Happy Holidays!
Holidays are the perfect occasion to escape from that diet of yours and enjoy all your favourite foods. The smell of baking at our homes and cooking together with our family makes it even more special. There is nothing better than treating your family with some delicious festive snacks and holiday cheer. Here are a few of them to try:
- Cookies: Whether you are planning a party or just a cosy dinner at your home, cookies are the first option that comes in our mind. Cookies are also favourites among children. It can be a chocolate, vanilla or ginger cookie. There is a cookie for every taste bud. You can even involve your children to decorate the cookies.
- Donut: A donut is a ring-shaped sweet snack made by frying dough prepared with flour and then rolled and topped with glaze, cream, chocolate, cream etc. Donuts were originated in Dutch and then brought to New York. Donuts are quite famous in America and there is a day called National Doughnut Day celebrated in the United States in June every year.
- Chocolate Cake: Loved by children and people of all age groups. Baking a cake makes everything alright. A little baking with lots of icing and cream makes for the perfect flavours for this holiday season. Rich cheesecakes, the traditional fruit cake and red velvet cake are some of the variations you can try with fun fillings, decorative designs and jaw dropping layers will make for a perfect package to add up on your dinner table.
- Cupcakes: A fun twist to the traditional cake to show off your baking and piping skills with different frostings and sprinkles makes up a cupcake. Cupcakes can be made depending on the occasion. For Christmas one can make a Christmas tree themed frosting, candy snowflakes and decorations. Cupcakes are usually under rates but with the right flavour and toppings they are an irresistible treat.
- Traditional English Trifle: This classical English dessert has It all! Its fruits and creamy at the same time. Layered with cake, custard, sweet berries, jelly and whipped cream. If this doesn’t make you hungry, nothing will. This dessert will leave you asking for more. Traditional English trifle will be a hit with your guests and is a joy to share.
- Chocolate Fudge: An easy and not so time consuming dessert. It can be prepared with no baking too. One just needs some basic minimal ingredients; dark chocolate, milk, butter and dry fruits (optional) and yes you are good to go. You can add what flavour suits your buds but just remember to balance them out. This dessert is great for people who are starting out and are novice with their cooking skills.
To sum up, the holiday season is all about enjoying with your loved ones. You can never go wrong with it to lift up mood, spirits and bring up cheer during this season with good food and scrumptious desserts. Happy Holidays!
