Why am I showing you this

artichoke dip while talking about Christmas Day?

Because it’s a recipe that I make every year for Christmas Day.

It’s actually one on the many appetizers that I make instead of a huge holiday dinner with turkey and mashed potatoes and homemade rolls.

Hear me out.

A turkey dinner is my most favorite meal on the planet. But I was spending way too much time in the kitchen and not enough time with my family on Christmas Day in order to try to prepare it.

So now I make a bunch of different appetizers that are easy to assemble or even create the day before and we snack on those all day long.

You’ve got to make this at least once this holiday season. But I won’t be responsible if you make it again and again!

Okay, I’ll take that responsibility!!

Comment DIP and you’ll get this recipe in your DMs!

What I am about to tell you will

change your holiday season!

What’s popular this time of year?

Cookie Exchange Parties.

You know.

Where everyone brings a dozen or two cookies then everyone get one one of everyone else’s and you end up with a variety.

If you aren’t a baker, you can make and bring these Peppermint S’mores. And I pinky promise they will be the first ones to go!

Comment with RECIPE and I’ll share it with you!

*Send this to your non baker friends and family. Unless they are going to the same party as you, then save this Reel so you can bring the show stopper sweet treat!

Are you more team cookie or

team cake?

We’re not talking about store-bought cookies and subpar bakeries either.

Would you rather have a freshly baked cookie straight from the oven or a perfect slice of frosted layered cake?

Me?

I’m all about snitching a cookie when it’s only been out of the oven for a whisper of a second.

Btw, these Orange Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies would make a fabulous addition to the holidays this year. The chew on these are perfection!

Leave the word COOKIE in the comments and I’ll send the recipe right over!

Are you more of a

store bought costume fan or do you get a thrill from creating it yourself?

This is strictly only my opinion and I’ll be honest.
I don’t always live up to my own requirements every year.

But on the years that I do, those are my favorite.

*Not all three are required at once.

1. Homemade. I know they sometimes get a bad wrap, but I find immense joy in a weird way in torturing myself in trying to make my kids requested costume come to life! I thrive on the smallest details and love how happy it makes them when they wear it.

2. Themes. I LOVE a good theme. And one step above that is a little deep cut theme. One that makes people think a bit. We’ve only matched as a family a few times, but it’s always been a blast pulling it all together. These can definitely be purchased or created. But if you’re going to do it, you better go ALL IN!

3. Inflatable costumes. I simply find them irresistible!

So, store-bought or homemade? Tell me in the comments!

Am I the only mom in the world who sometimes

struggles with having their kids in the kitchen with them?

It’s actually way better now they are older, but when they were little, it was more stress than I care to admit.

Did I want them to explore and be creative alongside me?

Yes!

Was the kitchen sometimes the only little escape that I got from the day-to-day and dinner needed to be on the table 30 minutes ago?

Also yes.

I used to struggle extra during the holiday season because I had the expectation of creating these magical moments.

If you feel that upcoming stress with the holidays pressing upon us, just know that it is OK.

Let your kids make the mess along with the memories.

And also know that it is perfectly OK to kindly kick everybody out if you need you time!

* SIDENOTE: You need these chocolate pinecones in your life. Leave the word HOLLY JOLLY on this Reel and I’ll send you all the details!
This recipe is actually a fun one to make with the little ones in your life.

And guess what?

I’ve made it for my kids every Halloween for the past 17 years.

But my boys actually like it.

It is a very simple recipe and I keep it that way because it’s the way that my mom made it.

My husband calls it a good foundation recipe because it has a really good base and everyone can add in all of the toppings they like.

I’m dying to know what the recipe is you didn’t like as a kid but now can appreciate as an adult?

I love to send you the details on this chili, so leave the word RECIPE in the comments!

Some of the ladies even said

this was going to be there new Halloween tradtion instead of the standard chili that they have been making for years.

What I love most about this recipe is it’s only about six ingredients and it’s perfect all of pumpkin season.

It’s not your typical hamburger soup mixture that a lot of people make. This is all of the tastes of fall in the best way.

Yes, it would be perfect Halloween night, but also a delectable side for Thanksgiving or just straight up dinner in a crisp Tuesday night.

If you want this comforting recipe, leave the word PUMPKIN in the comments and I’ll be sure to send it right over!

Please don’t hate me for what I say at the end.

But I said what I said.

And if you want to know what I think it tastes like, leave RED in the comments below and I’ll message you.

I am regretting a little that I didn’t show you the inside of that Peanut Butter Square, but I pinky promise you it was the best treat I had at Disneyland!

And as for DCA, you’ve got to get the Choco Smash Candy Bar. Definitely share it with a few people, but it is divine.

Most of these are classic treats so be sure to save this video for your future trip or share it with someone you know is going!
