Sweet Holiday Thoughts

Monday, October 15th, 2007

For the holiday season remember to serve specials like Pecan and Cranberry Cheese Tart. They are traditional desserts for the Thanksgiving table. Have your portions already prepared for easy serving. Fresh brewed Columbian coffee is a wonderful companion for this beautiful after dinner salute.

Other wonderful thoughts that float around are gourmet Truffle Cakes which are flourless and Kosher Certified for a festive Chanukah  celebration. Included in the fun can be a lavish Chocolate Chambord Cake with just the right amount of raspberry liqueur.

Great gifts for the holiday season are chocolates and sweets such as; English Toffee, Chocolate Covered Shortbread Cookies and Truffle Bars. Suggestions for serving at get-togethers is a portion each on it’s own napkin to avoid stickiness on the hands.  Club soda is the perfect beverage to accompany sweets like these. They make great stocking stuffers. Send them to loved ones across town or across the country. Include a gift note and don’t forget to call.

Add a beautiful candle to illuminate the room. Aromatherapy can keep people calm and in the moment. It is a good way to get your guests to relax.

For all of the fun make sure to keep safe and aware and joyous and have plenty of dessert and coffee on hand.
