I was looking for a great recipes for our final recipe of the year.  So, I decided on my Mom’s Famous Fruit Punch and mini hot dogs in puff pastry.  My mom used to make the punch and hot dogs for all of the holidays.  We always enjoyed having both so I thought I would share the recipes with you.  I wish you all a Happy Holiday & Happy New Year!!

Thank you Lisa for letting me borrow your site every Monday!!

As always, Enjoy!!!

I’m participating in an exciting new project with 11 other New York Times bestsellers It’s called 1001 Dark Nights, and is inspired by The Arabian Nights: Tales from 1001 Nights. 

In the original, Scheherazade desperately attempts to entertain her husband, the King of Persia, with nightly stories so that he will postpone her execution.

One of these novellas will be published each month starting January 2014 until … Read more »
