Christmas Treats that are Amazing even in February!

I helped put together a recipe book for a Christmas Present this year. Here are a couple of recipes that were put in said book. These recipes are delicious all year round - seriously.

Delicious Peanut Butter Chocolate Square Things

Oh, hello there, Food Blog. I just re-remembered that you existed. Again. To make it up to you, here is a recipe for peanut butter chocolate square things.

Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake

Wait...wha? *looks around* oh yeah, I have a food blog.

Maybe I should work on that.

Well, here's a recipe for Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake.

Chocolate Crème Brûlée and Bailey's Chocolate Mousse with Minty Whip Cream

Or: How I tried to murder my pancreas over Easter.

So, I figured out how to make Chocolate Crème Brûlée. It uses all the same ingredients from my previous Crème Brûlée, but with a couple of variations.

Crème brûlée

Did I say cheese crackers next time? Ha ha, no. Well. I lied. Sorry. Instead let's try something fancy.

Orangey Cake

Do you like oranges?

Of course you do, everybody loves oranges. Do you not love oranges? Well. That's too bad, because this recipe is all about oranges. Not just the inside of the fruit, mind you. This recipe includes the rind, the peel (which is the same as the rind...I think), and those little white string-y bits, too (except for the one in the middle of the orange. That thing is gross). With this recipe, you use the whole orange.

Plain Vanilla Cookies

Before I start, perhaps I should explain myself: until very recently, I was unemployed. Having nothing to do all day besides apply for jobs, I decided to learn to cook. Up until this point, I was a useless cook. I was not good at cooking, and sometimes had trouble making pasta that came in a box. But with nothing else to do during the day I started experimenting with cooking. I came up with a bunch of weird things - some delicious treats, and some miserable failures (never again shall I attempt coconut cream pie. I'll just buy one next time). However, through some cosmic miracle I got a job, and rather than fall back into my old habit of "never cooking ever," I figure I'd start a blog as some sort of incentive to keep on with my cooking experiments. This may or may not work. I may lose interest. But it would be nice to record some of the details of my more successful (they don't cause food poisoning!) creations.
