While we’re playing catch-up with the recipes I made and never sat down to write up, I may as well feature my 2021 holiday addition!

This recipe is quick, easy, and an absolute crowd-pleaser. It makes enough to feed four with leftovers, and the sauce is a perfect, creamy blend of sweet and salty. Be sure to purchase the canned coconut milk from the Asian food aisle and NOT the stuff in the carton that you put in your cereal.

Most of the cookies I’ve been making this holiday season have been either family favorites that date back to at least when I was a kid or they were requested by people dear to me. These ones, though, are a different kind of nostalgia hit for me. My dad loves spumoni, which is a style

That’s right, you heard me. They’re peanut butter cookies, and they’re stuffed — WITH CHOCOLATE!
