Fruit And Nut Cake - Making Holidays Special

Cakes are one of the most favorite delicacies for people all over the world. People enjoy cakes on all sorts of occasions. It is also worth mentioning that cakes are not new but centuries old. Christmas is one of those occasions when the biggest and heaviest cakes are made. A definite reason cannot be established for why you prepare the heaviest cake on Christmas, but it is a really enjoyable for everybody. Fruit and nut cake is one special type of cake that has been the favorite of people for long. Similar is the case of fruit and nut log, which are snacks, made from some real dry fruits.

Most of the times, people presume that they can enjoy a fruit cake only at Christmas time. This is not the case though. Basically, making a fruit cake is a long job and requires a lot of patience. This is because all the fruits and nuts to be added to the cake need have to be soaked in either rum or brandy for a few days beforehand only. Another alternative that you have at your disposal is to reach the nearest confectionary store and buy a cake. Though, it is very widely known that a homemade cake is far better than the one bought from market.

Another fact worth knowing about fruit cakes is that in many countries you can eat Fruit Logand cakes only during holidays. Also at many places, people try to avoid the use of alcoholic beverages such as rum or brandy in preparing the cake. They generally prefer fruit juices so that the cake can be eaten by even those people who don't drink alcohol.

Eating cakes on special occasions have become a tradition now. This tradition has seen a lot of changes lately. People are getting more aware of their health and physique. People are always on a look out for healthier snacks but that doesn't means that fruit cakes have lost their sheen in anyway. Also, fruit cakes have an advantage. A piece of cake that has been prepared in alcohol would stay fresh for almost a year so you don't have to worry about the cake getting stale or anything as such. All you have to do is to enjoy your piece of cake.

St. Patrick’s Day {Eats}

Here’s to some fun St. Patty’s Day eats!

Irish Beef Stew – Delicious!  One of our favorites.  Get the recipe here. 

Irish Soda Bread – One of my all-time favorite quick breads.  Makes even better French Toast!  Get the bread recipe here, and the French toast recipe here. 

Dark Chocolate Mint Brownies – Rich dark chocolate brownies {made with applesauce} and creamy minty buttercream frosting with Andes Mints.  Don’t be fooled by their lack of color, we just skipped the dyes! Get the recipe here.

Very Green Soup – Although nothing in this recipe is traditional to St. Patrick’s Day, it’s green – naturally, without any dyes.  Love this soup.  It’s fabulous served with that soda bread too.  Get the recipe here.

Labor Day Must-Makes!

The tail end of summer is just around the corner.  Even though we’ve started another academic year, it’s still hard for me to believe another summer has passed us by. 

Of course, like most of you, we will seize grilling weather until the snow flies… but, Labor Day is one of the last summer gatherings with family & friends. 

If you are looking for something fun to take to your BBQ, here are our suggestions:

Roasted Green Bean Potato Salad
{This is a family favorite – especially with the garlic dill sauce!}

Tomato Cucumber Pasta Salad
{This pasta uses your garden cucumbers & tomatoes … and feeds a crowd!}

Beer Brats
{Boil those brats in beer before your grill them… trust me.}

Grilled Smokehouse Maple Chicken Fajitas
{Do something a little different – build-your-own fajitas!}

Personal Grilled Pizzas
{This is a really fun way to customize your dinner – each person makes their own!}

Grilled Potato Fries
{To cook these faster, par-boil the potatoes! These are simply the best!}

Crockpot Baked Beans
{Because everyone loves baked beans!}

Corn on the Cob
{Either on the grill, or an easy, silk-free version!}

Easy Refrigerator Pickles
{Have cucumbers? Make 1 batch of these & you’ll be the hit of the BBQ!}

Ice Cream Cake with Raspberry Sauce
{Celebrate the end of summer with an ice cream cake!}

Strawberry Brownie Layers
{Yep. No introduction needed}

Berry Lemon Trifle
{The perfect way to use up those summer berries!}

Toasted Marshmallow S’more Bars
{Not going camping?  No bon fire?  You can still enjoy s’mores!}

Chocolate Chip Zucchini Cake or Cupcakes
{Super fun for kids – make up some whipped cream & let them frost their own cupcakes! Not to mention, they’ll get some veggies too!}

Hope this inspiration is helpful!  What are you making?
