Only a few more days to Christmas and I’m getting super excited! Here’s my holiday recipe roundup of 15 delicious and easy recipes from the past two years.

Glühwein – German Mulled Wine
It is freezing outside! Below 30F here in NYC and I can’t think of anything better to keep me warm than Glühwein, a German-style mulled wine. One of my favorite recipes of 2011, see the original recipe with updated images below.
Christkindl markets, or German Christmas markets, are street markets with various stalls celebrating Christmas time. Glühwein, literally “glow wine” or German mulled wine, is served at special stands at Christkindl markets throughout Germany and Austria. Mulled wine is a traditional warm beverage combined with different spices, red wine, citrus fruits and sugar. It fills your house with a wonderful aroma and warms you up on a cold winter night. Serve this festive drink during your holiday party!

To get this shake thick and creamy I added in some guar gum, a natural thickening agent available at health food stores or online.

Summer Rosé Sangria
Who doesn’t love a delicious sangria during the summer? It’s so easy to make and super refreshing. I’ve made a few red wine-based sangria recipes in the past but I wanted to change it up and try to recreate a recipe from a restaurant we went to recently (if you’re ever in NYC, try out the amazing Sangria at “The Standard Grill” right under the High Line Park).

You’re probably tired of my oh-so healthy green smoothies?? 🙂 – so I decided to switch it up a bit and make an all fruit smoothie. Simple, satisfying and with a ton of strawberries, this creamy deliciousness is the perfect way to ring in the summer.
