Finished a little late, this was meant to be my submission for Holiday Sweets :)

Every Christmas, my husband would make gingerbread cookies with our kids. They would cut them out with dino and traditional gingerbread men cookie cutters. By the end of the evening, the dinos always ended up with 2 heads and the gingerbread men would have dino heads. What silly fun!

For lovers of gluten-free sweets who also like to enjoy these holidays with delicious and very healthy Christmas cookies!

Glühwein, or mulled wine is a staple on german Christmas markets. Most of the time red wine is used to prepare it. But my husband and I are from wine growing regions, which means an abundance of white wines. It is not very surprising that there is a variation that uses white wine for mulled wine. It is easy to make at home. So why not make a lockdown version of it. Make some mulled wine, decorate your balcony with fairy lights and play some Christmas crooners while sipping your white mulled wine bundled in your coat and scarf and enjoying the crisp air outside on your balcony.
