Peanut Butter Cup Cookies, a miniature Reese's Peanut Butter Cup pressed in the center of a warm chewy peanut butter cookie right out of the oven. My Mother made these when I was growing up, especially at Christmas. They still remind me of the times we spent together in the kitchen during the holidays. I have continued to make them for my own family through the years and they have become a favorite cookie for our Christmas Gift boxes.

Homemade buttery pecan coconut frosting is piled on top to complete the Iconic German Chocolate Cake that is loved throughout the holidays. For me German Sweet Chocolate anything screams Holiday flavor. There is no substitute for the classic main ingredient in this German Sweet Chocolate Cupcakes, Baker's German Sweet Chocolate Bar.

It has that distinct sweet flavor that comes from the Baker's German Sweet Chocolate Bar.

Sage Pork Tips and Rice Dressing
Sage Pork Tips and Rice Dressing with all the flavors of Thanksgiving. The pork tips are cooked low and slow in the oven with mushrooms and onions and a sprig of fresh sage and thyme nestled in the broth. I grabbed a large package of pork tips and our local Sam's this past week at a terrific price. I like to cook half of the package and then freeze the rest, but this time, I decided to cook the whole package. The temperatures here in Northeast Texas are getting pretty chili, so I couldn't wait to cook something warm and comforting. We love beef tips, and I wanted to use the same cooking method, low and slow, as I do with them. I cooked the Pork Tips in a 300 degrees F oven for 2 hours.

MAPLE SYRUP PECAN PIE Classic Pecan Pie made extra special with the addition of pure maple syrup and baked in a flakey pie crust. Pecan Pie is Jim's favorite pie any time of the year, but definitely around Thanksgiving. This past week, I made a pear dumpling cobbler with enough pie dough left over to form a single pie crust. So I decided to make a pecan pie for Jim since he loves them so much, but when I got ready to make it, I didn't have enough corn syrup. But I did have some maple syrup. The maple syrup sounded so good, but Jim is the same old classic pecan pie kind of guy. He doesn't like me to change his likes too much. So I surprised him with an Old Fashioned Pure Maple Pecan Pie.

They are buttery slightly sweet served as an accompaniment to pork, garnished in a winter salad, but also makes an elegant dessert for a fall dinner party, bridal brunch and quick weeknight snack.

As much as I like pears, I do not wish to mask the pure flavor of the pear with a lot of other intense flavors. When I eat pears, I want to taste pears.
