Our New Years tradition involves friends, food and drink, and board games.  For this year's beverage treat, Jeff mixed up a pitcher of Toxic Tang which he first discovered at a local restaurant.  If you're not put off by the toxic look of it, read on to find out how to make it.  Advanced warning, we don't have it down to a science.

One of the things I absolutely love about the holidays is getting to eat "home food." Home food typically consists of dishes that never taste the same outside of my parents' or Grandma's house as well as a few local restaurant dishes. One such "home food" that screams Christmas to me is Grandma's red cake. We each have a piece for dessert after Christmas lunch and tend to fight over the leftovers in the days after Christmas.

Every year my parents and I make up some tasty treats to give to neighbors and members of the choir at church. This year, I was inspired by my friend, HK. She made chocolate covered peanut butter cracker sandwiches to give away as party favors for a birthday party. It tastes great for a rather odd combination. Needless to say, I stole her recipe and made up a bunch of these to hand out. Want super easy instructions? Read on.
