No secret....I LOVE to cook...in addition to writing..it is stress relief for me...and a creative outlet as time allows...we cook very little with a book and more often by taste and modification of a recipe.

  Never have been much of a baker...My Mom was a great yeast dough baker...home made bread, cinnamon rolls....I can smell them now...a "from scratch" speciality of hers. 

    Lots of times ....most especially now...there seems to be more entertainment time and less time to prepare.  Thank you Trader Joe's for your assortment of appetizers and "fixings" for them...appreciate the time saving you give us without sacrificing...mmmm....delicious !
    Here is a very quick and easy dessert....or with coffee...as an "ice cream ornament" kind of  addition you can prepare in minutes and they keep well iPomegranate cookiesn the fridge. The recipe is from our friends at Taste of Home...and your guests will love them ! 

    Two Ingredients...!   Just Pomegranate Seeds... and you can have your elves separate these while watching TV.... and stir them into  melted chocolate chips...and chill in the fridge pretzelabout an hour on sheets of foil or wax paper. Serve in cupcake papers...this time of year lots of colors/designs available to brighten your table.  A little bit tart...a little bit sweet.  While you have the melted chocolate...dark, light or white you can also go the sweet and salty route and dip mini pretzels or pretzel rods with sprinkles.   There you have it...fun to dip and drizzle...easy to make....and sooo good...the pomegranates are even good for you with lots of vitamin C,

potassium and fiber...what a way to get nutrients...mmmm !

        ENJOY !  From the Kitchen of Hansons Both.

Morning Sally.

Just finished my first cup of coffee.  This sounds like it would be good, care to take a guess on what I'll be looking for, at our local grocery store today?

These do sound easy, Sally, and luscious... and I'd be happy to help eat some of them... but make them myself... I don't think so!

Thanks for the tips, Sally.  I will share this with my wife and see if she puts me to work with the pomegranate seeds.

Good morning Sally. I'm not surprised you love to cook. Baking is different though. I'm not really comfortable with either. I enjoyed this anyway. :)

Hi Sally and David- never thought of putting pomegranate seeds in chocolate!!!  I wonder if I could get my Elf, Larry, to separate them.

OMG, that sounds divine - pomegranate seeds or blueberries...either one, DIVINE, Sally!

Like you, cooking is my therapy and like your Mom, baking is my specialty. I have been trying to cook healthier in recent years and am moving into the entree and sauce 'chef' status instead of baker. It saddens me but, not that many people will consume the baked goods I enjoy making any more! 

Happy Wednesday and thank you for sharing the bake-free dessert ideas.
