Molasses Cookie Bars with Glaze – Perfect for the Holidays!

Molasses Cookie Bars with Glaze

Molasses cookies are delicious, but one of the worst parts of making them is waiting for the dough to chill. This is an important step for making cookies, because without it the cookies would spread way too much. The beauty of making these Molasses Cookie Bars with Glaze is that they are contained to a baking dish, so spreading is not a concern! These bars only take about 20 minutes from start to finish, and they are great for the holidays!

Honey Bun Cake – Cinnamon Sugar Filling and Honey Glaze

Honey Bun Cake

As far a packaged snacks from my childhood go, Honey Buns and Nutty Bars were definitely my favorite. I had heard of honey bun cake, so I decided to give it a try. When I started looking for a great recipe for this, I realized that none of them actually had honey. I also notice that all of them used a box cake mix. There is absolutely nothing wrong with using a cake mix, but I wanted to have a recipe from scratch, so here it is! Now it’s time to get to work on a Nutty Bar dessert!

IMG_5074

Pork tenderloin is one of those things, to me, that can either be delicious or dry and bland.  I find that a lot of recipes end up being the latter.  I honestly shy away from making both pork tenderloin and pork chops most of the time, because I feel like they usually leave something to be desired.  After coming up with a pork chop recipe that I was very happy with, I decided to work on a tenderloin recipe as well.  This recipe is actually loosely based on our favorite way to have deer tenderloin.  I changed it up a little, and we were very happy with the results!

Spiral Ham with a brown sugar, honey and dijon glaze.

The first time I hosted an Easter brunch at my house, I was terrified because I had never prepared a ham. It has always been one of those things that my Nanny took care of, and she does it so well that there really isn’t a need for anyone else to know how. After we moved out of state though, we started hosting different holidays at our house and I had to learn quickly. I found a recipe similar to this one online somewhere, and it has evolved into this Spiral Ham with a Brown Sugar, Honey & Dijon Glaze.
