It’s a hot cocoa {with marshmallows} kind of snow day. If my boys could have their way, every day would be a hot chocolate kind of day. But today was special because we took part in the age-old ritual of playing in the snow until we couldn’t feel our toes and then warming up by wrapping our hands around a mug of steaming hot chocolate.

Especially when cut into hearts, these chocolate coconut almond date energy bars make a nice little gift for your Valentine. And because I feel like we have been living in a sweets-saturated world since Halloween they are a welcome healthy Valentine’s Day treat.

This one-ingredient eggnog ice cream is much quicker and healthier than a custard-based eggnog ice cream. In under 30 minutes (or the time it takes to churn the ice cream), you can have a creamy, not-too-sweet frozen treat made with low-fat eggnog.

These sparkling sugared cranberries are simple to make and can be used in so many ways: as a garnish for desserts and beverages, as gifts, and as sweet snacks, to name a few. A couple of them dropped in each champagne glass made our Christmas cranberry mimosas beautiful and festive.

Though it wouldn’t be classified as a “snow” day in most places, my boys were excited nonetheless to see the first flakes of the season quietly dust their backyard the other day. The exciting occasion, ushering in a magical season, called for a special winter breakfast.

I have had the opportunity to work on the Pass the Prosciutto – Gluten Free Holiday Entertaining campaign through Prosciutto di Parma. The Consorzio del Prosciutto di Parma (the organization that certifies this ham from the hills around Parma, Italy and gives the brand of ham its quality seal of approval) is celebrating 50 years although the tradition of making this ham is more than 1,000 years old.

As popular as red velvet cake (and red velvet everything) has become, I don’t remember ever having red velvet cake as a kid. I do, however, have a vivid childhood memory of gasping with girlish delight as they cut into the armadillo cake in the movie Steel Magnolias. I guess ever since then I’ve had red velvet cake on my mental baking list.
