Did I miss anything?

I still have plans to bake my little heart out, but I’m only gifted those sweet treats to the families I know aren’t gluten free, sugar free or overall trying to eat better.

This little gift came together in minutes and will brighten someone’s holiday!

I created a special tag I’ll share with you if you’d like. And I’ll share a link to the game too!

Comment COOKIES and I’ll send you the details!

If there is just one thing you do today, it’s got to

be to share this with the person you know who cannot resist anything peppermint during the holidays.

I keep these few ingredients on hand during the month of December so I can quickly whip some of these peppermint s’mores if I need something in a pinch for a Christmas dessert.

Cookie exchange?
Easy and no bake.

Last minute treat for a party?
Takes 25 minutes from start to finish.

Neighbor brought something by and you’re feeling the guilt?
Box up a few of these and you’re a winner.

Comment Peppermint if you want the instructions.

This is by far the

best version of this popular Peppermint Milkshake out there!

You’re also going to need a little milk and we even add in our favorite protien powder if we’re needing to get more in for the day.

Let me send you all the details so you can make this all season long (and save money doing it, too!).

Leave the word SHAKE in the comments and it will be waiting in your messages!

Did you ever watch the Thanksgiving parade?

Or maybe you still do!

It’s always on in the background at my house and makes me miss my mom.

I’d love to share this Stuffed Mushroom recipe with you and I’ll even send over my favorite Stuffing recipe, too!

Comment PARADE and you’ll find the recipes in your messages.

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!
