These seem to be everyone's favorite holiday candy recipe. Could be the melt in your mouth texture, or perhaps the sweet peppermint taste. Could also be the fact that this is the easiest candy recipe around! If stored in airtight container, these can be frozen for a couple months.

Traditional Mince Pies
Mince pies are a British Christmas tradition. My brother gave me this recipe for these delicious homemade mince pies so I decided to share this wonderful recipe with you.
Greek Flank Steak and Veggie Salad
Tomatoes, onions, and cucumbers (yes, cucumbers!) roast along with the Greek flank steak, creating a crunchy, juicy salad that just begs to be topped with feta.
Vegan Berry and Apple Crumble
This is one of my favorite vegan desserts that takes very little time and effort. In order to make the crumble topping vegan, I use coconut oil instead of butter. The coconut oil must be solid so you might need to put it in the fridge for a while to harden up.
