Last year we hosted family at our house on Christmas Day — all with a brand new baby. After a few moments of minor stress and lots of pacing, I’ve decided that the only way to have an easy, effortless day that I can truly enjoy is to do much of the food preparation in advance. So I started playing around with interesting, festive waffle recipes and landed on this incredibly tasty, fragrant eggnog waffle dressed up for the occasion with spiced whipped cream and a dusting of cinnamon.

Booze is always a good gift. “Nah, I have enough,” said no drinker ever. Just make sure to buy her a bottle she doesn’t already have. Any of these unique options should do the trick.

A note on sourcing: We sourced all of these products at large online liquor retailers, but it’s very likely that they can be found for less money (and no shipping) at a liquor store near you. Also, shipping to some states may be tricky, so be sure to check!

There’s something elegant about the simplicity of shortbread cookies, especially when the flavor and richness of butter and sugar shine through. To give them some wintery flair, we added just a handful of fresh rosemary, making them special enough to go on a holiday cookie plate or package up as a homespun food gift.

Is it just me, or does it seem like all of the talk about fat-loss for the over 40 population is all about pills, powders, and potions?

One of the greatest examples of this is colostrum. Colostrum provides the amino acids a newborn’s body needs, but it also delivers immune cells to pass on the mother’s resistance to disease to a child.
