Easy Holiday Entertaining Recipes
When it comes to holiday entertaining, I like to keep things simple. Think The Dude’s vibe from The Big Lebowski when it comes to my cooking and baking. So this holiday season when I was asked to put together a sweet and salty recipe on behalf of Betty Crocker and WinCo supermarkets all I could think was – let’s make this easy on us moms! Don’t get me wrong, I love to scroll through Pinterest and Instagram eyeing the amazing recipes the other (and very talented) moms have put together but I just don’t have that in me. I like easy! But that doesn’t mean with a little creativity you…

Family :: Creating Magical Holiday Meals Together
The holidays provide the perfect opportunity to spend quality time together making yummy holidays meals. It is such a wonderful time to pass down family recipes and have your kids help out in the kitchen. Just this past Thanksgiving, I had my daughter help me make the infamous green-bean casserole that my mother use to make every year. It is funny, because as a kid I didn’t really like this dish but now I absolutely love it! We ended up using Campbell’s Cream of Mushroom with garlic (highly recommend) and steamed the fresh green beans before we baked the casserole (also recommend doing this for a minute or two). I…

One of my favorite holiday shows is Charlie Brown Christmas and I am planning on watching it for the millionth time this month with my little girl. There is just something about Charlie Brown and his crew that put a smile on my face! Being part of the Netflix Stream Team, they send me monthly updates on what shows they are streaming for the month. Plus they offer some fun crafts and recipes to share with you all! See what they have planned for the month of December and sit back on the sofa, light up the fire, grab a cup of hot cocoa (don’t forget the whipped…

Recipes :: Delicious Holiday Treats
Today we are officially starting our holiday baking craze. Last year we had a blast making some nutty balls (yes, that was the name of the cookie) and fudge for our neighbors, friends and the teachers over at my daughter’s school. I like to try out different recipes each year and last year I attempted my mother’s fudge recipe. The fudge turned out delicious and my husband wants to state for the record that he really made it since he was the one stirring it the whole time. I was just too nervous I was going to get it wrong so I had him make it and directed from the sidelines. Hey,…
