Perfect for a cold winter night or a holiday gathering. Just having this simmer on the stove makes it smell like the holidays. My sister Suz made this for our Lighted Boat Parade Christmas Party we had several years ago. It was a huge hit. The spices with the wine makes such an enticing aroma, the whole house just smells like Christmas and is such a fun drink to serve on New Years.

Day 11 of 12 Days of Christmas is better than a Reeses Peanut Butter cup. Perfect for a cookie exchange or gifts for your friends and neighbors. My sister makes these Peanut Butter Balls for our family every year and I cannot resist them when she brings them to our Christmas Eve dinner.

Day 10 of 12 Days of Christmas is one of my favorite appetizers from my mom. My mom would make these on special occasions and I just love them. So many fond memories of my mom with all these Christmas recipes.

Day 9 of 12 Days of Christmas highlights a traditional Polish Nutroll recipe. Generally this is an Easter traditional sweet bread (Polish Easter Nutroll Recipe), but my mom would make these for the neighbors and friends every Christmas instead of cookies. If you are looking for a traditional Polish recipe, this is the one you want. So delicious.

Day 8 of 12 Days of Christmas is another delicious cookie recipe for your holidays. Nothing beats chocolate and peppermint with these Peppermint Chocolate Cookies. Simply scrumptious.

Day 7 of 12 Days of Christmas shares it’s day with my father, Bill who turns 90 today! Yes 90!!! Not only is he turning 90, but he is also an amazing home chef. This Grilled Lamb recipe is one of my Dad’s favorite recipes. Hopefully you can grill this Christmas and share this recipe with your family.

Day 6 of 12 Days of Christmas is just in time for you to make the most classic Christmas cookie, the rolled Christmas sugar cookie. This is not your sugar bomb cookie. Instead it’s a lightly sweet tender cookie that has been a staple in my family since before I was born.

On Day 5 of Dish Ditty’s 12 Days of Christmas Recipes, we bring you our Decadent Dark Chocolate Mousse Recipe made without raw eggs!

Day 4 of 12 Days of Christmas Recipes is one of my favorite “fancy” dinners to make at home. This Beef Tenderloin with Gorgonzola Sauce is an elevated steak dinner and is perfect for a special Christmas Dinner.

If you are like me, you are missing Starbucks’ Michigan Cherry Oat Bars. But fret no more, you can make them at home.
