9 Amazing Holiday Recipes You Have to Try This Year

There’s nothing like making memories while baking in the kitchen, which is why I’m so excited to share 9 delicious holiday recipes with you!

Before we get to these delicious family favorite recipes I want to take a minute to say thank you to Pasha for organizing this!

Every year when Christmas rolls around I get the urge to spend more time in the kitchen.

This year the urge has been even stronger than usual as I’m trying to overcome some fears I have in the kitchen.

I shared a little bit about these fears in my kitchen post earlier this Fall.

As more time has passed and I’ve had more time to evaluate the situation, I’ve made a couple of realizations.

Just recognizing these things about myself has helped me want to spend more time cooking and baking.

Which is a good thing because these holiday recipes I’m going to share with you are all AMAZING!

Not to mention all these holiday recipes would not only make great treats for home but also gifts for friends and family.

Making Memories with Holiday Recipes

Sometimes when I think about all the amazing things we should do each year with our girls, I overlook baking in the kitchen.

It’s nothing extravagant.

In fact it quite ordinary.

But that’s exactly what I’m learning this year.

The most meaningful memories with our loved ones often occur in the ordinary everyday moments.

Like baking your favorite chocolate chip cookies, or trying a brand new recipe for the first time.

Check out these recipes and pick a couple to try this year!

Then share it with me on Instagram or Facebook.

I love hearing from you so much!
