Starting the Friday after Thanksgiving, our house turns into cookie baking central. From the annual Girl Scout bake sale to benefit families in need to packages sent to loved ones far away to just plates of cookies to enjoy throughout the holidays, I love baking lots of different types of cookies.

One of our major traditions is hosting an annual holiday party each year in December. I made TONS of food and we invite all of our friends and family over to spend time together and relax. I used to make mini pecan pies but they were a lot of work.

I don’t know about you but I feel like November just completely flew by. Halloween seemed like days ago and here we are a week away from Thanksgiving. Crazy! Of course, I can’t complain but so much because this is my favorite time of year. I definitely look forward to time with family and friends and my favorite holiday recipes. I’ve gathered over 20 amazing ones for you so get ready for your mouth to water.
With all of the heavy dishes that come with the holidays, I always look to include a delicious salad to lighten things up. This year, I am skipping my traditional lettuce salad and going with a kale pomegranate salad instead.

This year, we are hosting Thanksgiving for our whole immediate family. That means my home will be packed with the joy of 19 people, including kids. While I am super excited to spend the holiday with close family, it also totally makes me dream of updating my kitchen to make it look better and function better.

I’m about to blow your mind with literally the BEST thing you might ever make and it takes less than five minutes. Sounds too good to be true, right? Well, it isn’t!
Our annual holiday party was a few weeks ago and I spent the weeks between Thanksgiving and the party getting everything prepared. The menu is of course a huge part of the party and that includes what types of drinks are served. In addition to our standard drinks, I always like to serve a cocktail that guests can help themselves to throughout the party. This year, that cocktail was a orange pomegranate sparkling punch.
Do you love holiday baking? I certainly do. From the day after Thanksgiving all the way through Christmas, I like to have a container filled with delicious treats hanging around the house for us to enjoy or to share with someone who might be visiting.
