...cute little snow children!
Yum.
So many yummy things today, thanks! Valerie
Your little snow people are so sweet! I love the holiday desserts too! Thanks for the recipes! And thank you always for your sweet comments on my blog. What a joy you are! Hugs, Diane
I love Christmas pudding and may have to give the low carb version a try
IT LOOKED LIKE ICE CREAM!!!!
Mincemeat pie was always one of my favorites! I'm going to make one this year but won't do a low-carb version, and I'll use mincemeat pie filling from a jar. Yeah, but it'll be more like what I remember from my childhood, so that's my excuse ;)
I love your little snow guys :)
Oh no, none of those for me I'm afraid. I don't eat any festive treats, just don't like them.
Thanks for your comments with me and delicious this dessert low carb I also eat more often! You have great recipes!
regards Elke
These all look good. I need to check them out more carefully -- I could imagine one of these on our Christmas table!
wonderful seasonal desserts!
They do look good.
Such delight! The recipes are tempting. Thank you for sharing. But I need to be extra mindful with the season's indulgence. So, difficult to shed the extra weight. :)
FOOD....and sweets of a sort. Looks great. Dropped by the bakery when I was out and about and I got a fudge pie, the real stuff is in it...SUGAR.
love the lovely girls at the end :)
All of them are very tempting ...
Thanks, Jan! I'll take one of each:)
absolutely lovely recipes!!
Buenas recetas. Un beso.
I would enjoy any of them, Jan. They do all look so festive for Christmas.
All look delicious. My favorite is a minced pie. The quartette of the knitted dolls are also attractive.

They all look so good!
I wonder how many in the States have made or even know they can buy mincemeat? My grandmother made mince pies, but they are an acquired taste. I DO love Christmas pudding though.
You've given me an idea for a Christmas dessert - the Trifle! Nice and cold for our hot Christmas day lunch :) I have to investigate if the jelly crystals are gluten free as my daughter's Mother in law is celiac and I have to take that into account for all our meals while they visit us.
Thanks Jan and have a lovely Christmas :)
So delicious! Mince pies are definitely a favourite.
Now these do look good! I do lke a nice Christmas pud, so that would be the one for me. Take care, Sue xx
All the recipes look delicious!
Oh yummy and different desserts! Love the little dolls in the snow!
Happy Moments to You,
