I just had a little gingerbread house making party. I need to work on my icing. But I got to thinking, while I was washing my sticky hands, that since I haven’t been madly posting Christmas recipes this year, I thought I’d share some inspiration from the past.
Easy Christmas Cookies – So many possibilities with just one batter.
Gingerbread Castle Bundt Cake – Pretty as a centerpiece and also useful if you want to impress your friends. Or if have a strange castle mold lying around.
Moroccan Lamb and Beef Stew – It makes my heart go pitter patter. Especially on a cold day. It will make yours too.
Holiday Punch – This will knock your socks off. My family had a Christmas party at Tulipwood this weekend and I hear that everyone’s socks were indeed knocked off.
34 Morton Street Specials – For when you want to delight people with your appetizer skills. Or when you just want something sublime for lunch, you can make a large version.
Have you been to any Christmas parties this year? What was the best thing you ate?

Gingerbread houses are harder than they look.

I hate to link to my own recipes but I made this ricotta dip that was fantastic: http://www.ingoodtasteblog.net/in_good_taste/2010…
And I loved this olive tapenade: http://www.ingoodtasteblog.net/in_good_taste/2010…
Both were great lighter options to serve along with heavier finger food.

Thanks for sharing, we always need inspiration from the outside around here!
