Christmas time is the time I find myself pining away for our old life in Berlin the most. Why? Christmas markets. I introduced you the “Weihnachtsmarkt” (aka Christmas Market) in this post last year where I shared with you a recipe for Christmas market “Glühwein” (mulled wine). But even with my “Herrnhuterstern” from the market hanging … Read more

I’m back! And in hopes that you will forgive me for my brief absence, I bear gifts of fudgy, flourless brownies topped with a fluffy peppermint cream cheese frosting and studded with the delicate crunch of candy canes.
