Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Cookies
Christmas baking can be incredibly nostalgic. Anytime I bake peanut butter blossoms or mini cheesecake cookies, I imagine being about 8 years old, in the kitchen of my old house, watching my mom bake. I can feel the carpet under my toes, I can see the floral painting on the wall, and if I walk around the corner, I can see the silver and blue garland wrapped around the staircase. There are certain recipes that flat-out have to be made during the holidays, or it’s just not Christmas. Then there are cookies and treats that have been made occasionally, but somehow fall through the cracks some years. These peanut butter cup cookies fall into that category, although how that ever happened with me around is absolutely astonishing. This is one of the easiest cookie recipes you’ll find, and it’s one that will have people going crazy. I dare you to try to wait an appropriate amount of time before popping at least two of these in your mouth.
Grilled Potato and Goat Cheese Napoleon with Balsamic-Basil Vinaigrette Recipe : Bobby Flay
Directions Put the potatoes in a pot of salted cold water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, but still firm, 12 to15 minutes. Drain and let cool before cutting each potato in 1/2-inch-thick slices. While the potatoes are cooking, combine the vinegar, garlic, mustard, basil and 1/2 cup of the oil in a blender and blend until smooth. Heat your grill to medium. Brush the potato slices on both sides with the remaining 1/4 cup oil and season with salt and pepper. Carefully transfer the potatoes to a flat surface. Transfer the potatoes to a platter, drizzle some of the vinaigrette on and around the potatoes, and sprinkle with the chives.

Jumbo Shrimp Stuffed with Cilantro and Chiles Recipe : Food Network Kitchens
Directions Prepare an outdoor grill with a medium-high fire. Without removing the shells, slit about 3/4 of the way through the shrimp down the ridged back and remove the vein that runs down the center. In a food processor, pulse the garlic, jalapeno, scallions, remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt to make a coarse paste. Cook's Note: Shrimp cooked in the shells are more intensely flavorful. Jumbo shrimp in the shell can be a knife and fork sort of deal unless you're outside and it's summer and you are feeling very relaxed.

Peanut Butter Bars Recipe
What is it about Peanut Butter Bars that make the world just feel right. Since Little Buddy was just a wee one, we’ve been making these peanut butter bars together. He’d sit on the edge of the counter, swinging his feet as we poured all of the ingredients for the peanut butter base into a large mixing bowl to mix it all together. His favorite part of making these peanut butter bars has always been to dump the confectioner’s sugar into the bowl, the cloud of white sugar dust bringing out his contagious giggle every single time. We celebrated his visit to the orthodontist by making these yesterday. Over breakfast, he told me that he sure did hope he didn’t have to have the device reinstalled until after his birthday. “Honey, that’s over a month and a half away. To which I received an eye roll and a sideways grin. As we walked into the orthodontist’s office, I gave Little Buddy’s hand a tight squeeze and told him it would be over soon enough. And Little Buddy had gotten his wish. Lucky duck!
