Fifth Dish of Christmas - Cheesecake Marbled Brownies

I made cheesecake marbled brownies for some of my faves for Christmas! I don't eat chocolate but, I have to admit, the kitchen smelled really good while these were in the oven! Mike was dying to sneak a bite!









Merry Christmas girls!

Fourth Dish of Christmas - Sticky Buns

Oh how I love Barefoot Contessa! I made this quick dish for a pot luck breakfast at work. I did not put in raisins or nuts as called for in this Ina Garten recipe. I also made these in mini-muffin tins so they would be snack sized! (To do this, cut the dough in half long ways before rolling and slicing your rolls.)

For some reason I can't get the first picture to upload landscaped...









Also, important... definitely put the second baking sheet under your muffin tin. The butter and sugar will bubble everywhere and end up on your oven floor as my first attempt did!

Third Dish of Christmas - Butternut Squash Enchiladas

Third dish down! My co-worker Kristin brought this dish to work one day... I was definitely skeptical. Squash? Enchiladas? Those two words did not go together in my mind. However, these enchiladas are full of flavor and definitely worth trying. The recipe is from a vegetarian website but I think these would also be good with chicken inside the enchilada. The hardest part of the recipe just might be slicing the butternut squash in half!







Good recipe find Kristin! Get the recipe here!
