Hot Cocoa Mix – Nothing beats a great mug of hot cocoa!

Peppermint Marshmallows – These marshmallows go perfectly with a mug of hot cocoa

Peanut Butter Caramel Corn – Caramel corn makes a great gift. This stuff has just a hint of peanut butter flavor

Spiced Meat Rub – You can rub this on any kind of meat for delicious results

I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 






This looks delightful! Especially for this snowy Boston weather today 🙂

It’s snowy here in Cincinnati too. Not quite as snowy as Boston, but I’m not complaining about that!
This looks great! I love rutabagas and parsnips, especially in stews!

I was glad to try a recipe with rutabaga!
I hope the cruise was fun! This sounds like a great winter dish.

We had a blast on the cruise – wish we were still on it!
