Calories don't count in December 🍪

Published almost 2 years 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!

Yes please.

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.

Ho ho ho!

Speculoos Tiramisu

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

Get the recipe!

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
