Calories don't count in December 🍪

Published 11 months ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader!

Hope you're done with your holiday shopping! I always wait for sales, but is it just me, or are there not many good deals this year? As a result, most of what I picked up was at its regular price. Boo.

​

One Good Thing

Today's suggestion is: Donate to a toy drive. There are so many children that aren't fortunate enough to be able experience this season the way many of us do. A small kindness can go a long way.

Christmas Desserts

If you're hosting Christmas this year, you probably already have a main course in mind! But what about your dessert? Here are three options that you don't need too much prep time for.

​Christmas Pavlova​

This is one of my most popular Christmas recipes. Every year in December it sees more readers than it does throughout the rest of the year!

​Easy Pecan Pie​

Don't have too much time but still want something delicious? This recipe uses William Sonoma's Pecan Pie filling for a little extra speed.

​Speculoos Tiramisu​

You can never go wrong with a creamy tiramisu. This speculoos version adds that spiced flavor for a little holiday magic.

Merry Christmas, Reader!

I don't want to bother you with an email on Christmas Day so I'm wishing you today instead.

From my kitchen to yours, wishing you a day filled with warmth, love, and maybe just a few too many cookies. Whether you're surrounded by family, enjoying a quiet moment, or creating your own traditions, know that you're part of the Chocolates & Chai family today.

Sending you joy, love, and the hope that your day is as sweet as my favorite desserts.

​

Warmest wishes,

Riz

SOMETHING SWEET FOR SOMEONE SWEET

​Chocolate Chip Banana Bread​

This is one of the recipes people I meet talk to me about the most.

It's easy, delicious, and low effort. Give it a try and see how you feel!
