays. January is the month, most of us are trying to start or get back into a healthy routine. Instead of fighting my sweet cravings I prefer to indulge in a healthy way. For example, with my raw & vegan Brownie Bars.
Can you believe that it is almost Christmas? Like every year I don’t know where the time has gone!
I wanted to save my most Christmassy recipe for last: Gingerbread truffles. In my book nothing says Christmas like Gingerbread. The aroma of gingerbread spices filling up your home (and tummy) and the sweet and spicy flavors tingling your taste buds.
Christmas is very close and it is time for recipe Number 3: delicious and festive Toffee Nut Truffles! Today’s recipe is inspired by Starbucks’ ‘Toffee Nut Latte’, a long-time favorite of mine! Although it has received some serious competition by the delicious ‘Chestnut Praline Latte’ I had for the first time in New York this year. Another festive drink Starbucks has deprived us of in Austria!
It is time for Christmas recipe Number 2! This year Starbucks has brought a new Red Cup flavor: Honey & Almond Hot Chocolate. It is an indulgent drink that will definitely satisfy your chocolate craving and is also a bit more festive for the holiday season. If you would rather eat this chocolate treat than sip it, I have an easy recipe for you! ;)
Maybe you have already guessed from my previous post what this year’s Christmas recipes could be? Starbucks brought back four Christmas beverages this season and I wanted to create a cake recipe for each Red Cup flavor. To make it more fun and festive, I created a cake ball recipe so you can eat and enjoy your favorite Starbucks flavor with your coffee at home.
Remember my post about Food Blogger Connect a little while back, where I met Farrah from Moose Maple Butter. Well ever since I tried her delicious organic butter flavored with real maple syrup, I have been thinking what I could bake with it. Maybe overthinking a bit too much and that may be the reason why it took me so long to come up with this recipe :)
