Giving gifts to others is a fundamental activity, as old as humanity itself. Yet in the modern, complex world, the particulars of gift-giving can be extraordinarily challenging. In my view, the best gift is one that benefits both the receiver and the planet. So let me propose three categories of gifts for this holiday season that I believe meet this standard. First, there are specific, person-to-person gifts that I feel would be appreciated by almost anyone: A box of high quality dark chocolate: Good dark chocolate (with at least 70 percent cocoa) really is a healthy treat you could consider, especially for the women on your list (chocolate consistently ranks as the number one craving among women).

And then there are gifts that you give to the larger world. Happy holidays! Happy Holidays from Janis Ian and crew! Holiday Cheer!! « Offal Good.

Ten years ago my friend Nancy gave each woman in our small group a beautifully packaged container of Puppy Chow aka Muddy Buddies. This was the first time I had ever had this “crazy good” treat.

There’s no such thing as a bad time for cheese, but celebrations and gatherings are prime time for cheese. The quality of cheeses made in and imported from Europe and has improved exponentially in recent years. New distribution channels enable Americans to eat cheeses from the smallest, great dairy farms in . But for those who prefer their food to have as small a carbon footprint as possible, the quality of American-made cheese has never been higher. Europeans—even the French—are embracing American cheese and for good reason; our cheeses now have the depth of flavor, nuance and clearly articulated overtones that distinguish the finest cheeses in the world. Notwithstanding all this, shopping for great cheese is still often a haystack-needle proposition. Most Whole Foods nationwide carry a superb inventory of cheese as does Dean & DeLuca, Cowgirl Creamery’s retail outlets and several smaller boutiques.

Holiday Snickerdoodles Recipe from Betty Crocker. Candy Cane Christmas Tree Cupcakes. I went to a Christmas party last weekend that ended up being the inspiration for these decorated cupcakes. The home of the party was filled with sugar and pink and the absolute sweetest decorations. Wait until you see. I’ll show you soon. Maybe tomorrow. But back to cupcakes. Anyway… Christmas Tree Cupcakes. They use sugar cones for the base of the tree.
But no, I wanted them to be smaller … (go figure)… and stand above the cupcake with candy cane stems. Just like this. But, just a little plain I think. So, I tinted some fondant and made little presents to go under the tree. See… I think I could have stopped here and they would be just fine. Instead, I added some pink, blue and white confetti sprinkles for decorations. What do you think? To decorate, you’ll need: Cupcakes Sugar Cones White Candy Melts White Sugar crystals Frosting Pink Sugar crystals Candy Canes Fondant Icing colors (I used Wilton Dusty Rose & ) Snowflake Sprinkles Confetti Sprinkles Either way… enjoy!
