I love figs. In fact, I have a Pinterest Board called “Getting Figgy with it” which is all sort of fig recipes. This is variation of a fig cake cookie (aka “Fig Newton”), in this case, a shortbread base with fig crumble and almonds. Easy to make, comes together in minutes and a sweet, buttery, nutty treat.

Good morning. Just the CSPS Girl jumping in here with a little coffee cake recipe, in case you are looking for a quick baked-good that you can make the day before. Can be served at room temperature or warmed a bit, for breakfast or for afternoon tea, this Cranberry Orange Coffee Cake with Pecan Streusel is delicious. Don’t have fresh berries? Frozen will do just great in this recipe (keep the berries frozen when you put into the batter) and you can even swap out the cranberries for blueberries or raspberries. Enjoy!

Holiday Fudge Combo 2019:
Salted Honey Almond Fudge and White Chocolate Cranberry Pistachio Fudge
As is my usual routine in December, I try to make some homemade chocolates or fudge as presents for Christmas. This year, I decided to go with some salted honey almond and some white chocolate with cranberry and pistachios. I’d never made white chocolate fudge before, but it turned out nice and vanilla-y. Definitely a treat!
Another little treat that works well as a snack while you’re waiting for the Thanksgiving turkey to come out of the oven, or while watching the ever-present footballs games, or even looking for a midnight snack. These Honey Glazed Mixed Nuts with Chinese Five Spice are sweet, savory, and salty, very sticky and totally delicious. And nut combo will do, but I went with almonds, cashews and pecans. Yummy.
