MY GRANDMOTHER’S FAMOUS “CHRISTMAS CRACK”

Christmas Crack has been a staple in my family since before I was born. My grandmother would make it every year during Christmastime and coined it “crack” because it is just that addictive. Even after her passing in 2017, the tradition lives on through my mom—this dessert takes as much time to make as it takes to disappear at any holiday celebration. Everyone is going to want in on this delicious and crunchy treat!

Indian Cassata. I love thee.

Thank you for the memories and for being the sole reason I inhaled my dinners and ran to the corner of the street toward a mustachioed man who awaited customers, on a pushcart with an ice box, holding you safe and cool for me. And then you emerged in style, cold smoke and all oozing around you, teasing me with a peek of your toasty pistachios on a crescent-shaped slice of joy.

Irish Nog

Our Irish Nog is the perfect festive tipple for the holidays. As a batched cocktail, it is ideal for a party and bottles up for a lovely gift. In perfecting our recipe, we started with a traditional Coquito recipe and gave it an Irish twist with Jameson Whiskey and Bailey's Irish Cream. Flavors of cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and a hint of coconut make this cocktail the perfect fireside sipper. Since it is egg-less, it lasts 4-6 months refrigerated in an airtight container so it's easy to make ahead for holiday entertaining.
