Garlic Butter Shrimp

Melt butter, lightly sauté the garlic, then add the shrimp with lemon juice, salt, and pepper, cooking until just tender.

Cook until the shrimp turn pink, then garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Spinach and Feta Stuffed Pastry

Roll out the puff pastry, cut it into squares, and spoon the spinach-feta filling into the center of each piece.

Seal the pastry, brush the tops with egg wash, place them on a baking sheet, and bake for about 15 minutes until golden brown.

Chocolate-Dipped Pretzels

Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, then dip the pretzel rod into the melted chocolate.

Top with festive sprinkles, then set on wax paper to cool and harden completely.

Gingerbread Mug Cake

In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together the milk, molasses, oil, and sugar until smooth.

Microwave for 1–2 minutes until risen, then finish with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Loaded Nachos

Spread tortilla chips on a baking sheet, then layer with black beans, cheese, and jalapeños.

Bake in a preheated oven for about 10 minutes, then finish with sour cream and chopped green onions.
