Christmas cookies!  It’s safe to say that the little kid in all of us perks up at the thought of baking those Christmas cookies just in time for the big guy to arrive.  Growing up, we always stuck to a classic family recipe; sugar cookies with no frosting, but a whole lot of sprinkles.  (Well the first cookie sheet usually received a lot more attention and patience than the rest… so we always had a few pretty plain cookies by the end.)  Still to this day, my family enjoys the classic recipe, but with their own spin on it.  My aunt makes them extra thin for a delicate bite, and my mom always lets them be a bit cakier for a soft, almost bread-y bite. Either way, biting into those sugar cookies still marks Christmastime every year for me!

I know we’re usually sans-frosting when making our cookies at home, but I realize thanks to Pinterest that there are so many absolutely stunning and super tasty sugar cookies out there.  So I rounded up a few of the best Christmas sugar cookies for Santa in the slideshow above.  Simply click on the image and don’t be surprised if you’re licking your lips before you’re through!  Cheers, Kat

Okay so I know I’m pushing it with the whole Fall thing since figs are only in season for a tiny bit longer, but I just had to share a roundup recipes using this gorgeous fruit. If I ever had a crush on a fruit, it would be on fresh figs.

Thanks to Pinterest, I found myself pinning one recipe after another.  A fig’s deep, rich color is utterly eye-catching, especially when a fig is placed on a charcuterie board, on top of a cake or sprinkled on a salad.  After some digging, I quickly learned that grilling raw figs will give you a sweeter, fuller flavor that’s super juicy.  You can enhance its flavor, too, with caramelized sugar, and pair it with a rich goat cheese or salty meat to give your taste buds a treat. Figs have also been grown and enjoyed since ancient times, which as a quasi-history nerd, I was loved finding out.  Click through the slideshow above to find 11 fresh fig recipes that you should fix up before the end of fall. Enjoy!  Cheers, Kat
