This recipe is very much inspired by the classic Christmas song, “We Wish You a Merry Christmas.” Even as a child, the lyrics around figgy pudding always perked my ears up.

I have been dessert obsessed my whole life, apparently. So if you are looking for a Christmas pudding dessert, try this easy figgy pudding recipe!

My goal with this recipe was to create a bread pudding-esque cake that heavily featured figs, but also just felt festive. The kind of Christmas dessert you might serve at the end of a fancy dinner.

The batter uses fig jam and dried figs, so if you can’t find fresh figs where you live (I couldn’t), don’t worry! The result is a sweet, nutty mini cake with a lightly spiced syrup.

While this recipe feels like a classic Christmas dessert to me, it does not resemble what would be traditional figgy pudding. My understanding

A typical misconception making the rounds is that constructing a great hen home for your yard or backyard takes several weeks and is tough to do. In all honesty, this couldn’t be further from the reality!

Hi..I hope you’ll be able to help. I live in Riverside Calif. My husband and I are pondering of buying a cell dwelling and placing it on land (we don’t have the land yet). That is still within the thinking stage. The homes listed here are so costly and we thought a cellular dwelling could be the higher different. Can you please inform me which homes you would advocate for us right here in Southern California. I do know you said that you do not need to promote one over one other, however I really don’t where to look. If we do get a cell home, our intention is to stay in that home. … Read more

Meringue cookies always remind me of the holidays; maybe because they look like snow. If you’ve never had a meringue cookie before, they are crispy on the outside with a slightly chewy center. And they melt in your mouth as you eat them. Yum!

Made with only five ingredients, these cookies are simple. You bake meringue cookies low and slow, so they do take a little longer to make. But they are so beautiful that it’s worth it.

Meringue cookies are delicious all on their own, but you can also dress them up like homemade candy by adding melted chocolate and sprinkles or crushed peppermint to the bottoms.

Meringue cookies are also fun to decorate—you can add them to the top or sides of a frosted cake or cupcake.
