Because some people just like to eat cookies (and other holiday treats)...


Diane can cook and bake, but maybe you don't like to! Some people just like to eat the finished product and there is nothing wrong with that. This post is meant to give you an idea of all the great holiday treats out there for purchase or even semi-homemade.




I'm clearly a huge fan of this bakery; one bite and you'll know why! From the cupcakes and sugar cookies to the brownies and cake bites, these treats are gourmet with the homemade touch you're craving. They do mail order and have a store front in Provo, Utah.




I love this mail order company (with an outlet in Park City). Known best for its pristine hand picked fruits; my favorite are their pears but anything from Harry & David makes a great gift. If you're lucky enough, you'll get something sent your way this season!



Working from the philosophy of giving pretty delicious foods, you're definitely going to want to get some of these classically French pastries this season located here in Salt Lake City, Utah.



For those of you who don't know, our dad was Panamanian. During Christmas, as children, our tia would make tamales. For many others in the Latin world, it's not the holidays until you have your first tamale. We'd also recommend Rico's Market sweet corn tamales too!


Beehive Cheese

They say the best cheese is in Wisconsin or California, but Beehive Cheese here in Utah is definitely a contender! In fact, Williams Sonoma now carries a gift basket featuring their rich, buttery cheeses; my favorite: Barely Buzzed, a full-bodied cheese with nutty flavor, rubbed with ground espresso coffee and crushed lavender buds.

So, instead of just buying substandard grocery store cookies that you pass off as your own, show someone you really care by getting them a great food gift. Tell us some of your favorite treats that can be bought this holiday season!

Another great gift are V Chocolates. They make the most delicious toffee and caramel apples, and it's a local company. They sell them at Emigration Market and Cucina in the Tiffany-blue boxes. They're my favorite!
