Potato, Gruyere & Thyme Tart
🎅LG,BE's 12 Days of Christmas🎅 DAY 3 Does anybody else get super excited when they see something with puff pastry? Or is that just me? Puff pastry makes me think of fine-dining restaurants or super chic brunches with the girls. It adds an element of sophistication and really is not too hard of a product [...]
DIY Shrimp Cocktail
❄LG,BE's 12 Days of Christmas❄ DAY 2 For as long as I can remember, we almost always had a shrimp ring for an appetizer as part of my family's meatless Christmas Eve feast. An odd choice some may say, but for kids who were quickly learning how addicted we were to seafood at a young [...]

Chocolate & Raspberry “Trifles”
12 Days of Christmas with LG,BE Day 11: When I think of trifles, I think of the food queen herself -- Nigella Lawson -- explaining the components of an authentic English trifle and how she made it seem like the most perfected masterpiece of all the British desserts that exist. But trifle takes time.. and [...]
Filet Mignon with Peppercorn Cream Sauce
12 Days of Christmas with LG,BE Day 10: An evening winter grill, anyone? I got really luxe with my lobster fettuccine earlier this week, but I also figured it's pretty fair to share a luxe 'turf' option too. In my boyfriend's opinion? That always means FILET + since I'm the 'mastermind behind flavour' according to [...]

White Chocolate & Cranberry Blondies
12 Days of Christmas with LG,BE Day 7: Sure, brownies are pretty awesome... but have you ever had a Blondie? Essentially a regular chewy brownie minus the cocoa powder but that makes it taste like a butter tart instead and it's so dreamy. I recommend that if you plan on making these for your family [...]
